no americans for the booker is maybe my most conservatively held opinion

Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 28/07/2026
i like the booker list, despite there being too many americans on it (again/always). i want that new chloe aridjis!

fellas, is it gay to say this plodding 3-hour movie about swords was Bad, etc.

i think the wildest thing about the entire lrb / odyssey situation is that there are genuinely *that* many people who believe the film was good

Feel like if Spain scores three more goals they might get to keep one

this game is just as long and bad as “the odyssey.”

I wrote about Kerri Greenidge because the vague-accusation-to-career-ending-punishment math isn’t mathing. Show us the work. substack.com/home/post/p-...

The Scandal and the Scale
I was bleary-eyed on a delayed flight when I spotted a New York Times article about Kerri Greenidge, a historian of Black political life and memory.

if your team just fouls a lot, i won’t root for you! i don’t think it’s an honorable way to play ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ah! now i understand the comments about him. thank you!

feel free to yell at me! 😂 as a casual observer, i do think england are playing poorly

Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 11/07/2026
i enjoy world cup a normal amount, but i don’t understand why everyone hates england & is cheering for norway (a team that seems very invested in shoving people)

another poorly officiated match! we also played pretty bad! you hate to see it!
010
Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
everyone on that team is running around like chickens and then the defense is like…walking. make it make sense
000
Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
oh my god, this poor goalie
100
Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
so many fouls, my god
000
Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
they are still playing like shit, but those two good shots on goal seem to have given them some confidence back, which is good
000
Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
nice to see the refs remember what a foul looks like
000
Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
in all seriousness, i think if they settle down & play ball, something good could happen. & also if the belgians stop blatantly fouling every other play

the men’s team was so bad for so long (while the women’s team was awesome) so i do not know a single one of these players lol

this game is reminding me of the perils of being a midfielder

Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 06/07/2026
my favorite part of that game was the shot of javier bardem

Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 06/07/2026
i mean…same lol

NO BUT WE HAVE TO RUN HIM, THERE IS NO ONE ELSE

they are somehow always saying anyone who criticizes said champion is shrill and/or exaggerating and/or divisive

Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 06/07/2026
(i played all through middle & high school. i was bad, but i can still hear my coach yelling, ‘rip it!’ whenever i watch games)
000
Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 06/07/2026
i like that the MO for both of these teams just seems to be rip it on goal. way more fun to watch than defensive triangle shenanigans

Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 06/07/2026
i am happy that mexico gets the juice from playing at home. that’s gotta be fun

what does a book where the story is in service of the language read like, i wonder

Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 05/07/2026
i love mbappe! i had to look up his age because he’s been playing forever…he’s not yet 30, which is wild

Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 05/07/2026
i do not care for that type of bullshit in soccer, which i consider a gentleman’s game lol

Kristen Evans @paperalphabet.bsky.social · 05/07/2026
did that player swing on himself? that was NUTS

why is the democratic party also fighting for…not even the status quo, but the regressive vision that the republican party has wrought. like, they are not even trying to get back to where we were five years ago. and they’re mad at the progressive wing? a joke.
