No, it’s not punitive, yes, it’s due to not playing, and pregnancy doesn’t affect it more or less than anything else. What’s at issue is protected entries and a push from some players to allow new mothers to return at their previous ranking.

We get 2018 and we get redistricting.

Kahlua for breakfast? What a wonderful phrase! Kahlua for breakfast...ain’t no passing craze...

It’s the milkshake that has me concerned.

Happy Friiiiiidaaaay

Preemptively posting a giant FUCK YOU to anyone who criticizes this action.

obviously since it’s your club you get to be the president, but i feel abundantly qualified to be the treasurer

As a teenager, I would definitely have taken dying and/or saving civilization from a dystopian hell over telling my crushes how I felt about them.

I’m finding Pete and the cat-eared Donut Licker’s relationship to be pretty entertaining. Its been a while since we’ve enjoyed a whirl-wind Hollywood romance bound for self-immolation ala Drew Barrymore, Britney, Shannen Doherty, etc (I don’t count anything Kardashian related) ... I feel this is the balm the country…

The press is actually confronting Trump more and more. From the press gaggle on June 15:

I LOVE how much she looks like both her parents. It’s so fun to watch her facial expressions and see them both. Also that video is hilarious. HIDE! DUCK! TAKE COVER!

Counterpoint: this is a great tactic. All he has to do is get a new phone if he’s so bothered by it. If that means he loses half a day of work on being Joseph Goebells reincarnate, that’s a worthy, moral outcome.

I think she looks like Solange.

If anything Congress is the President’s boss.

Fucking awesome, good for her. Just want to note that Donald Trump is not her boss or her boss’s boss, etc... Congress is supposed to be coequal with the Presidency, even if they mostly seem interested in refusing to take responsibility for anything and then posturing when things go wrong (e.g., the constant stream of…

I love all the emotions that ran across Blue’s face, lol. She was smiling, casually enjoying the show, and then “Oh no, nononono.” The look of disgust that a child witnessing a glimpse of her parents’ sexuality can muster is priceless and always hilarious. The best part is her little head popping up to see if the…

If her dining there was a deliberate attempt to forment a reaction (like Pence walking out of that ballgame) then the administration which accuses victims of being crisis actors now has two instances where they themselves were the crisis actor.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot—I think we just don’t know what’s “normal” for sexual orientation and gender identity, because we’ve spent so many generations forcibly preventing people from asking these questions about themselves that it seems rare to us when people refuse to accept the answers that society…

I’ve been on bcp since my early teens for pcos—doctors were enthusiastically changing my natural hormonal balance during a very important part of puberty because of a medical condition. Trans kids basically just get hormonal blockers, a much less serious way of changing hormones, but they’re the ones who are attacked…

I’m a woman and super excited that I just hit my 200lb squat goal about 2 months earlier than expected. I’ve never been athletic or strong my entire life (I’m 31) but since starting strength training seriously about a year and a half ago the improvement has been amazing. It’s great to have an external measure of…
