am suggesting media attention should supercede ground organizing. They're tactics that can go hand-in-hand, down the line.

I'm sorry, I had to step away for some life reasons.
I think there's a third option here, which is getting that half dozen together, discussing the issues, preparing them to each host their own half dozen, *and* creating media opportunities at the right time. It's not an either/or and I by no means

I have a question: why wouldn't local protesters want wider attention? That's a fundamental step in growing a movement, both locally and in building alliances. I'm confused by the pushback against the idea.

He did and it's referenced in the article, but without clarifying her gender. Basically, the writer breaks it down as the Old Guard losing his mind in the face of a viable challenge from someone who doesn't think the world revolves around him, that she's creating her own orbit and he can't cope.

Damn. I don't know why it let me read it.

reference his clear issues with women coaches.

I'm cheering for Michigan tonight because he soured me on UConn's whole program.

The night Geno Auriemma snapped — and Dawn Staley showed the game has changed The power dynamic is shifting atop the world of women's basketball. And Auriemma knows it.

@feclad.bsky.social I hope you're able to read this article about Geno showing his ass the other night. Interesting how they ignore the race dynamics and only vaguely

Didn't even have to hit play, and haven't seen it since 1996.

Three.

Something I’m tired of? I’m tired of seeing men head coaching woman’s sports and no women head coaching men’s sports. I’m tired of a woman’s place is the kitchen and men being notable chefs.
This shit needs fixing.

But did you see his piss poor "apology" today? Seems like he's had issues with other women coaches in the past, and this is some next level, old boy, white man entitlement on his part.

Seeing Dawn say she'd beat his ass was cathartic and might be my new ringtone this week.

she was NOT fixing to play with that man.

Geno Auriemma and Dawn Staley have tense postgame exchange after South Carolina shock UConn in Final Four Dawn Staley and Geno Auriemma had a heated exchange at the end of South Carolina’s 62-48 win over UConn in Friday night’s Final Four matchup

Found this and his little quote about her "ranting and raving" sets my teeth on edge. If that's how he thinks of her? Oof.

He's lucky she didn't climb over those people and knock him on his ass. It looked like the thought might have been crossing her mind.

...God DAMN this is good.

I tried cutting most meat out for two years. Dating vegetarians will do that. All I got was severely anemic. Conclusion? Steak is very tasty and preferable to iron infusions.

He's both Mormon and Republican. He's absolutely getting arrested for kiddie porn in the next ten years. Or leading a cult. Or leading a cult that makes kiddie porn. The Venn Diagram is basically a circle between those and Mormonism.

I knooooow. Seeing her name, though, just... It's like my cousin who met Dick Cheney and was surprised the guy was a jerk. Like, it's literally right there in the name.

Counteroffer: they keep that mess, take Ice Cube and Nick Cannon off our hands, and give us somebody's grandma's recipe for a good curry.

@feclad.bsky.social I learned today that our least favorite queer singer's real name is Kayleigh. I think this explains absolutely everything.

I didn't want to say it, but you're not wrong. I mean, I was taking a guess at the $50, the stores might have more or fewer than 20 employees, but it's still crap. Like, how is that worth a headline? How are we actually giving this man props for doing the absolute least?

Five Guys CEO says he gave a $1.5m bonus to his workers so he wouldn’t get shot in the back Jerry Murrell seemingly alluded to healthcare CEO killing when he explained giving bonus to workers after bungled promotion

What's buried in the article is the $1.5 mil was spread between 1500 stores for a whopping $1000/store. So maybe $50 per employee, but I guarantee managers rewarded themselves first, then regular employees.

Why doesn't the White House have restrictions like historical buildings or the world's strictest HOA?

Thank you.

one of the women who raised me died today.

I'll cry in my room, burritoed in my blankets alone at 3AM instead, after everyone else has been hugged and reassured we'll make it through and prayed with.

And I'll wake up and text him, "You good?"

Because that's what I get to do. That's my role when I am barely keeping from screaming because

So. Just once, I want to be allowed to fall the fuck apart and demand everything stops to put me back together. I want to wild out and hit things and yell and drink until I pass out like he did the last time, and have him and Mom scramble to make sure I make it through.

crises. He said it when our father died, that I'd always been the one to tell him, his big sister.

I am the one who makes the calls to ask, "Are you okay? Do you need anything? What can I do?"

I didn't cry. My voice didn't shake when I spoke to him. To my cousins.

It's not allowed to.

I was 11 or 12 the first time I had to make the 9-1-1 call because someone was dying two rooms away.

My mother didn't call to tell me Mary passed today. She called to ask me to tell my brother.

He's 42 years old, not a damn child. But my job. My damn job has always been to tell him about the

Just once, I would like to act out and show my whole backside out of grief while expecting grace and understanding the way my little brother does.

Instead, once again, I am supposed to look out for him. And the cousins. And the Adults. Be helpful. Ask how they are.
