The true winner is me because I get to look at my sports crushes even more now so I will be unbearable for a little while longer

It's been almost a full day and I'm still thinking about this picture
A picture of Alyssa Thomas and Dewanna Bonner. It might be the most intimate public picture I've ever seen in my life. Looking at it has somehow made me a bigger lesbian than I already am.

And this is why we double check things, my friends
A now deleted post from the Aces. The text above the image reads "The M'VP has the 4th most rebounds in playoff history!"
However the text on the image reads "The most blocks of all time"

I think the thing that irks me the most about this statement (other than the stupid art/artist comment) is that it really makes it seem like Stewie doesn't understand the magnitude of what's going on.
Stewie responds to a comment about her doing something for the trans community. TLDR: she separates the art from the artist and donated money to the Trevor Project

Also I know this is saying 1 foul and the record of 12-20, but I keep cracking myself up thinking it says 112 fouls
A picture of the graphic from the PHX/CON game. The way the text is aligned makes it seem like Phoenix has 112 fouls.

Anyways, rooting for these two and fuck transphobes.

There's so much discourse happening about stuff lately and i'm just over here like
The holy shit two cakes meme.

Reposting with alt text because for whatever reason, people keep making block text all caps
"Last night, WNBA leadership and members of the WNBPA Executive Committee and Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) Committee met for an honest and meaningful conversation about the recent increase in racist, hateful, and abusive messages directed at players, as well as other matters before the committees.
The conversation underscored the importance of addressing issues early through proactive communication and strengthening the league-union relationship. The league committed to continuing to enhance security resources and will work with the players' union to explore collaborations with organizations that share the values of our league and advance our shared priorities.
Yesterday's discussion marked the beginning of an ongoing dialouge, and we are united in our commitment to building on this work together."

No matter what happens this season I'll at least always have this moment, so I guess I gotta hold onto that
A picture from earlier in the season where Mack hit a tying basket. AT is hugging her from the side, a wide smile on her face. You can't see Mack's face, but her body language shows legitimate joy.

Rare occasion where it's actually funnier with context
The same picture of Kah, only this time it shows she was pleased as punch about beating DT in the '21 Finals.
The bottom image shows her pestering DT, who looks mildly irritated by it.

Also since the broadcast is giving her flowers, do we think anyone will ever break Catchings' record?

This should have been the end of that man being in the league. And now he's on a team that spent all of last season talking about having a better locker room vibe.
An important part of this statement:
"Adult victim of physical abuse by male partner; assault by strangulation, brain concussion; closed fracture of nasal bone; contusion of rib; multiple bruises; strain of neck muscle."

This is absolutely disgusting.
A report from ESPN. It reads: "The Charlotte Hornets are trading Miles Bridges, a 2029 first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick to the Phoenix Suns for Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale and a 2033 first-round pick, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania."

Also treated her to way better seats than my usual season tickets and if I wasn't already gay, seeing AT's arms up close might have awakened something in me.

Anyways instead of lingering on how much I hate that one team, I'm choosing to focus on this grilled cheese I made earlier that was amazing.
A picture of a grilled cheese sandwich. It was a gouda, bacon, and apple sandwich on rosemary country bread. There's a nice golden color on the bread. You can tell it's fancy because it's on a McDonald's Hercules plate.
It fucking slapped and my cooking abilities are wasted on me being single.

Whenever I point out that men ruin women's sports communities by inserting themselves where they aren't wanted, I want it to be clear I'm talking about shit like this.
A picture from the Phoenix Mercury. It shows a happy AT hugging Natasha Mack after she hit a key shot towards the end of regulation.Comments underneath that same fucking picture. They are all by people who deserve to have dozens of papercuts dragged across their ballsacks because God forbid there be joy in a fucking basketball game.
The comments range from hoping players die to calling them sluts.

A meme format of geordi la forge. The first image is him holding his hand out and the text next to him reads "address the actual problems the Merc seem to not want to acknowledge"
The second image has him pointing his finger in approval and the text next to him reads "blame the bad performance of the team on the rancid vibes the terrible new logo brought"

Like if I had to swap these out every off-season I'd be mildly annoyed.
