Which NWSL teams are we still waiting for captain announcements from?

I just saw that Marina Mabrey and Saniya Rivers hard launched and I'm 😍😭👀

It's a real bummer that Caicedo is stuck* in Spain for the foreseeable future**.

*She signed a long contract, obviously she wants to be there. "Stuck" is my bias 🤪

**Though if Alyssa Thompson taught us anything, it's that newly signed long-term contracts don't actually mean anything 🫠

Round three is a Yazmeen Ryan jersey paired with guillotine earrings and these perfectly matching shoes🤌🏻

It would certainly be one way to get Fishel back in the USWNT fold.

Okay, Reign, gimme a scorer for this money...

Same 😭

I'm personally sad, but this makes sense if Fishel is fit. They were never able to integrate them together.

But also...what's our plan to score goals, y'all? If Lynn were available obviously that would be the answer, but...

I remember being the grad student running my food bank and entirely dependent on people donating. I now have the means to be the person who donates.

Not talking big bucks. Probably looking to support 6-8 new orgs/projects at $25 or so/month, in addition to maintaining our current orgs.

Wifey started a new job in December and house build stuff is complete, so we're re-organizing some of our financial stuff, including our monthly giving. If you have an awesome project that could use monthly support, shout it out below for us to consider?

Oh, interesting. I hadn't considered that as an option, but it would really allow her to be a capital s Star.

After being labelled "wartime traitors" by State television for refusing to ‌sing the national anthem before a match, 5 Iranian players defect to Australia. They were placed under police protection due to fear of repercussions & put in a safe house. A harrowing story continues.

And that was WITH supportive foster parents. Now imagine a trans kid with evangelical foster parents in Texas. Heartbreaking.

Even in states that are supposedly affirming (like mine, WA), the day-to-day case workers and lawyers and judges may not be. Ask me about how our trans teen was basically required to age out in order to be allowed to start t because no one gave a single shit about him or his care🙃

And states that try to protect queer youth by requiring foster parents to be affirming get their pants sued off.

Did I tell y'all I'm driving this thing now? Lolllllllll.

Our heart is especially in food insecurity, folks in recovery, queer populations, abortion access and family preservation. But absolutely willing to be pitched on your pet project if it doesn't fit those categories!

Lollllll just saw the Caitlin Clark quotes regarding the CBS, and yeah. Sounds about white. Jesus fuck.

Thanks! *takes a bow*

Ahhhh fuck, you right. Thanks!!

I really wish conferences would stop holding their shit in Texas and Florida. Because I'm not traveling to a place where people in my family aren't safe.

As a foster/adopt/other situations home, we have hard conversations with our young children about damn near every Pixar/Disney movie they watch.

Gay people aren't even a thought to them. Gay people are the easiest conversation we've ever had.

Kate Walsh's season 6 Private Practice hair is impeccable.

Goalie: Claudia Dickey Defenders: Izzy Rodriguez, Jordyn Bugg, Janine Sonis Midfielders: Leicy Santos, Croix Bethune, Jaedyn Shaw, Manaka Matsukubo Forwards: Gift Monday, Amanda Gutierres, Reilyn Turner Bench: Jordan Silkowitz, Ayo Oke, Macey Hodge, Mia Fishel

Am I a bit too enthusiastic, maybe. But here's my @sheplaysinc.bsky.social team to start off the year!

Is there a Bluesky league yet?

Ahhhh that makes total sense. Thanks!

Okay, am I just a dingus or is Temwa not available?

Maybe Tierna also?
