Wow do you ever feel like the NWSL semifinals should last: forever? Because they have.
All scoreless at the break at Audi Field. The Spirit held Gotham without a shot for the final 36 minutes of the half. Aubrey Kingsbury has had more than one big stop.
Most of Washington's attacking chances are coming through Rose Kouassi and Leicy Santos. See below!

The Lou Moore starter pack.
I want to say this again: Fall and Winter 2016 was a terrible time for authors with new books. Books just vanished into the Trump news cycle maw. Please consider buying some Fall and Winter 2024 books so we (including me) can keep writing. Here's a list of authors with books to consider:
I have a frankly terrifying number of new followers. I can’t imagine I’m on a starter pack or list — I’m mostly a lurker.
I’m so confused about the “save” exception within this rule (separate issue from whether the rule should be changed)
We're still kicking as a small magazine that found an audience on Twitter. But we're not there anymore, and it's much harder for pubs like Contingent to find and grow an audience, so if you like our stuff--tell someone about it!

Mine is my yearly advice, especially for new TAs! Those great Canvas Speedgrader in-line comments and highlights? Your students WILL NOT SEE THEM. Either use another feedback strategy or commit to walking all students through how to find the in-line comments. community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-G...
Good morning to everyone starting out a new school year today. Remember that if you accidentally write on the white board with a sharpie, you can write over the sharpie words with an erasable marker and all of it will wipe clean. You got this!
A hill I may die on: we need fewer formal academic programs on AI specifically and more formal academic programs on STS generally.
Depends on how far down the ladder/if you were a consultant/if there was a sport communications focused position. But obv would be a huge change, hence the exclamation mark. Happy to have you where you are!
Did you take a job in athletic administration?!
Today is a great day to familiarize yourself with the work of Katie Barnes. Fair Play: How Sports Shape the Gender Debates builds on their fantastic reporting over the years.
This is where you plug your book! … and for everyone who feels the same, Loving Sports When They Don’t Love You Back! :)
Artistic gymnastics! (Aka Simone and Suni). Also, they aren’t replacing her! The team will only have four athletes!
I *always* cry on a first read of your books, but then I forget (because of eventual warm happy feeling), and have on multiple occasions saved your book for an airplane ride. With predictable results.
Do you know of any reporting on the economics of jerseys? There have been baffling decisions across women’s sports in this regard, and I’d love to know whether there are real logistics problems behind those decisions or just a refusal to invest or miscalculation of the interest
In honor of this weekend's US gymnastics trials and the fact that the Olympic team is going to feature a lot of Black women on it >> season 3 of the American Prodigies podcast, which is all about how Black girls went from the margin to the center of US gymnastics www.bluewirepods.com/podcast/amer...
The always brilliant @amirarose.bsky.social is the host and you never want to miss her on Black female athletes or when she interviews someone. And this is a whole entire series of both of these things. A dream. open.spotify.com/episode/3f0s...
My book with @princetonupress.bsky.social is officially out today! 🙏 The book traces how years (+ previous decades) of organizing pushed the city to the brink of ending its police department, why it didn't happen, and how public safety has changed after George Floyd's murder. hubs.ly/Q02tDsCx0
Why you should root for each WNBA team: an incomplete & biased guide by me (Robocoko)
Hi #WNBA fans of Bluesky, I created a guide to help you and your pals pick which WNBA team to support this year: no stats, just vibes. As the title suggests, it is incomplete & biased.
(Thread, obvi)
@838carlisle.bsky.social with the Spirit wearing yellow this season, what color do you think the ref uniforms should be? That green seemed really close on the screen I had available.
Apart from everything else— & holy DAMN it's a lot "else"— the mixed messages these kids are getting about "AI" & school work are fucking nightmarish.
"Don't use AI! It's faulty, unreliable, & plagiarism! Also if you use it, we'll use AI to catch you! Also here's some integrated AI tools, use them"
