I'm really glad that Code Switch included this part of my interview, because I think these are the points that so often get lost in the discussion of trans panic and why the WNBA might be an ideal target for those anti-trans groups to latch onto. www.npr.org/2026/09/15/n...
I think it was late 2022 when I tweeted that everyone was going to know who Sabrina Carpenter was within a year, and I'm gonna do it again rn. Everyone's going to know who Adela is within a year
20yo me would think i'm fat but otherwise i think she'd be fine

I have no idea how to have this conversation within Jewish circles but the very obvious path we're on is that the ADL is devaluing the concept of antisemitism by making it synonymous with Ms Rachel and Macklemore, spending down the capital of American Jews in service of a genocidal apartheid state
rev. howard arson@theophite.bsky.social · 3d agoyeah the basic issue is that to avoid upsetting the Trump administration, every organization combatting antisemitism has decided that literally only antizionism is antisemitism
It’s is better when centrist democrats win elections than when republicans win elections.
Transgender World@transgenderreport.com · 4d agoGovernor Abigail Spanberger quietly ended a rulemaking process initiated in the waning days of former-governor Glenn Youngkin’s administration. The rule would have limited transgender students' ability to play sports and use facilities. www.wvtf.org/news/20... #transgender

Spanberger quietly kills Youngkin-era transgender rulemaking effort
“There’s no legal authority to move forward with rulemaking and prior administrations may have tried to create lanes and we’re not doing that,” Gov. Abigail Spanberger said.

I’m not interested in men in sports journalism writing or talking about this if they aren’t going to directly address men and misogyny in sports journalism.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 4d agoFrom @theathletic.com: Texas quarterback Arch Manning joked about an AI-altered video circulating on social media that depicted Steve Sarkisian slapping ESPN reporter Holly Rowe, whom the Texas coach wouldn’t let ask a question during a postgame interview.
Macklemore says “free Palestine” and the ADL applauds him losing gigs for it. Kanye West puts out a song called “Heil Hitler” the org can’t be bothered to have an opinion on it. Instead, they insert themselves into the concert venues to do trainings on hate symbols.
it was 55 degrees when i left my house this morning and I almost cried with joy in my long sleeved shirt with my pumpkin spice flavored hot coffee
fully didn't realize the Mets are in last place wow. happy for Juan Soto choosing his best chance to win
two things are true at once - 1) Macklemore has done things that indicate that he might be an anti-semite or hold inappropriate stereotypical views of Jewish people 2) there was nothing really wrong with what he actually said at the concert and kicking him off the tour is worrying censorship
I hate to say it but I think France will beat the US tomorrow
it’s wild that the heritage foundation wrote in text that the assault on trans woman particularly in sports is their first step in their efforts to completely abolish all Title IX protections and liberals still don’t believe it’s about more than trans women in sports
As I said yesterday: everything MLB has been promoting in connection with 9/11 this week reads like marketing intended to center Major League Baseball in the story of 9/11 rather than anything connected to a national tragedy. It's as gross as hell and the league ought to be ashamed of itself.
Andreeva being born in 2007 is offensive to me as someone who was a sophomore in high school in 2007
Gotta think Zheng's game plan is "go down 5-0" at this point 😂
Taylor Townsend looks like she could deadlift a house and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible
