What an incredible weekend of soccer, despite VAR’s attepts to steal all my joy. Matches like Australia-Norway and Brazil-France are what make the World Cup so special.
The greatest woman’s soccer player in history took what might be her final bow at a World Cup and left this inspiring message for the young women who will follow her:
"Cry in the beginning so you can smile in the end"

“I love NYT’s dedication to periods.” Lmao yes. Whenever I read NY Times, I’m like WOW they are really dedicated to every single bit of English grammar.

Casey at the verge is doing some amazing stuff there with social media. There is an accompanying podcast interview he did at times it’s even tougher to hear what he saw and heard. If I remember correctly he will also discuss this on Kara Swisher’s(lesbian and can’t go an episode without talking about having more lesbian/queer women as tech ceos) Pivot. There is also an article in the Irish times that has a similar story, and that was wild too. Came out in May.

The Red Zone article was really interesting. i thought it was really really interesting that the word they use for butch is Camiona, or Camionera, like literally trucker. this isn’t my community or my reality but it caught my attention. what did you all think?

As an English woman I was completely bewildered by the NYT’s dedication to periods, till I realised it’s what we call a ”full stop”..

This has me thinking about my old AACR2 Cataloguing manual, where I first read about a period being a “full stop” and… the English Beat with their Ranking Full Stop.

Crystal Dunn has become my favorite player. She is tenacious and often takes the ball from women who appear to be a foot taller. Love watching her.
