This year for #GivingTuesday my Shakespeare company, Walking Shadow Shakespeare Project, set a dream goal to raise $3000. We’re way behind that goal but we’re hoping that at least our “See Yourself In Shakespeare” campaign will inspire folks to check us out.

Welp, I finally got around to looking at it; @swoontower.bsky.social & @fortheglorykc.bsky.social lost the I-35 Cup to @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social
Final 2025 pts tally:
MNUFC: 8 pts
ATXFC: 7 pts
SKC: 1 pt
I suppose this means @crugglez.bsky.social & I actually have to turn this into a trophy?

To Kat's point, I have always said that the easiest thing to do in the face of reports of gendered violence is nothing. People desperately want to do nothing. And pushing them to do literally anything is seen as an attack.
It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop

Would love to hear the @mlspa.bsky.social perspective on this - the "giving players a bigger platform to provide visibility and garner more followers/endorsement opportunities" angle is one I hadn't recognized. At the same time @bradstuver.com is our most popular & most visible player, so it tracks?
Wrote something a little different during the break that I hope MLS PR considers, as national outlets keep decreasing coverage and now AI content is replacing writers. Someone had to say something before media access just gets worse. (Free post) www.patreon.com/posts/141166...

It’s official: EA is going private.
The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years.
