My most fun deck so far possibly. Lots of 0 cost cards and ways to pull them back from discard.

Yesterday was beautiful. Lovely weather, notice handed in at work and leaving date arranged, Lizzie had the most amazing morning when normally her autism makes first day back a nightmare, and I spent the evening visiting friends and playing games at their new home. Let's keep the positives going

Marching into the office the day after handing in your notice is a pretty splendid feeling 👋

Oh fuck off dude. Genuinely thought you were better, hence my original reply. Apparently I was wrong.

Bullshit. You don’t get to decide who is and is not a “real supporter” purely by your own feelings. You have no idea of the experiences that bring people to this decision.

If you can still support that’s great, but don’t validate somebody else’s emotion, you’re better than that.

And again, if somebody wants these please let me know.

Fuck you @tottenhamhotspur.com for putting us in the situation where we have to make this kind of decision.

Not a penny from me going forwards. I love Spurs but for my own mental health I can’t support this anymore.

Was largely on BlueSky for COYS so I imagine I’ll be pretty quiet from here.

Respectfully, the fact that every single abuser and apologist in the sport has been allowed to continue on without long-term consequences is exactly the problem. That's the proportion you should be worried about. Complacency isn't an option if we're ever going to make ⚽ a safe space for everyone.

Tottenham Hotspur confirm the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi as head coach This sucks.

This is an official statement from Cartilage Free Captain:

Fuck you, @tottenhamhotspur.com.

I have £210 worth of THFC stadium gift vouchers that were given to me as a gift. I’d been keeping them waiting for summer to use for stadium tour skywalk and abseil. I have no interest in using them now after the de Zerbi appointment.

Anybody want them in exchange for a donation to a good cause?

Some may be dismissive about whether the avalanche of emails protesting De Zerbi can dissuade Spurs’ leadership from making another bad decision but it’s about more than that.

The emails and letters also represent a protest against the way the club is being run by the current owners.

Just remembered that I still have the gift vouchers for two stadium tours + skywalk and abseil off the stadium. I guess those will be going to waste

This is also a correct take. The Big AI industry writ large did very much bring this PR clusterfuck upon themselves.

More and more, every fucking day it feels, I am having to make moral decisions because of the state of the world and society. To some this is an overreaction, and I accept not everybody feels the same, but this sort of thing is the only small difference we can actually make from our position.

Make yourself heard

Being a supporter is about more than the business that owns it, the people that run it, etc etc. It's not as simple as saying "I'm not Spurs" anymore, but I don't know if I'd ever be able to truly come back either.

I really hope it doesn't happen, but if/when it does I really, really hope that we as fans stand by how many of us are feeling right now and do something about that.

If the appointment is confirmed I am stepping back. I'm not spending a penny that will go towards the club and I will stick by that.

Yep, it fucking sucks. Bluesky won't allow me to write my long rant I did this morning here, but the decision to bring him in (or frankly to even seriously consider it) is just a sign post to me that I need to step back my relationship and financial investment I think

I have some reason to believe we are trying to appoint RDZ. Given our CEO and the situation at his previous club, this is not entirely surprising.

An Open Letter to Tottenham Hotspur #NoToDeZerbi

I wrote a thing. It might get me in trouble.

Repeating again out of fear

The world really did go to shit after Bowie died. He was the thing keeping it all together.

Please not De Zerbi. Please not De Zerbi. Please not De Zerbi 🤞

Yesterday I got to play some IRL board games with other people for the first time since New Year’s Day. The White Castle which seemed very good but had an awkward rules teach as it was an unplanned choice of game, and then we had a go at the new edition of Arkham Horror LCG which was really good.

Although this outlook is getting tested today :(
