The Sparks (19-20) somehow stay alive in the postseason chase as they came back from 17 down in the second half to defeat the Storm (22-20) in Seattle. Impressive back-to-back wins by the Sparks. Check out the recap at the Sporting Tribune.

I wrote about the Los Angeles Sparks' sudden rise into the playoff picture after their rocky start to the season.
From a win-loss record of 6-14 to playoff contention 🔥

The Sparks’ turnaround, fueled by their mix of vets and young players, has them looking dangerous..

Great signing. I wish the Sparks drafted her.
The Dallas Wings have signed guard Serena Sundell to a seven-day hardship contract. Sundell will be available for Wednesday’s game against the Connecticut Sun.

I think what I love most about this is: the increased risk of death for Black mothers isn't just during labor and delivery, it lasts the entire first year postpartum. There are many theories as to why, and one of them is STRESS. This type of love and support could literally save her life 🫶🏾🥰

Anti-trans laws don’t only affect trans people and their families. In Vermillion, South Dakota, a bathroom ban nearly cost a town its only bookstore. Then a young trans couple stepped up. My latest for @washingtonpost.comwapo.st/4m3PuFP
A family opened a town’s first bookstore. A bathroom bill is driving them away.
The Phelans ran the only bookstore in Vermillion, South Dakota. They sold it and moved after a new law would’ve required their daughter to use a boy’s bathroom.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Kelsey Plum is one of the WNBA’s top assisters. But that’s on the court. Off it, Plum is giving back in ways that go largely unseen. It speaks to the type of person she is. In a wide-ranging interview, Plum opened up on a variety of topics.

Even if you don’t understand trans issues, you have to understand why it’s important not to cede ground when it comes to one group deciding who has the right to exist as they are.
