The #NWSL, where we just marveled at a 75 yard yard by Marta last week to close out a quarterfinal, and a week later, stunned by Kouassi making a 100 yard sprint for an opening goal sequence in a semifinal.

It was a beautiful day to get out the vote and to greet folks voting early! A ladybug landed on me while canvassing! I'm hoping it's a sign of good luck for our Democratic statewide ticket and our House Democratic Caucus.
If you haven’t already voted, vote on Tuesday between 6am-7pm!

For Lucy Dacus, the dreamgirl of boygenius, fantasies carry a lesson
Even as the songs on Forever Is a Feeling chronicle a love that's come to fruition in public, Dacus still creates a particular kind of safe space for the fans who delight in swooning with her.

my take on the new lucy dacus album: it's a beautiful deep album about lesbian love with clever, thoughtful lyrics. is the music the most groundbreaking or interesting she's made in her career? no but it's still an album i really enjoy with several songs that have made me cry that will stick w me
