Lots of muting during her performance but fuck it, we knew the lyrics. Ellie was iconing as only an icon can do with her pretty blue purse. And of course s/o to our host @ariivory.bsky.social.

It was amazing to watch USC step up and finish strong last round for her AND for themselves. The Trojans are fighting on.
Ahead of the tourney, Owen and I chatted with UCLA star Kiki Rice about her partnership with BetterHelp, working to dismantle the stigma around mental health, especially for student-athletes who are subject to online harassment. The full convo is at the QT’d @Winsidr link 🔗 ⬇️

At this point, just give her chips & keep it moving. No but seriously, Lish is happy the public gets to see a different side of her. She is a light. [2/2]

I’m looking forward to the 1-2 punch of Tash & Sab, considering these two have been playing together at Unrivaled and there’s a historical respect between the two
Been OOO, getting a little calm before the chaos of March Madness. Back to sports (bracketology in particular) tomorrow! Until then, 10/10 would recommend Sosúa, D.R.
