Hi! I made a little gift to myself to get excited about the new #LFC season in August, and it's officially become my goodluck charm. I put it on a ko-fi page, bc that's the only thing I know how to do? Obviously, it's free.

Easy little cross stitch piece that I drew up as a gift to myself before the 24/25 season. Please share with anyone who might want it. It is an 84x84 ...

It infuriated me how slick it looks. I finally like our kits again and Amrim shows up looking like that? gut punch

Pinkie @pinklazers.bsky.social · 2d

I hate that I thought about that. I hate that the team might be dragged down by those intrusive thoughts as well. Grief is not easy & whereas many people are able to avoid their personal grief by throwing themselves into work, these players do not have that luxury. it's all just very sad

Pinkie @pinklazers.bsky.social · 2d

I'd love to see the actual stats on it, but it certainly feels true that we fall off around that time & don't recover until the 2nd half
I mean, I know that I spent most of 20-45 thinking about the LCFC EFL match in 21 & how Jota dragged us to the win, so who knows what the team was thinking

Pinkie @pinklazers.bsky.social · 2d

I am so patient and understanding about the team on not match days. I want them to grow. It is just hard to watch them grow

Pinkie @pinklazers.bsky.social · 2d

My internet decided to shut down, I guess to protect me from watching the end of this match, but jokes on it. I'll waste data on this shit. I'm great at making terrible decisions

Pinkie @pinklazers.bsky.social · 2d

I can't blame them for giving us corners, it seems the safe thing to do

Pinkie @pinklazers.bsky.social · 2d

That's my problem, I can't see what we are even trying to do. I can tell we aren't doing it, but what is the plan? It doesn't seem obvious

Pinkie @pinklazers.bsky.social · 2d

I can't.

Pinkie @pinklazers.bsky.social · 2d

I know no one deserves a goal, but OMG Gakpo deserves this. For trying.

The report noted Slot did not dispute the 'fucking disgrace' comment

Details of what Slot said to Oliver have now been released by the FA. The commission's report states that as Slot was shaking Oliver's hand on the pitch at the end of the game, he told the referee that he “f***** *g gave them everything" and that he hoped he "was proud of that performance".
The report claims Slot then approached Oliver again around a minute later and said: "If we don't win the league, I'll f*****g blame you," before twice shouting it was “a f***** disgrace" at the assistant referee.
Slot questioned the exact wording in his reply by insisting that he said, "If we don't win the league, I will have you to thank for that,” but accepted the charges. The report noted Slot did not dispute the “f*****g disgrace" comment.

We are just so much better than these, but we are making it look so hard. If we can get a goal and not lose our fucking heads, they aren't going to be able to come back

UL Lafayette making a splash!

I think a fun way to frame this match is to ask how many precious minutes of Michael Jagger's life these 'injuries' and VAR decisions have wasted. Everytime one of these players throw themselves to the ground think- Mick Jagger is watching you do this and he's not going to live forever

Not to give the dumbest people alive more ideas, but I'm intrigued if this administration is going to go full Lost Cause and mandate a federal Confederate Memorial Day

Pinkie @pinklazers.bsky.social · 17d

I genuinely feel like this match would make more sense at 3-3

Pinkie @pinklazers.bsky.social · 17d

Chelsea have bought 50+ players and like 4 new managers since 2020, and for one of those seasons they had a transfer ban! Yet this week I've heard they were forced into competing in the CWC and have had to turn into a 'selling club' to be able to 'financially compete'
GET A SHIRT SPONSOR!!

Pinkie @pinklazers.bsky.social · 17d

Look, I am completely sympathetic to teams like Aston Villa, Newcastle, NF, etc. when they feel backed into a corner & are struggling to keep up financially w LFC, Arsenal, City, etc.

Chelsea thinking they can smuggle themselves into the first group rather than the latter makes me want to set fires

Pinkie @pinklazers.bsky.social · 24d

Sometimes your organization has their events during the exact time that LFC plays Crystal Palace. Cheer on the Reds for me and if you need a Catalpa tree, I know where you can get some

A mess of Catalpa Trees in gallon containers. They look healthy and lovely. Let's all buy native trees

Pinkie @pinklazers.bsky.social · 25d

No, I help out at a local native plant organization and was tickled about why some of the plants had to be put aside
I still may hit you up about the seeds though. Could always use more seeds

Pinkie @pinklazers.bsky.social · 25d

It's great that everyone wants milkweed, but it gets snapped up quick! Every sale we have, we sell out.

But we are doing it for the butterflies anyway, so we just aren't going to sell this group. We don't want people to disturb the caterpillars as they rummage through the plants

Pinkie @pinklazers.bsky.social · 26d

I'm not going to say no, but it'll be a little hard to inventory them for the sale tomorrow lol
We actually have lots of plugs of the swamp milkweed, but the only flat of 4"s we have has caterpillars. it's an oopsie

Pinkie @pinklazers.bsky.social · 26d

Great news! The aquatic milkweed is plentiful and in bloom and still for sale!

This is sort of turning into a GRWM Native Plant Sale Edition

Aquatic Milkweed in 4" pots without any caterpillars or aphids.

Pinkie @pinklazers.bsky.social · 26d

YUM!

Well there's no swamp milkweed for the native plant sale tomorrow, but for a good reason?

Also some aphids, but this is what happens when you don't use pesticides. It's a good thing, annoying but good
