@kentremendous.bsky.social I get that it's baseball playoffs and obvi loving that but given you're still finding time to discuss the morally trash NFL — why not the W?

Just feels past time to bring some women's sports to the pos!!! Plus it's an electric time in ⛹️‍♀️ you'll have so much fun I promise

The show is incredibly sexist and sorkin loves to use it to kick at things like environmentalism and organized labor as annoying people who get in the way of serious politics.

Hi I'm sorry are you me????

In addition: have mentally plotted out a fan fic where the men in the west wing are taken to task by the White House's brand new HR department and then brought down by EEOC hearings. Will never actually write because of the 5+ rage strokes I'd get in the process

And also both present as desirable male behaviors, that IRL would be sexual harassment.

Remember when the White House hired Amy and Josh threw a fit, demanded she report to him directly *because* she's his ex, & then used his position to make her life harder, basically driving her out of the job? 🤮

I've worked in Dem politics for nearly a decade.

When I first watched the West Wing 3 years ago it was like being given a Rosetta Stone to translate the actions of a lot of my male peers,l.

But their aping of the show is usually a net negative. Esp the Josh stans bc IN REAL LIFE JOSH IS A VILLAIN

Congratulations!!
