Disabled, queer, and ready for a nap. Woso. SHX. She / hers.
This should work-- it's even in Spirit yellow! Also, soccer balls are harder to draw than I anticipated.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.

We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

It's like they're actively looking for increasingly insane detention possibilities, just to see how much their base will accept.

I can reassure the New York Times that networks of mutual protection, and misogynist retaliation efforts that benefit abusive men at the expense of the young women they prey upon, are very much still intact post-Me Too.
This is nauseating: “As the emails stretch through the years, they show how that protected realm vanished into the mists of time, pulled under by the rising forces of the internet and the #MeToo movement.” A “Gone With the Wind” framing for sexual abuse and harassment.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

trin can want to go to europe eventually and i hope she does but if she WANTS to play for the spirit next season and CAN'T because of cap constraints and is forced to make that move early that is also a labor issue and a player rights issue and idk why that isn't clicking

THAT'S LITERALLY HOW THE SUBSIDIES & ACA EXCHANGES WORK ALREADY.

CONSUMERS ARE INFORMED BY COMPARING POLICIES ON THE ACA EXCHANGES, THEN THEY PURCHASE ONE AND THE GOVERNMENT PAYS SOME OR ALL OF THE COST OF THAT POLICY.

I'M TEARING THE LITTLE HAIR I HAVE ON MY HEAD OUT.
Cassidy: "The president is proposing that we take the $26b that would be going to insurance companies if we just do an extension and give it directly to the American people in which 100% of the money is used for them to purchase healthcare on their own terms. That makes them an informed consumer."

Meg nails the urgency of the moment for NWSL, who have multiple paths to a solution on a situation that will have huge long-term impact. The league and club owners just have to figure out how to get out of their own way.
The good news for the NWSL: women’s soccer is growing thanks to increased investment and competition.

The bad news for the NWSL: women’s soccer is growing and the current salary cap is not gonna cut it.

Trinity Rodman is the final test. All in? Or fall behind? www.nytimes.com/athletic/681...
NWSL can’t keep Trinity Rodman and its current salary cap. It’s up to the league to choose
The rest of the world, and its biggest clubs, are watching the league's decision closely.

The U.S. intelligence community concluded Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved the killing and dismemberment of a Post columnist, making President Trump's formal dinner for the prince on Tuesday a dramatic step in public rehabilitation. https://wapo.st/3LOwEFn

#NWSL Are there any rules about fans starting a kickstarter to tip a player, therefore increasing her earnings without surpassing your antiquated salary cap?

Senator Menendez is sitting in his cell at Allenwood right now because he took a 1kg gold bar from the Egyptians, among other forms of “lobbying.”
"It was tough to beat Apple, but the Swiss did it." said one administration official.

What do we think, Spirit fam? #keepTrin #raisethecap?
November 15, 2025 at 9:49 PM
Ok, people who are better at catchy stuff than me. Are we sending the commissioner bottle caps to indicate that she needs to raise the salary cap or are we sending her fake dollar bills with Trin's face on them?

Respect Alice Wong’s call here:
“When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don’t care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving.”
COVID Isn’t Going Anywhere. Masking Up Could Save My Life.

When this play starts, Rose Kouassi is pretty much level with Hal Hershfelt as she clears it out of the box. All of four (!) seconds later, Kouassi is on the ball. Ten seconds after that, the ball's in the back of the net. ⏩

I woke up to the news that @sfdirewolf.bsky.social has passed away. I made sure to always give Alice her flowers when we texted or saw each other. I know she knew how much I loved her & appreciated the way she believed in & supported me. But I still wish I could tell her one last time.
