I thought I liked this story by @conniewang — but when I started crying at the part where all the Connies meet their namesake Connie Chung at the story’s photo shoot, I realized I LOVED it 😭 THE PHOTOGRAPHER WAS ALSO NAMED CONNIE!!! I’M SCREAMING https://t.co/L68uEK4DHD
"Every piece of data you look at would have told you demand for the Women’s World Cup would be extremely high, but many men make decisions about women’s sports based on their feelings, not facts"
The fact that FIFA would, in the year 2022, claim to be "caught off guard" by the demand for Women's World Cup tickets tells you basically everything you need to know

@annehelen Shopping: in person or online, bargain-hunting and retail arbitrage. Some people make it a sport, keeping track of TJMaxx delivery days, which week/days of the month online markdowns hit, etc. Not just clothing/accessories, either--incl. home goods, decor, kitchen, linens, etc.
