My unasked for opinion is that players in the French or Spanish leagues shouldn't even be considered for a Ballon given how much their club play is just romping over other teams. If the majority of your league isn't competing for a playoff position within a five year window, get out of here.

It's honestly so disrespectful that she's ranked so low. Fuck the Ballon, for real.

Reign always, but I have a great respect for how Thorns fans don't fuck around about queer people.

Some hateful folks in the North End have their messaging blocked by flags and lead to a “Trans Lives Matter” chant

My favorite thing is sending grocery/clothing/supply orders to community members who post on FB groups needing help. We're not rich, but we do have the capacity to send a couple hundred dollars to others on occasion. Why do actual rich people not do this??? Fuckers.

I've been threatening to quit at every minor inconvenience lately. We could probably survive on just my wife's salary. Except then we wouldn't get to do these random blasts of spreading money and that would make me sad😂

We've never done a meat share before because we just don't eat enough meat to justify it. I'd guess 75% of our meals are meat-free. But a local (ish) farm I've been eyeing had a smaller sausage option this year that I jumped on. I'm so fucking pleased.

Hemlo friends. I would like to try and do a quick Disney trip with our 5 and 6 year old this spring. I went for a quick day a few years ago as an aside to a conference, but have never planned a Disney specific trip. Any tips? Especially for navigating with autism/sensory processing fun.

Current plan involves using SNA, staying close so we can do mid-day breaks, bringing both a stroller and a back carrier. Planning for days that aren't major spring break dates. What am I not thinking about because you don't know what you don't know?

I do not want to homeschool any of our children, but their disabilities mean it may make sense at some point. So, I've looked into what that would require, and the answer is astonishingly little.

Coalition for Responsible Home Education@responsiblehs.bsky.social

We'd like to introduce homeschooling to the conversation, @propublica.org- it's really easy over here, too. Only 4 states require a high school diploma, and in 11 states, you never need to notify anyone about your intention to homeschool. We need to #makehomeschoolsafe, and private schools too.

propublica.orgAlmost Anyone Can Start a Private School. We Put This to the Test.Our reporting has shown how easily people — some with questionable backgrounds — have founded their own private schools in barns, strip malls and other places. That led us to an experiment: If the hur...

I have a whole ass PhD and still wouldn't feel prepared as-is to effectively teach a child. I think I need to change my mantra from "have the confidence of a mediocre white man" to "have the confidence of a mediocre conservative home school mom"

And let's be clear here. I have a national teaching award in my field. I am a pretty damn good teacher...for adults. And still would feel completely inept with children.

The below freezing nights hit worse every year for the knee pain. I'm sure I should do something about it, but then I'd have to deal with the American healthcare system and that feels like a bad idea.

The concept of land ownership is ridiculous anyway.

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

politico.comDo You Really Own Your Home? A Tax Revolt Says No.The argument that property taxes make Americans renters in their own houses has fueled the biggest anti-tax uprising in half a century, and local governments are scrambling.

I'm baffled by how ACFC has the roster that it does and is in the same (approximately) situation as the Reign. Let's be clear, those are my #1 and #2 teams, so I'm not asking from a hater position. Just...confused.

And those babies already had to fight so hard to get care. I know it because I've lived it. This is so cruel.

Rather than cover the cost of gender affirming care for trans youth under medicaid, Colorado is voluntarily enacting the republican "taper and detransition" policy for youth on medicaid and dropping coverage. WTF.

One of reasons finance bros like Bessent hate Warren is misogyny of course but Also the fact that she knows their language and how the sausage is made in the financial world and routinely humiliates them publicly
