I DEMAND THAT I, someone who can barely swim at all, HAVE THE RIGHT TO AN OLYMPIC MEDAL, cuz I have the right chromosomes

(And also, btw, these 19th-century governing bodies do not want women competing at all. And that's where this all is heading.)

Or - or, hear me out - it is a complete bollocky, nonsense distraction from the real problem that the IOC has been ignoring & covering up sexual abuse by 🙀 cis men for decades

NYC, to me, is the ultimate of human civilisation. I am not kidding. I lived there through many trials, including 9/11, and..there is nowhere like it for amazing humanity.

I moved from NY [fled the US] some years ago, bc of...well, all this. But I do miss it dreadfully. NYC kinda ftw, actually.

Soul of New York stuff.

Fully for real historic.

Like, is it cheesy? Sure, kinda? But like Bemelman's or Marie's Crisis...it's New York, baby.

Awww yeah, loved that place.

If there are folks who would like to design a couple of "FUND OUR LOCAL PUBLIC LIBRARIES" posters, holler at me at niapoetry@gmail.com and please tell me your rate for this. Poster size would be 11 by 17 landscape size.

I need to print some posters for a forthcoming event.

Came here to say this! I recently rewatched it, and it is still a great film, but I was absolutely aware how much more amazing it was not knowing.

Had a great time at the @crowcollectivesg.bsky.social season kick-off party, and got this fabulous scarf! Looking forward to the Rise FC home opener Friday at Swangard!

Yup, I actually feel good about today.

i am a neutral and i want arsenal to win the league because human rights abusing petrostates are worse than annoying fans, and i don't understand how this isn't a consensus opinion.

Less than I would've expected, actually! Let's goooooo! 💪

I’m always amazed chuds use the NYC subways as the height of terror when I’ve never witnessed more spontaneous acts of kindness between strangers than on the streets of New York, particularly on the subway.

GET ON THE FUN BOAT

Honestly, there is very little I find as personally aggravating as this current tech 'profit model' of 'making everything as difficult or downright unusable as possible'. Took me easily 2 extra hours to even gather my tax docs; and don't even get me started on my FPL team...

Palestine FA officials denied entry to Canada for Fifa pre-World Cup meeting Officials from the Palestine Football Association have been denied entry to Canada ahead of a pre-World Cup meeting of Fifa’s member associations to be held in Vancouver this month

Members of the Palestine FA have been denied visas to enter Canada for the pre-World Cup FIFA Congress on April 30 in Vancouver. These meetings of FIFA's member associations are the main platform the Palestinian FA use to officially raise the issue of illegal Israeli settlement clubs.

😅

I'm still furious about this, because as I understand it, getting kicked in the balls does, in fact, hurt a great deal. So the only reason to say it doesn't is to dissuade women & girls from fighting back against violence.

When I was at uni, a friend & I were taking a self-defense class, and two male friends were like 'oh, you know kicking a guy in the balls doesn't actually hurt, that's a myth!' Pre-emptively protecting rapists. Wish I'd asked them to prove it. [one now works for Trump, so..yeah]

It's Bored Apes, but with the entire US economy teetering on it.

Drop your crime-fighting Catholics

My one take-away is that Eze facilitates Madueke enough to make it work better.

Was thinking same. Much as I am disliking Jesus up top at this stage in his career, I'd like to see him on the right, actually.

Are there any Nova Scotian artists (visual arts, craftspeople, musicians, etc.) who want to talk with me about their work, their financial challenges, and how the provincial budget cuts are affecting them?

Was just joking, let's take a vote in the (Arsenal supporters) pub, see who wants to switch over.

‘Everyone is Replaceable’: Death Rattles Oregon Amazon Facility A worker died at Amazon’s Troutdale warehouse last week. Employees were told to look away.

I am hearing Amazon just fucked up a sports broadcast. Boo!

They also worked a guy to death in a warehouse last week and then told a tearful worker who wanted to help give CPR to look away and keep working.
