I always wonder if the people who say phrases like “biological men” ever had a real conversation with a trans person before and even more so a trans person in sports. not a betting person but I’d bet a large amount of money on no.

Oh oh! I know!!! They lost two games in their own stadium and watched us hoist the trophy on their field. It was beautiful. My mom and I cried as we hugged each other. Very therapeutic for us after Harvey. Thanks for bringing up great memories. ❤️

@flushes.app was one of the first examples of a totally unique ATproto app that was clearly built for fun. And a good protocol encourages people to create fun toys. But now it's back wit a new version... with a fundraiser in support of @trevorproject.bsky.social . Kudos to @dame.is on the relaunch.

I'm weak, finally paid for Space City Home Network to watch Astros games and it just worked immediately, MLB TV has something to learn from
I started my day off by spraying nematodes in my backyard, which is a totally normal thing someone does on their day off
If you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.
it feels like odds of MLB having a lockout next year just went 📈 over night salary caps are anti labor but also these dodgers are ridiculous
A good commissioner steps in now before every WNBA game becomes a rightwing performance space, like school board meetings were during peak CRT. You just have to throw the hammer down on this. Do not give them an inch.

there’s one TERF WBNA player who is getting way too much air time on instagram (won’t say her name), and I really wish we would stop platforming her just feed me content on literally anyone else
I just had an emergency phone call with some of the greatest minds on the planet (Ivy League professors, astronauts, chess grandmasters, attorneys, analysts, and Arby’s corporate chefs), and we all agree: The haters are going have a tough time sleeping tonight. The Houston Astros are back!
I regret to inform you that the Astros are playing good now, so I’ll be insufferable for longer
Chandler Rome@chandlerrome.bsky.social · 5d agoThe Astros won 11-2. They are 56-55. Houston has secured the season series over the Rangers, overtaken first place in the American League West and is over .500 for the first time since April 6.

damn Glen Hansard past away today. I first found him as someone in a U2 documentary years ago and started listening to his music because his passion when playing the guitar felt a little infectious. ❤️ youtu.be/JXpJYtgCnJA?...

We made a pretty big change to how Netlify works. You can still yolo git push straight to a public production site, but if you want projects to start (or stay) private for your team, now it is much easier. Less of an excuse to leak out sensitive internal data too because an agent did it. 😉
Netlify@netlify.com · last wk.For most of Netlify's history, every new project deployed straight to a public URL. That made sense when going live took real effort. Now a deploy is often a work in progress: prototypes, internal tools, early client work, agent builds. So new projects can start private. ntl.fyi/4yF4LU9
Worry no more about your colleagues accidentally publishing a wide-open internal financial report microsite to the internet from ChatGPT. Hypothetically, right? 🔒 New sites are now private by default. Opt in to make it public with one click.

After ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Araujo, the FBI leaked to Fox News a claim that he was found with possible meth in the van. His family said it was a total falsehood; it was a bag of salt to be used to make an electrolyte drink. And they were right. It was not drugs.
astros might not be great but boy do they know how to give you hope.
Chandler Rome@chandlerrome.bsky.social · 2w agoThe Astros won 9-5. They are 51-54. An eight-run sixth inning erased a 5-0 deficit. The Astros' bullpen threw eight innings of two-run ball in relief of an injured Spencer Arrighetti. Since May 1, Houston's bullpen has a 3.01 ERA. Only the Red Sox and Yankees have a lower one.
okay, we heard the fox again and it sounds demented kind of like this youtube.com/shorts/3wXYo...

when I said I wanted more WNBA coverage I did not mean "non-stop coverage of the opinions of the sixth-best player on the Indiana Fever"
