Stay at home dog mom. OG genXer and lifelong liberal. Morning coffee and evening cannabis are my thing.I cuss a LOT! I live in New Mexico, but from the midwest. I love the WNBA & NCAAW, I'm a Fever fan, but not like those "fans". She/her.

WTF League Pass, why can I not watch the camp day game in Connecticut? #WNBA This sucks, it shows me the game - I click on it and it shows me a screen that says the game is on but wont let me join.

Great article! "In Nigerian culture, Los Angeles Sparks forward Nneka Ogwumike said, a person’s full name acts as an affirmation. Ogwumike, whose full name is Nnemkadi Chinwe Ogwumike, said Nnemkadi means “mother supreme,” Chinwe means “God gives,” and Ogwumike means "warrior"." #WNBA

This beautiful blue jay visited my birdseed block this morning and I was lucky enough to catch him for a quick pic. I believe this is a Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay

Blue Jay perched on a platform feeder attached to a wood fence. The “blue jay” of dry lowlands from Nevada south to Mexico, Woodhouse's Scrub-Jay is a dusty blue bird set off by gray-brown and white. It looks very similar to the California Scrub-Jay (they were considered the same species until 2016), but it's a dimmer blue and dingier gray, with almost no necklace, a straighter bill, and higher-pitched calls. The bird's rounded, crestless head immediately sets it apart from Blue Jays and Steller’s Jays. These birds are a fixture of dry shrublands and woodlands of pinyon pine and juniper.
