Love to spend all my time on the "rat pushes button to get a pellet" machine. Or as we used to call it, a phone.

I have also been educated by trans people openly talking about their lives, at great personal risk to them.

I am eternally grateful for getting to see a community to which I don't belong talking to each other. The experience was edifying, and it would be impossible outside social media.

Any time you would laugh at the Yankees on Twitter, you'd get a bunch of dudes replying "27 rings." I mean, OK, you got me, but they won 22 of those before I was born.

Black Twitter is a perfect example of how people can learn from in-community conversations that don’t include them without interrupting or inserting yourself or demanding emotional labor. you just follow and listen and on your OWN TIME you get to examine where you’re experiencing personal discomfort

As a lurker, I learned so much from Black Twitter that as a middle-aged suburban white lady, I wouldn't know. Like, I liked to think I was mostly well-meaning, but the change in my frame of mind was important to my growth as a person.

*climbs out of pool and puts on bathrob* I'm sorry, y'all need to pull it the fuck together before the Olympics. I just learned about gymnastics Twitter's body of work in the past 24 hours and now I gotta read the dossier I commissioned on "the bad site*" (*The one that's less depressing)

That number, by the way, is not made up. If @nytimes.com spent as much effort talking about how Trump was held by a judge to be a rapist as they did about Biden being old, maybe we wouldn’t be having these conversations about Biden stepping down right now.

It always feels like a failing that we don't have good nicknames for our national soccer teams. We treat the teams like products stamped out of a factory (USMNT and USWMT sound like products made by Raytheon). Suffering of lack of imagination on and off the field.

I think we agree. There's a frustrating need to settle the ball before shooting or just not good enough shots off throughballs/loose balls in the box

Just said this exact thing. To me, the problem is we develop midfielders (facilitators) but no offensive creators. We're always putting crosses across front of goal but there's no one there to finish.

But at this point, most of the current players play in Europe. The development point is definitely true, we don't develop offensive creators, just faciltators.

General PSA: If abusers didn't understand how to be genuinely friendly and how to cultivate allies, THEY WOULDN'T BE DANGEROUS. There is NO SHAME in being misled by an abuser, or being friends with someone you don't know is abusive. The only shame is in enabling them once you know better!

That ref looked like he'd never even watched a game. I've seen a high school ref give a free kick outside the box for a defensive handball INSIDE the box, and this guy was so much worse.
