“I don’t know what’s scarier. The fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart, or that sometimes I just want to let them.”

As a trans person living in 2026 USA, very few things have ever hit me as hard as this quote from Nimona (2023):

“The Mohegan Tribe chose to invest in women’s basketball at a time when male billionaires refused. It’s ironic, then, that the WNBA is now prioritizing NBA owners when those very owners turned their back on the league two decades ago.”

lesbians!!!!

LESBIANSSS!!!

I feel like people are asking a lot of "who is the Valkyries' primary ball-handler after VB?" questions that were already answered by the Tip Hayes signing...

that's my guess as well, but I wondered if we have any confirmation

@valkyriesbeat.bsky.social you mentioned in the newsletter today that the Valks protected Ceci. Do you know every player they protected in the expansion draft?

seven months on beehiiv, by the numbers was leaving substack worth it?

There's a lot of talk about leaving Substack & whether it will be the death-knell of your newsletter. I have been on Beehiiv for 7 months now & @tlpavlich.gay helped me run some numbers. So, was leaving Substack worth it? The answer, for me, has been a resounding "yes."

Here are the hard numbers:

Tiffany Hayes just got back to the Bay yesterday and didn’t practice today. She should tomorrow.

Kayla Thornton said “I’m good” and that she was fully back and ready to go. Natalie Nakase cautioned they’ll see what happens with her but seems she’s mostly recovered.

Okay I didn't hallucinate that, wtf dude?!?

Any word yet on whether this means a suspended contract or something? Are they expecting her back this season?

She never got it going with the Ghost Gang, now this. Sucks for Dana :(
