There is so much wrong with this, but the INSANE belief that "women only have value/can only take up space if I find them attractive" is the most common way men dehumanize us, and it leads to many of the most evil ills our society suffers.
I got six - no seriously, SIX - different messages today from cishet men saying that although they support me being trans, they would prefer if I stop my daily selfies because they aren't attracted to me and don't want to see my photos, and I am just wondering if the cishet men are ever okay
Today I'm thinking about how much relief & joy I felt when Biden won in 2020, how much hope I had that, surely, we would never again be back in the clutches of this criminal maniac as president. I really thought that there was no way they'd allow it to happen again.

Here we are any fuckin' way

Jason wants to get another point so badly. I hope he’s gets one to break through for the W.

The fact that the cowboys still have a game left in this miserable season, combined with the Super Bowl happening during the Winter Olympics this year, has got me firmly believing that elongating the season was a mistake. Go back to the way it was.

Man it’s 9:38 & they’re still in San Antonio after the game talking about it.

Get to the next game already….

I finally break & get a fire stick to watch my favorite hockey team on my actual television & they’re playing like this 😔

Check on your people who are going through a difficult life change.

Especially if they are someone who doesn’t tend to express emotions.

Ask them if they are safe. Ask them the hard questions.

Surround them with love & a safe place to say anything they feel w/o judgment or unsolicited advice.

Dirk is in the building tonight with his son who’s wearing a Flagg jersey & that makes me so so happy.

I’m astounded by Cooper’s stats right now, and also there’s something missing from this discourse & it’s not super fair.

The draft rule change after LeBron stopped 18 yo’s from being eligible.

If others like Luka/Wemby were rooks @ 18, Cooper’s not breaking some of the records he’s been breaking

I don’t think the Mavs beat the boring af foul baiting (& faking) defensive juggernaut in OKC tonight but I suspect it’ll be an interesting game & I’m v curious to see if they’re able to shut Cooper down again.

He’s already a lot better than he was in October & this will be a great test. 👀

If the top picture had babies with the middle picture, the bottom picture would be the result.

Look at them. This is tripping me out….

Two-possession game inside of three minutes to go:

• Cooper Flagg drills a FT-line J over Davion Mitchell
• Flagg stones Wiggins on a post-up, gets the block
• Flagg cuts off an AD drive, finishes a layup around Bam

Mavs up 10, timeout Heat. Flagg's getting better *fast.*

Look if you’re a Mavs fan that hasn’t watched since, (redacted), but you miss the joy of fun basketball, I’m begging you to try again. Just watch a few games as an experiment.

These rooks are for REAL & they are so incredibly fun to watch grow in front of your eyes from game-to-game.

Cooper Flagg blocked Jokic from behind & then got the rebound and THEN ran up the floor & laid it up on the other end.

And then they won the game (after being down 17 points in the first quarter).

And Nembhard got a 28 point 10 assist 100% TS stat line & he’s not even under contract (yet)

Crazy

I cannot believe the mavericks got that win after that first quarter. Holy moly what a team.
December 2, 2025 at 4:20 AM
I’m never talking shit about Dwight Powell again. What a dude.
December 2, 2025 at 3:44 AM
Jokic just blatantly shoved coop to the ground on shot attempt, & our announcers didn’t even mention the foul for talking about how impressive Jokic’s offense is?!??

Cmon!!
