For whatever reason, my phone hates this app and it closes every few minutes. I lose patience quickly.

I know a lot of people have very valid reasons for not being excited. But my 13 year old was close to tears last night with how happy he is to see his team in the final round for the first time in his life. And that’s all that matters.

"Tonight, Virginia voters chose to fight back against Trump's effort to rig congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms." - Virginians for Fair Elections bluevirginia.us/2026/04/live...

STATEMENT: VIRGINIANS VOTE YES, RESHAPE THE FIGHT FOR THE U.S. HOUSE

Richmond, Va. — Virginians for Fair Elections Campaign Manager Kéren Charles Dongo released the following statement after voters approved the redistricting referendum:

"Tonight, Virginia voters chose to fight back against Trump's effort to rig congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms.

In a special election with a single question and no statewide candidates on the ballot, millions of Virginians showed up — at levels that rival a general election — to defend fair representation. That is a remarkable statement about what was at stake.

The impact is immediate. The new maps, passed by the General Assembly and signed by Governor Spanberger, will now be in effect. At a moment when Donald Trump directed Republican legislatures across the country to redraw their maps to lock in a House majority before voters had their say, Virginia just changed the battlefield. The path to retaking the U.S. House of Representatives is fundamentally different tonight because Virginians chose to act.

This campaign was built in just five months — overcoming nearly $40 million spent on spreading MAGA lies and misinformation to confuse voters, navigating unprecedented legal challenges to stop Virginians from having a say, and asking voters to grapple with a complex issue for our democracy. But in the end, voters cut through the noise, made their voices heard, and voted YES.

We are deeply grateful to every Virginian who voted, volunteered, donated, and stood up in this moment. Tonight belongs to them."

There are only 2 other local teams in our age bracket, it’s for state games so just meant to be fun. But I live an hour away from the Wake Forest rink and all of our games are there.

Me: a local tournament, just for fun, cool. No stress. Tournament organizers: how about the worst schedule possible at the one “local” rink the farthest from your house?

Conversation synopsis: Original post: why aren’t more kids goalies. Me: it’s expensive. $1,500 for leg pads Random people: buy used, your kid isn’t going to the NHL, stop getting your nails done and you could afford it, etc.

Remains insane to me that in Iraq — in an active war — when encountering a potential hostile vehicle, we're told to wave/yell, use lights, fire warning shots at tires-engine-windshield last resort. But in Minnesota you just shoot into the driver window of a mom with your partner in the field of fire

I don’t need to *keep* watching it. It’s important to see. But the constant-ness of the videos being shared is where I have to stop.

Logging off the internet because while I appreciate and feel the outrage, I need to stop seeing the video.

I do appreciate that the alumni game is online and I don’t have to risk going outside for the approximately 47 snowflakes that have fallen and caused 2 days of school closures

As we all know in the business world, if someone tells you something is happening in mid December it is absolutely not getting done.

Deb @deborahm.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

Ok… enough already… where is the snow? Not a single snowflake and I’d be leaving now to pick the kid up from school

I’m sure they are happy to be able to do it, but I get it.

I don’t ask for help, but my son needs a very expensive and urgent surgery. Duncan was seen for surgery to remove some Mast Cell Tumors. One of the spots was on his paw. He did not heal properly and now needs a skin graft on his paw. Anything helps! 💜 www.gofundme.com/f/help-dunca...

5:15 practice at a rink that is an hour away means I have to leave by 2:30 to pick him up from school and leave from there. Then I have to finish work in the evenings to make up for it.

Is “my mom doesn’t want to take me” a valid reason for a kid to miss practice? Asking for a friend (my kid) 🥱

This one is a bit more “insult to injury” since winning this one qualifies you for a national tournament
