iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Gaceta de la LNP @lnpgaceta.org · 24/06/2026

Your #MascotBowl V champion, who gained their 19th vote just thirty minutes before the end of closing and managed to hold onto the lead, bravely fending off tusks and hammerblows— The power of Christ compelled it! It's the ✝️ #SantosADJ's Aureovina!

A square post on the red-and-blue lightning background I've been using for the Mascot Bowl showing that the champion is Aureovina, the saintly white sheep with its purple-and-green wings and its gold halo with purple and green triangles. Its name, "Aureovina," is in a green Old English-style font like the one its team, the Santos de Adjuntas, uses.

We're doing a special thing for the final round of the Mascot Bowl: Liga Betances' purple elephant Paquidermazo is at 13 votes, versus Liga Hostos' saintly sheep Aureovina, which is at 10.

The last two contestants of Mascot Bowl V stand against each other in the final round: Liga Betances' purple elephant Paquidermazo, and Liga Hostos' saintly sheep Aureovina.

Our #Pride fundraiser continues! Almost $220 for @translifeline.org, entirely from you wonderful souls. Let's keep raising those numbers. If you got your shirt already, why not show it off? You might get to see the ones we got at La Central later today. 👀 lnpgaceta.threadless.com/collections/...

An update on the Pride fundraiser the LNP is doing, in which 100% of proceeds go to Trans Lifeline:

Orders have generated $124 in proceeds, which does not include any donations from Threadless because they are notoriously mysterious about that stuff. (Yes, we should probably find a different vendor. Take it up with Luis.)

19 unique orders means that our matching funds go up to $95, which means the total raised is $219.

Remember: - ALL proceeds go to Trans Lifeline. - Threadless throws in some small extra to reward you for doing good. - We of the LNP will match $5 per order during June and July. - You get a cool, high-quality T-shirt/longsleeve/hoodie/sticker/print/pillow/notebook/phone case/whatever you want!

Literally an hour after we released this article, 🇯🇲 Everton Stack jumped the pitching order and shut out the ⛪ Arzobispos de Aguada for the first time on 17 strikeouts, thereby ruining both of his parts of this article. Ah, baseball, you're too wonderful for anyone to realize you.
