She/her. Brooklyn based/Jersey born. Mostly here to lurk with the occasional post about my dog or soccer, perhaps a travel photo here and there. #GothamFC #GlasgowCeltic #woso 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪
A rather gruesome discovery when unpacking the Christmas ornaments this year.

Fear not, Betty Rubbles’ severed head (now there’s a phrase I sincerely never thought I’d ever write) has been reinstated. I, on the other hand, am admittedly still scarred.

Spotify suggested that I’m 74 years old. Granted, there’s a fair amount of Joni Mitchell in the mix but I think the culprit is the ambient “Calm My Dog” station we put on for Coco (pictured) when we leave the house. In reverse dog years that makes me about 11, I guess? #SpotifyWrapped #DogsofBluesky

I don't know that I know why exactly #GothamFC was scream singing "Feliz Navidad" post victory but that matters not. It was glorious and I'm watching it and all the celebrations on repeat.
Go Bats!! #NWSL

Gotham FC with the upset extra time win in KC to advance to the semis!

Hours later and I’m still stunned that Gotham FC made it through. They toppled the giant! I was hoping against hope for an upset this weekend and man, did they provide. But what a roller coaster. That familiar heartbreak of them conceding a stoppage time goal and then the elation of the game winner.

I'm not the praying type (unless you count the "Jesus Christ, Freida!" I just uttered when reading this update) but I will dust off my long-dormant skills for Dolly Parton. She exemplifies all that is good and kind and we need that more than ever.

Perfectly put. What a loss! I will be reading every tribute to him for the foreseeable future. RIP Robert Redford.
What Robert Redford contributed to American films via Sundance is genuinely immeasurable. He was also an extraordinarily talented director--Ordinary People and Quiz Show are two of the best American studio movies of their eras--and an actor who somehow wore his incredible charisma almost shyly. RIP.

Well now that that’s sorted, I’ll be rooting for utter mayhem in the rest of this weekend’s matches. #GothamFC #NWSL
Full time: Gotham FC ride past the Wave and pick up 3 points

This one really hurts!!
We as #GothamFC fans are really going to miss Nealy Martin.

Especially @jennatonelli.bsky.social.

“Bless me Father for I have sinned. It’s been… um.. 30 years since my last confession?

I laughed out loud at many Rudy Giuliani skeets. Like, really laughed out loud. Guffawed may be more accurate actually.

For these and all my sins, I’m really not all that sorry. Fuck this guy. Seriously. Amen.”
Due to a booking error Rudy Giuliani has been laid to rest in the parking lot at Woodlawn Mulch & Chip Depot

Happy Cursing Out Operoo/Konstella/Other School Apps Season to all who celebrate. I refrained from typing "Fuck off" in an AI chat that I kept accidentally launching because the button kept covering the Save button. I shouldn't be proud of my restraint here, but small victories and all that.

Not to toot my own horn but I didn't need an FDA warning to avoid shrimp from Walmart.

FDA warns public not to eat possibly radioactive shrimp sold at Walmart
The FDA is warning the public not to eat, sell or serve certain Great Value raw frozen shrimp sold at Walmart due to possible contamination with Cesium-137.

This really resonates.
Younger generations have many advantages over their elders, but they will never know the exquisitely agonizing thrill of watching all three hours of a blockbuster movie edited for TV on a Sunday night even though they have a final exam the next day and haven't even THOUGHT about studying.

Every year I watch "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street" and marvel at the accurate portrayal of 1970s NYC, particularly the subway in that episode. So much detail! Wish this article plumbed the depths a bit more, but it still sparked great memories and visuals for me. Gift article: tinyurl.com/u2cju2b9

It would be selfish of me to not share Coco spooning her lion stuffy. However, I’d be remiss if I didn’t also share that the lion has no face as Coco has chewed if off completely. It’s a complicated love.

I’m officially grumpy with this result. No further comment other than congrats Jess Carter and love you Esther! #GothamFc
Extra time = bonus time!!! (when it’s not my usual team on the pitch). That said, ¡Vamos España!
