I've been wishcasting with friends about how Diego Luna would solve Austin FC's problems: a creator, a U22, is cool and fun to watch, has great soccer hair, does Bluey cellies...
It's gotten to the point that I'm so sad about anything else happening that isn't him coming here. (It won't happen.)

This year for #GivingTuesday my Shakespeare company, Walking Shadow Shakespeare Project, set a dream goal to raise $3000. We’re way behind that goal but we’re hoping that at least our “See Yourself In Shakespeare” campaign will inspire folks to check us out.

Welp, I finally got around to looking at it; @swoontower.bsky.social & @fortheglorykc.bsky.social lost the I-35 Cup to @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social
Final 2025 pts tally:
MNUFC: 8 pts
ATXFC: 7 pts
SKC: 1 pt
I suppose this means @crugglez.bsky.social & I actually have to turn this into a trophy?

To Kat's point, I have always said that the easiest thing to do in the face of reports of gendered violence is nothing. People desperately want to do nothing. And pushing them to do literally anything is seen as an attack.
It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop
