@hollygodarkly.wandering.shop.ap.brid.gy Not sure if this is the best way to tell you, but there’s audio from before the session overlapping the session audio in the most recent TPK. It starts around 3:55, and was ongoing until 5:00ish.

Sorry if I’m one of a bunch of people bugging you!

I was that kid. Blanket or running out of the room.

Is this only for Americans? Or are you interested licensed/registered clinicians from other countries (with different designations)

Here’s what the goal looked like from a TV in the press box.

Came off the first corner kick of the match.

Yep. There’s 3 NWSL friendlies today and only Utah/San Diego will be streamed.

I can’t believe that Fishel’s first game with the Reign won’t be broadcast.

GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

HAIRCUTS.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

Apparently it’s on YouTube too!

I’m not usually a YouTube person (I like my internet to use open standards), but I might have to watch an episode now, because that sounds lovely.

Thank **you** for putting this into the world! (And for going on the Incomparable game show where I heard about it).

100% he’s great too, but it’s shocking how conversational and creative she’s able to be while talking about concepts that could get so bogged down by complexity. It feels like she’s doing a magic trick, somehow. Transmuting impenetrable mathematics into a beautiful story.

I started listening to the Crash Course Pods: The Universe series by @astrokatie.com and it’s brought me so much joy in the midst of a dark time in our world.

Learning about what cosmologists have figured out about the universe’s history is awe inspiring and she is such an extraordinary educator.

Homeless voters struggled with ‘taxing’ Ontario ID requirements Elections Ontario has a process in place to allow homeless people living without a fixed address to vote, but many struggle to navigate it.

On Feb. 27, homeless people were turned away from the polls. There's a pervasive assumption that homeless people don't vote or understand politics — both of which are patently untrue. Elections Ontario must revise its process for people with no fixed address. www.thestar.com/news/gta/hom...

Any non-Americans have a link to watch the USWNT pre show with Becky Sauerbrunn? #woso #uswnt

I expect that if you cross the longest unprotected border in the world that you are not dead after your interaction with cops.

We are SO FUCKED if this is what passes for journalism right now. No "other side" comments from human rights groups, migrant justice orgs. Nothing to give them humanity. One of them died and we're like ... well, he did a border incursion, what do you expect?

The second, a CTV journalist used terms like the family was "handed over" to CBSA. A family, ill dressed for the cold, including 5 kids (who they call "youths" rather than children) and just passed from one group's hands to another like some merchandise would be.

There is so little humanity in these stories. In the first case, we are told that cops chased a guy down, threw out something like a spike belt, the guy fled on foot and then ... shot himself.

Does that seem like a reasonable explanation of events? It's sole-sourced from the cops, of course.

Yesterday, media reported that there were "border incursions" at the Coutts border crossing. The language in the reporting was suspicious, and intended to ellicit our sympathy for hard working cops.

Even though one person was killed and 9 people were a family, including 5 children, who crossed.

I've said it several times before but in case yall not putting two and two together, once mass deportations are done, the oligarchs will need a work force. Yall about to find out what a Black job is.

Don't believe me? Check the rising stocks in private prisons.

This is fantastic.

It’s a small win, but it’s a win.
