I need people to understand that for the last half decade that there’s been an ecosystem of trans folks in sports media who have worked unpaid to serve as experts for context, sources and educators on what it’s like for trans athletes, in hopes of potential bylines and contacts. That’s dried up.

I hate sounding like a conspiracy person but there’s a reason that this Sophie Cunningham thing is on like day 7 of discourse and how there’s absolutely very little trans staff writers driving the news coverage of it.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

Hard Knocks podcast. Siciliano asked Sherm if this team repeats would it erase the pain of their Super Bowl loss. Sherman: "It doesn't erase our quarterback throwing the ball to the other team at the one-yard line with 28 seconds to go" lmao

You can cancel baseball next year. Imagining how good the Mariners should be is a lot more fun than watching how bad they are.

Hard knocks is making me very nostalgic for home and luckily I will be home AND getting some peninsula time very soon i have not experienced pnw in the summer since I moved for grad school and I need it like i need water

beginning to think that my parents getting engaged on top of the mariners home dugout in the kingdome cursed that team forever

If you're going to T-Mobile Park tomorrow, please strongly consider wearing a mask due to the potentially unhealthy environmental conditions of watching the Seattle Mariners offense.

every once in a while I remember Abe went to archbishop murphy and is about my age which is so fucking funny I'm probably max 3 degrees of separation from him

I went out to grab my laptop after watching hard knocks and clover cried for couch time and now I have a little cat on my lap. so I think it's time to rewatch hard knocks but on my tiny laptop screen with my tv right over there but I can't connect my laptop to it so I cant use it

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.

People still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.

😭😭😭

Best thing abour the first episode of hard knocks? Not a single frame of a fish being tossed

Okay I'm starting hard knocks now I had to decompress

they're bringing back my sweet prince jhonny pereda

there's a hard knocks clip of DeMarcus Lawrence making fun of derick hall for his shorts and I think thats beautiful

it's occurred to me that I think it was actually seattle academy... I am not sure anymore...

If I didn't have strong beef with seattle prep from niche high school activities drama I would think this fairchild kid (he is not a kid but you know what I mean) is fun! but I do so fuck him

I'm really glad that ESPN got rid of a talented and knowledgeable dude like Ryan Clark so they could pay a sleeveless punter more money so Aaron Rodgers could be on TV complaining about Dr. Fauci. What the absolute fuck is wrong with everyone

May Aaron have the season he deserves (derodgersatory)

WNBA (the org) courted this. They could have nipped this in the bud, but instead they placated anti-trans activists, so now bigots have glomed onto them. If you don't tell them their opinions are vile and are unwelcome, they will destroy you or leech on you forever. just ask amnesty international

riley gaines is at the minnesota lynx vs indiana fever game posing with people courtside as they line up for photos

I wasn't on bsky but just know that (since Josh Naylor seems to be unharmed) that him taking third was another 'Josh Naylor is the funniest player in baseball' moment

Amid the din of Jalen Milroe training camp hype, a fell voice on the air whispers an ancient truth

if you gave a lady who was the historical model for a trad wife a time machine and five grand buddy they are OUT of there

That man running shuttles like me has earned 300 plus million dollars in his career and hasn't won shit. I am in awe of his Bag Getting

Denny Carter@dennycarter.bsky.social · 6d ago

As a fellow dad runner, I respect Kirk Cousins here. As a football enjoyer, I’m concerned for his safety and well being.

Here's what I will say: Luis Castillo got a lot of crap because he had the audacity to make a good wage and make it less easy for John Stanton to afford an island. It was a great trade to acquire him from Cincinnati, and he should be remembered as one of their best starters ever.

I think I'm gonna be an Anthony Bradford truther this season

If I didn't have strong beef with seattle prep from niche high school activities drama I would think this fairchild kid (he is not a kid but you know what I mean) is fun! but I do so fuck him

do the niners fucking practice on turf????????????

I will technically be in town for one of the training camp days.... its the kid's day tho so it would be maybe weird for me to be an adult on my own there

A pilot jumped out of the door of a moving plane to his death, leaving the student he was teaching to fly to land the aircraft by herself. The student said he told her, "You know what you have to do, carry on."

Such a dork and I love him
