hovering way before your group is called to board the plane is the same energy as standing up as soon as the plane lands

@drallamnadroj and we pray for those with sexually transmitted anything to heal and feel better soon

in case anyone was wondering, this is a corporate eff you

Caitlin Clark is good for women’s basketball.

South Carolina winning the championship is good for women’s basketball.

Excellence across players and teams is good for women’s sports.

ALL of these ladies/teams are changing the way people will forever consume women’s sports.

[Madi Fires @MadiFires]

I disagree that you can’t call women “females” but ONLY as an exception. Like, if you interrupt, run your meeting like a dictatorship, and only ever put other women down, you are for surrreee a female. And I will call you as such.

The MySpace top friends feature is still conceptually alive and well - but it’s pinned friends from your contact list.

Unkind? Unpinned.
Friendship growing? Budding to a pin.
You lied to me? Truly unpinned.
Relationship potential? Love on top of the pinned list.

All I’ve got to say is father fires 😂

[Madi Fires @MadiFires]

no cause why did my mom just send this to me and my sister 😭😂

[Madi Fires @MadiFires]

@insanelysjc I really appreciate the respectful back and forth. We can agree to disagree, & we can also agree that these teams are full of great athletes. And while the debacle does not reflect their character, passion/care for their sport and their teams exude all else & that’s cool to see

[Madi Fires @MadiFires]

There is 0 doubt in my mind that Flau’jae Johnson deserved that push. Kamilla Cardoso was standing up for her teammates. And while we want to always try to deescalate when possible (which is exactly what #12 did by non responding to pulled jersey and what number #2 did by

[Madi Fires @MadiFires]

@insanelysjc Watkins was clearly celebrating the earned foul to walk towards her team. I disagree wholeheartedly that Flau’jae’s shove isn’t considered escalation. Whether that’s in the rule book or not, that’s definitely what threw the rest into motion.

[Madi Fires @MadiFires]

@insanelysjc but we can’t forget Flau’jae escalated the whole thing by initiating contact in the first place with a shove after play was over. I think Kamilla saw her team getting pushed around and was not gonna allow that. The same way LSU players would not allow that if the reverse occurred

[Madi Fires @MadiFires]

@insanelysjc I do see a point there AND
I think it’s a situation that could have.
Not arguing against #10 getting ejected, I just think they both should have been ejected if ejection was the correct course of action.

[Madi Fires @MadiFires]

@insanelysjc Could be - transparently I did not see the full game. But to your point, Hailey Van Lith made contact with Kamilla too after the fast break. No ejection on her? Not as shocking, but contact nonetheless.

[Madi Fires @MadiFires]

@insanelysjc and this is when reading the situation should supersede the rule book

[Madi Fires @MadiFires]

But maybe you are more on the line of “I’d really like to make my own choices w/ MY money and it doesn’t really make sense about them intervening on decisions like that.” Same!

Kinda like when the government intervenes w/ dry counties, LGBTQ+ rights, and abortion clinics.

[Madi Fires @MadiFires]

Ok so the government taxes your employer on the money your employer pays you. You get taxed on the money you earn. You get taxed on the money you spend. The places you spend your money at get taxed for accruing that money. And that turns cyclical for the lifetime of that dollar

[Madi Fires @MadiFires]

which probs makes you wonder y they should have any say about what you opt in/out of so long as its not a detriment to those around you.
And hey, maybe that’s your thing & you think SS is a great program & funds will still be there by the time you retire. Kudos to the optimists!

[Madi Fires @MadiFires]

and we are STILL in debt?

so now your pissed ab gov intervention. You probably think “why should the gov be involved with money I have EARNED.”That probably escalates to a train of thought about forced participation in gov funded programs vs being able to opt in/out (I.e., SS)

[Madi Fires @MadiFires]

can we please normalize that toxic relationships exist EVERYWHERE.
You can have toxic friends, toxic workplaces, toxic family members. And one should not be more acceptable just because it falls in one of those categories.
