The Moment Came, and They Missed It.
When It Mattered, They Laughed.

After quite an eventful night and day of angry responses to my post about the US Men's Team, I wanted to expand on why their actions are impacting people the way they are.
As women, the moment is all too familiar, but that doesn't mean it's not disappointing.

I had a meeting with my dissertation supervisor today, and I was so happy with the outcome!
He told me that I am ready to start writing.
Sooo... deep breathe... and here we go!

This is such a great moment for women in motorsport, and Abbi’s success is a marker for all women.
She’s incredible!

This thread is exactly how I feel.
Arne’s done a lot for the club in ways that I think will gain more understanding in the future. But unfortunately, his departure was likely the best decision for the club and his career.
I’ll always appreciate what he’s done for us.

I'm not at all surprised to see Slot depart (and think it was probably the right move for all concerned), but I also feel for him, given the context of this past season and his tenure as a whole. I believe he'll be looked back on in years to come quite differently to how he's viewed today. #LFC

Yesterday, I turned in the last essay for my last semester of grad school. So, I splurged on these Red Sox tickets as a treat to celebrate and mark the occasion.
Now, all I have left is my Master’s dissertation, and I’ll be done! It has been a roller coaster of a ride, but I’m so proud of myself!

Watching El Clásico, and I realised it was the first time I've seen Trent since he left Liverpool.
Still makes me sad to know he chose *that* team over Liverpool, but we all eventually show who we are.

Do you think Chelsea sends their players to acting classes? Apparently, they're just enough talented to convince the ref of a flop nearly every time.

It's really telling that I can type two full names of
@thepwhl.com teams in #Google on a playoff night and not see an updated score and game summary while it's happening.
Do better, Google. Do better.

Met w/ my dissertation supervisor for the 1st time. After talking about my dissertation, I asked if he liked football (dissertation is focused on football).
He replied he was a big football fan, and it was likely why he was assigned to me. Then, he said it, “I’m a Liverpool fan”.

Tottenham fought hard today but couldn’t get the job done.
I hate that when Danso was the one to make a mistake I knew what would happen to him online.
The racist abuse has already begun.
To blame a draw or loss on one person is ridiculous but even worse if you decide to attack them for it.

Finally made it to my first @bostonfleet.com game in person! What a game! The atmosphere was great.
Nothing quite as great as going to a women’s sports event. The vibes are always immaculate!
Can’t wait to go to another!

Omg. Disney+ is doing an Inside Out-themed animated version of the Washington Caps vs NY Rangers... and it's glorious!

That was a terrible attempt to stop the goal by Marmardashvili. Just minimal effort.
