I guess I need to just not watch and then they’ll magically perform well, because I just peeked and it was 47-46, Owls in the lead
13-31 at the end of Q1? Please tell me there’s a mercy rule before this gets worse
It’s called ✨protecting my peace✨
(I will be stalking this site and Threads for game updates)
Anyway, I watched the first 3 minutes of this Lunar Owls vs Mist game and had to turn it off for my sanity
I committed early this @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social season to the Lunar Owls. I have known nothing but pain since*
*Marina Mabrey’s historic 47-point game in Philly will forever be the greatest moment in basketball I’ve ever witnessed
I can’t decide if I have all these gray hairs because I’m 34 or because I’m stressed. Or maybe it’s because I’m 34 AND stressed. Either way, not a fan 🙃
I forgot this app existed again, but then @andreaschmitzzz.bsky.social reminded me. While I’m here - go check out her profile and her recent award-winning animation fresh off of the festival circuit, Mistletoe!
I forgot about this app for a couple of months 🫠
Anyway, that’s my sports rant of the day
And anyone who says women’s sports aren’t as appealing or worth watching - the WNBA, NWSL, and PWHL are all more interesting than the NBA. Y’all are just sexist and don’t want to admit it 🤷🏻♀️
Anyway, everyone deserves more than just hearing about Caitlin Clark all the time, and I want the men to shut up and stop talking about her and actually pay attention to the league for 5 seconds.
Paige Bueckers is out here breaking rookie records left and right. And before her have been many greats that drew national attention and deserved even more, like DT, Sue Bird, Candace Parker, Maya Moore, Stewie, A’ja Wilson… the list could go forever.
I’ve had multiple men tell me over the last few weeks that the WNBA wasn’t good before Caitlin and that she is the only reason anyone watches. I won’t deny that she’s good and has mass appeal. HOWEVER, there are so many players who have done it better and are better now who deserve their flowers.
My new “I will beat this dead horse and die on this hill” is the fact that Paige Bueckers is one of the best to ever enter the league but men who only watch the NBA and only watch the WNBA for Caitlin Clark cannot stop their “Caitlin Clark is the best and the only person worth watching” mess
When Michael Sam got drafted to the NFL, I watched his preseason performance like a hawk. The stats were there for him to be an asset to any team, but he was cut. For years after, I continued to rant any time it came up about how he deserved better. (This is going somewhere, I promise.)
I will say, this site will not be able to fully replace other social media until more journalists, news sites, and weather reporting is happening in real time on here.
I’ve been trying to use Threads less and I don’t think anything has been more motivating than the comments section looking like a cross between the worst parts of Twitter and Facebook
(And don’t get me started on the inherent ableism in chronic illness - I’ll leave that for another day)
Anyway, these posts are brought to you by my own journey with ableism and chronic illness and work I’ve done to unpack my own internalized fatphobia
I hate how it’s caused so much fatphobia in the process, though. Bodies come in all shapes and sizes and we should respect that.
I will be the first one to say I am not a fan of prescribing GLP-1s to treat weight only. But when weight is a symptom of a problem a GLP-1 can treat and it is starting to legitimize that we don’t always have control through diet/exercise/supplements/whatever we’re being told, I’m okay with it.
People get so mad in the replies on social media when even medical professionals call out how GLP-1s have proven it wasn’t about diet for a lot of folks. It’s almost like there’s an entire industry/culture that is built on ableist ideology around agency and self control in health outcomes /s
Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.
When I tell y’all that I have had *two* respiratory illnesses that caused me to miss work since the pandemic started - a cold last year and covid this year - I mean it. My body just sabotages itself for sport without any outside help
One major misunderstanding with chronic illness is that people with one “get sick” all the time. I used to hear it all the time when I was having bad endo flares - people said I was “always coming down with something.” No, my uterus was just trying to eat me alive and I didn’t want to be awake?
In other news, looks like I need to become a Dallas Wings fan because Paige Bueckers is THAT girl
Happy “Sedona Prince didn’t get drafted in the WNBA draft” day to all who celebrate
A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
