Sorry but one of the state reps encouraging everyone to support North End businesses during the World Cup since they won’t be having any Italy games was kinda funny 💀

She’s definitely been in practice so not sure. No additional info from team until this week’s availability report.

Boston Legacy scrimmaged the Boston Dream today.

Laís Araújo was on the field as CB and Nicki Hernandez was dressed/on the bench. BSG was not dressed.

This does not mean they’ll be available for the next games, but it’s progress nonetheless.

I was able to find the first half on Youtube 😅 but yeah even leading up to it it was hard finding any info about the game

And a statement from an #NWSL spokesperson regarding a potential calendar flip: "Any change of this magnitude will be thoughtfully considered and we are taking input from all key stakeholders."

Full statement:

Most NWSL players currently oppose potential calendar switch The National Women's Soccer League Players Association says that a majority of players are currently opposed to a potential switch of the league's calendar to a fall-spring season.

The union has spoken. Listen to the players 🗣️
“Our top priorities in any scenario are protecting and promoting Player health, safety, and performance. As a general matter, a majority of Players polled on this question currently oppose flipping the calendar”

So that’s definitely not the news I wanted to see today

Don’t really know what to say about my favorite player leaving other than I’m very sad and will miss his antics against Liverpool.

I love everything about this.

“Powered by punk spirit and backed by Planned Parenthood, this drop stands for autonomy, expression, and making noise where it matters.

Because control over your body and your style?

Non-negotiable.”

Got my eyes dilated and the person doing my exam tried to immediately put drops in my other eye without letting me blink away the sting from the first one

Those and 2FA make me irrationally mad sometimes

Just had to do a CAPTCHA that had TEN prompts to try to get into an account
