At long last, I'm finally throwing in the towel on Twitter and converting to Bluesky. Follow me at https://t.co/rSjm75TBPr for what's bound to be a bizarre mix of sports & science posts.

@mtamaryland I truly don’t understand where to find accurate Baltimore light rail info. Both of my work commutes today involved me waiting over 20 minutes for a train at peak rush, while the site & social channels report no delays. This is so infuriating.

[Alyssa Wolice @awolice]

@mtamaryland is the light rail running south of North Ave today? It’s kind of crazy to me how there is literally no signage anywhere, including where and how to catch the shuttles if the train isn’t running

[Alyssa Wolice @awolice]

@MyBGE Are you sure? Because the snow isn’t even here yet and our whole block is without power, with an estimated repair time of midnight. Swell timing with the rate hikes, too.

[Alyssa Wolice @awolice]

@NJTRANSIT Omg will people on this train even get there by halftime? The NE Corridor is such a hot mess.

[Alyssa Wolice @awolice]

@capitalweather Whatever is falling in Baltimore is loud enough as it hits that the sound of it woke me up

Also, for those who don't know him: Andrew somehow staving off norovirus symptoms until moments after the clock ran out in the Lions/Packers game is the most Andrew thing ever.

[Alyssa Wolice @awolice]

True story: About 20 minutes after the game ended, my husband came down with what we're assuming is norovirus. He was violently ill all night, but then this morning called me upstairs (I assumed for help), but it was instead to tell me that he and Skipper are one in the same:

This is where we thrive

Like, should Michigan have celebrated with the flag and tried to plant it? Probably not. Should the half a dozen OSU players then assault the Michigan player with the flag? Uh, I’m gonna say maybe that was the worse move, FOX.

[Alyssa Wolice @awolice]

Okay, FOX saying Michigan is at fault for… celebrating on the field? Why the eff aren’t these teams separated? Biggest rivalry in sports, most insane spread, and you’re blaming this squarely on Michigan?

[Alyssa Wolice @awolice]

@codyboteler Agree 1000000%. What a year!

[Alyssa Wolice @awolice]

And the refs win the championship, yay!!!! #NWSLChampionship

[Alyssa Wolice @awolice]

@codyboteler I realize I’m also just bummed, but the no-call on the PK, calling fouls/yellows on the Spirit but nothing for the same offense on the Pride... Three times in these playoffs the Spirit were nowhere near the ball when it went out & it was returned to the other team 😩

[Alyssa Wolice @awolice]

I’m so incredibly proud of the @WashSpirit & this phenomenal season, despite losing Croix and others.

But omg they had to take on all of the Pride AND the refs in this match. Like what game were the @NWSL refs watching tonight?!

[Alyssa Wolice @awolice]

@jonfeng1 Yeah, I feel like everyone is afraid to criticize the refs because they don’t want to speak negatively of the league. But the number of horrendous calls against the Spirit this postseason is insane.

[Alyssa Wolice @awolice]

Where the eff is the penalty call?!?! OMG REFS WTF #NWSLChampionship

[Alyssa Wolice @awolice]

Wait, so *now* we care about hands to the face? #NWSLChampionship

[Alyssa Wolice @awolice]

I love this whole crew & I’m glad this match is on CBS but like.. does anyone have notes on any players other than Marta and Banda? #NWSLChampionship

[Alyssa Wolice @awolice]

WHY ARE THE REFS ALWAYS WORKING AGAINST THE SPIRIT WHAT THE HELL #NWSLChampionship

[Alyssa Wolice @awolice]

Really feeling like it’s Spirit vs Everybody again.
