I really hope the US Olympians aren’t actually drinking Starbucks while in Italy. Nothing against Starbucks, but you’re in the coffee capital of the world. Get some Italian coffee!
(These Starbucks commercials during the Olympics just feel so disrespectful to me lol)

Catching up on Olympics Mixed Doubles Curling, watching yesterday’s Canada v Italy. What an incredible throw and turn of events at the finish of the first end. Went from Italy having shot stone to Canada scoring 5 on the throw.

Pokemon Legends ZA comes out tomorrow! So, why not list my favorite Pokémon from Z to A?
Z - Zacian
I love fairy types, and Z doesn’t offer a ton of choices, so Zacian it is (although, my original choice in the games was Shield)

Is there any update on when I get my transgender? How is this going to work, exactly? Have the democrats put out a plan for how they are going to have transgender for everybody? I’m very excited about it, but I just want to understand how it will work and where I need to go to pick up my transgender
Trump: "They want to have transgender for everybody. These people are crazy -- the Democrats. So if it has to shut down, it'll have to shut down. But they're the ones that are shutting down the government."

There will come a time when people look back with embarrassment and fury at the way people and institutions just gave in to the bigotry and transphobia during this time. Future generations will wonder why the hell we didn’t stand up and do more to protect our trans siblings.
Transgender athletes at the University of Pennsylvania will no longer be able to compete for the school’s women’s teams following a new agreement between the university and the U.S. Department of Education.

I went and saw Cake last night (it was awesome). Was right up by the stage, and wow I am so worn out today. How did I used to go see multiple shows in a week back when I was in my twenties?

Movie you’ve watched more than 6 times using gifs. (Hard mode, no SW, ST, or LOTR)
(Although, that doesn’t come close to eliminating movies for me, so still easy mode if we’re being honest, but I’ll go with one of my favorites)

Really going to need Big Finish to wrap up at least the 15 and Rogue story line into a happy ending of some sort (maybe let them travel together for a box set or ten) #DoctorWho

My Doctor Who theory for the finale:
Remember that Poppy showed up in The Story & The Engine and so did the Fugitive Doctor.
Everyone keeps talking about how the 15th somehow has a kid, but I think it is the Fugitive Doctor that is Poppy’s mother, and Poppy regenerates into Susan’s mother.

@marklazerus.bsky.social @scottpowers.bsky.social since the Panthers win means the Bruins get their 27 1st round pick for Marchand, does that lock in their 26 1st round pick for Chicago for the Seth Jones trade?

This season of Doctor Who has been stellar. Every episode has been great.
I do wonder how the Doctor remembered what he did in today’s episode given when it happened, and hope that we get more as to how that happened.

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.
Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.
I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

Gotten to Flux in my 13th Doctor rewatch. I don’t care what others think. The 13th Doctor’s era is epically good. The 2nd season has a few rough spots, but no more than any other Doctor has, but her first season is near perfect and the third has a classic feel. Her specials are all good too.

Watching TCU Women’s Basketball in the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament, wishing my dad were at the game enjoying it too. If he were still alive, he would be in the stands, loving this. Go Frogs

Excited for the TCU Women’s Basketball team. A #2 seed hosting the first 2 rounds of the Women’s NCAA Tournament. Dad was a season tickets holder, had tickets to the Big12 Tournament, and sadly died right before it started. He’d be so excited for this tournament. Go Frogs!

I’m glad this was in Chicago so I could see it today, but it’s a shame that it is almost impossible to see in the US. Even in Chicago it’s only at one theater just this weekend. Everyone in the US should be able to see this movie to better understand the realities of the situation in Palestine.

When I’m having a rough time, I love to come visit my friend Sue and share my problems. They’re a great listener, and over the last 65 million+ years, there isn’t a lot they haven’t seen, so they don’t judge.

Just completely lost. My constant companion for the last 12 years didn’t wake up this morning. Arwen was just the best dog, and life will never be the same.
