The Seahawks are going to the Superbowl? Makes so much sense last weekend I picked up a friend at a bar and when I got there, within moments of entering, the bar exploded with cheers & shouting & I had a sensory overload & needed to leave pronto. Thankfully it reinforced my avoidance for sports bars

Reading the oral arguments for Little v Hecox (The transgender sports ban in Idaho that was argued in front of SCOTUS a few days ago) is so depressing. Idaho's argument doesn't even make sense, they are just bigoted bully's on a power trip due to a partisan SCOTUS letting them continue as such
