Once again this season, screamed so loud I scared the cat. Jaedyn Shaw is one of the best stories of the year.

So they lied. Repeatedly.

Not at Wave-Thorns today but watching from afar while my partner recovers from surgery. Fun to be a fan for the NWSL quarterfinals and root for complete chaos.

“It’s just unfortunate that players like Barbra have to go through that harassment when they bring so much joy to their cities and communities. These are wonderful women. And this is the playoffs, which is the most exciting time of the year.” -Vlatko on recent transphobic rhetoric(? From me)
