Text box over a picture of the Blue Crew section holding a sign that says Trans People Belong. Text reads: We're disgusted, dismayed, and quite frankly, terrified by the actions of the Kansas State legislature over the last couple weeks, which has accelerated to a new frightening degree by the invalidation of driver's licenses and birth certificates. Trans people belong. Trans people have always been here. Trans people will always be here. We will never stop fighting for our neighbors, our friends, our community. We will share and amplify resources on how you can help the trans community in Kansas

I watched the Thorns and Reign preseason matches.

DW looks at a sign on Arthur’s door. The poorly-edited caption reads “that skeet can’t stop me because I can’t read!”

I dunno much about Schmetz’s kids, but I gotta assume they all play exactly like Paul Rothrock.

I dunno seems like maybe 12 minutes of stoppage and four yellows to one side in the first half isn’t particularly indicative of a strong outing for an officiating crew? #sounders

I guess I’m old now because I still think of watching the usmnt in spanish as true believer stuff, since that was the only coverage available for games outside of the world cup. I still watch spanish-language feeds when english ones are available sometimes because it’s more fun.

Okay but paulie rock coming in and immediately getting an assist really steadies my nerves

Erm, that looks like the “I’m actually injured face” from jmo 8 minutes into the season????

Here’s what Tim said: bsky.app/profile/timo...

Is he on loan from the defiance?

An “unbridled desire to work” is not healthy for workers and other living things.

Oof. I’m glad he’s willing to do what the team needs, but I’m not emotionally prepared for the resulting deluge of “Rusnak is bad, actually” from fans who don’t watch the games and just look at the stats.

"How Do You Avoid Hitting People With Your Car" pocket guide. Instructs readers to Watch the Road and Slow Down. Further text humorously insists that watching the road and slowing down are indeed important.

We worked late tonight coming up with this handy pocket guide to send to NPR.

It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers.

I’m not sure if these are ai (explanatory), but these are definitely ai (derogatory)

A picture of Sounders Georgi Minoungou holding the crest with the caption “I think Georgi is a pretty cool guy. Eh scores gaols and doesnt afraid of anything”

The result isn’t what I hoped but I still love Georgi scoring

It’s particularly annoying that I have to cancel all this because we were grandfathered into an old Disney+/Hulu/ESPN plan that cost less than Disney is charging for any one of those at this point, but you’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do.

Went to cancel my marvel unlimited subscription because of the abc/disney cowardice and wouldn’t you know, the unsubscribe button just happens to be broken right now. What a coincidence!

Yes, hi, if you are out here asking your boss for a permission slip to do fascism, please be aware that in the final reckoning, it will stand as evidence that you were fully aware you were doing fascism and were complicit anyway. It’ll make things worse for you, not better.

SPD constantly tell us they need expensive new toys to do cool stuff to “protect us” and solve crimes and then immediately bail anytime they have a chance to do cool stuff or protect us or solve crimes.

No police injured and no arrests reflects more on the difference between us and uk police than the difference between left-wing and right-wing protestors, though. We shouldn’t use that as a bellwether for our success, since the police can incite violence and arrest innocents to game the numbers.

Oh sorry, I was trying to be too clever by half — I meant like “cheers to a good opinion” not “here’s the emoji you’re looking for”

I think what I’ve learned tonight is that I should always watch the sounders-miami match on my phone from the beer garden at a slyvan esso show, not only for the vibes but also for the results

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to BlueSky.

I'm not gonna read through all the mentions but I know for a fact someone's in there unironically saying "this'll only fix 95.2% of the problem!"

Does anyone know what’s going on with the Seattle pwhl team? It feels like we’re getting a little close to hockey season to not have a schedule or logo or sweater or name yet…

Wild to me that we’ve decided to let a handful of billionaires claim the fruits of the entire intellectual history of the species just because they’ve been able to finance a file format that compresses it efficiently
