Lots of new people following me, so… Hi! I’m an independent women’s basketball journalist, proudly Brazilian, who has been covering the league for about 15 years. Currently, you can find my work on Forbes, @BlackRosieMedia and Beta Basket. I took the offseason to rest for personal reasons and will slow down on writing this season for the same reasons, but I will be very active on multimedia platforms. You can also find me on local TV in Seattle as a guest in shows.

Situationship just told me she’ll be at the Storm game tonight so now I’m gonna have to choose a whole other outfit. I was all ready to leave 😩

That’s the most well-behaved corgi I’ve ever seen. My corgi would be barking non-stop and trying to jump. As would every other corgi I’ve met.

The legend @air_corg was out here at the Spurs prep rally!

@lavendercxr @ezimagbegoat 6-8 weeks from 4/20

[Roberta 🏳️‍🌈 @robertawbb]

No updates but the initial timeline regarding Ezi Magbegor, Storm PR confirmed. Her injury was announced April 20, which means she could be back by the end of the next week.

Fui dar uma de superior e engraçadinha pra minha psicóloga enquanto falava de uma ficante e uma conversante e soltei um “mulher é difícil viu”. Ela simplesmente me respondeu: “só não esquece que você também é”.

It used to be “Becky coming, Becky coming” to stop dancing on the bench and now Becky is watching right in front of her and the dancing continues… on the court. A’ja Wilson really rules this league.

i keep finding more reasons to luv her.

@nylibertybr @folkheroic Só queria dizer que veio gringo me perguntar da fan base do Liberty no Brasil por causa do seu perfil @nylibertybr

[Roberta 🏳️‍🌈 @robertawbb]

Crazy that I’m watching this episode at this exact moment and I still have the same feelings from the first time I did. Fuck Walder Frey. The Stark revenge brought by Arya was amazing but nothing will help me get over Robb and Talisa’s death.

‘The Rains of Castamere’ premiered 13 years ago today on ‘GAME OF THRONES.’

That’s like The Avengers of women’s basketball journalism

Statement from PBWA WNBA Chapter board: Howard Megdal, Kareem Copeland, Alexa Phillipou, Cassandra Negley and Sabreena Merchant to @FOS on Scott Agness/Fever credential situation:

Anyways it’s 80 degrees in Seattle and I wore a W inspired fit to lift my deadlift 1RM AND considerably increased my burpee speed. Summer, I’m ready for you.

[Roberta 🏳️‍🌈 @robertawbb]

@ezimagbegoat I believe that is a fair assumption since she’s still ruled out and rules states that if falling back on one of the return to play tests players go back to the beginning until fully completing them.

[Roberta 🏳️‍🌈 @robertawbb]

The WNBA follows the same Concussion Policy as the NBA. It dictates that a player must be monitored 24 hours while showing symptoms and the return to play is dependent upon team doctor and league Director of Concussion Protocol clearance. It does not explicitly limit player travel with the team, but it says that the player should limit exposure to large groups of people until cleared by medical staff.

[Roberta 🏳️‍🌈 @robertawbb]

Dominique Malonga return to play is a day to day decision based on concussion protocol, Storm PR confirmed to me.

Dominique Malonga OUT for tomorrow.

[Roberta 🏳️‍🌈 @robertawbb]

Not the best game to relive but an important one to have a conversation around. Here are my thoughts on the Storm’s loss against the Wings. Of course, I’ll be at CPA tomorrow as they face the Mercury, as well as discussing the season ahead of that matchup with @AaronLevine_ on @fox13seattle for Washington Sports Wrap. Also, @elindsay08 and I have our regularly schedule @BlackRosieMedia’s Tempestade Talk at 6:30 p.m. PT Thursday. Set your notifications: https://t.co/QS1iF9Dufr

My therapist is back tomorrow. How do I tell her that while she was away I got into three twitter fights, went on a 2nd date with someone I have 0 feelings for and already scheduled a 3rd, and started taking again to the emotionally unavailable woman that makes me feel confused?
