Well, fuck. Someone just told me that there was an update to their website yesterday and games will be broadcast on ESPN Select. So NEVER MIND I GUESS. Good for them getting the money I guess but god damn I hate capitalism.

We’re excited to officially announce the broadcast distributors for the highly anticipated 2026 WPBL Inaugural Season! ESPN will serve as the U.S. distributor for all regular season and playoff games. Complementing ESPN, the Scripps Sports Network will broadcast a select slate of regular season games. Internationally, the games will be broadcast on YouTube for baseball fans living outside the US. Internationally, games will be streamed on YouTube for baseball fans outside of the USA.

“Securing powerhouse broadcast distributors like ESPN and the Scripps Sports Network for our inaugural season is a monumental milestone for the Women’s Pro Baseball League,” said Keith Stein, CEO of the WPBL. “This hybrid distribution model combines the digital reach of ESPN with the broad accessibility of the Scripps Sports Network. We are thrilled to bring the energy, talent, and excitement of professional women’s baseball into the homes of sports fans everywhere.”

Summary: Jiang Cheng was cute, if you liked the whole whiny pissbaby vibe. Mostly he was a walking migraine, and Wen Qing couldn’t look at him without imagining slapping duct tape over his mouth so he’d shut the fuck up.

Or: Wen Qing can't stand her roommate's little brother. But she also can't stop fucking him.

This poem hit especially hard.

We can't be expected to use headlights when we drive forever

They're inconvenient and make my eyes hurt

I've been driving for years without them, and I haven't killed anything

Well, I don't know that for sure

I hit a few things in the night, but nobody told me they died

And it doesn't matter that much anyway

They're animals

The chances of me killing an actual human are much lower!

They probably had pre-existing conditions too - I saw one of them limping across the road

I can't be held responsible for that - surely?

And it's not like headlights protect me from danger either

You can't expect me to go out of my way just to make sure someone else doesn't get themselves hit

I'm always responsible when I cross the road

I look both ways

A car would never hit me... would it?

I can't remember who set up the Redbubble shop selling these aprons but thank you bc putting it on always makes me smile, even when I'm getting ready to do dishes

An apron with the silhouette of the saber Baxia from the TV show The Untamed on the chest. In bold, white, all-capital letters over the top of the blade is written "Qinghe Quality Meats"

He's really incredible. I love showing him off, so have a pic with me for scale:

A woman with black and gray hair, wearing black and gray clothes, slips halfway out of a crevice in a giant cottonwood tree.

I love my boyfriend in the back yard 🧡🌳🧡

An enormous cottonwood tree. A long, wide crack runs the length of the trunk all the way to the windy branches in full summer leaf.

We don't usually see each other's headers. Here's mine.

A white woman's hands, wearing black fingerless gloves, are splayed on either side of a large crack in a tree. Her fingers are spread out over the rough bark and a part of the interior of the tree is visible between her hands.

They say they often feel like they have to question their reality when their friends claim to care about them, but continue to gather unsafely. For other sick and disabled queers across the globe, the concensus among us seems to be that seeing our community gather unsafely makes us feel Really Bad.

“I feel completely abandoned and betrayed,” says Gaby Sanchez, a South African queer disabled writer and disability justice activist. They say it’s a sentiment that was also shared by others based around the world that they heard speak at the November Sick-In-Quarters Hideaway event, a virtual pandemic support gathering for high risk people.

Sanchez says that seeing a lot of queer people gather unsafely, some even before regulations were lifted, and the defensive way organizers dismissed their safety concerns, made them realize how toxic and unsafe their local LGBTQ2S+ community is for them.

This looks very cool and from what I can tell, online participation is free. The Diaspora Child Strikes Back: Transnational Desires and Childhoods of Empire June 11–13, Rutgers University–Camden childhood.camden.rutgers.edu/conference20...

A Reimagined Conference Experience

This is not your traditional academic conference. As academics who are impacted by the systems we are interrogating, we stepped away from the normative conference design that emphasizes sharing academic output. Instead, we will co-convene a space that imagines how our field changes when junior colleagues are supported and underrepresented dialogues happen across borders.

Designed with care, accessibility, and collaboration at its center, this gathering creates space for:

Interdisciplinary dialogue across the humanities and social sciences
Public-facing scholarship that connects research to lived experience
Creative and critical engagement with literature, history, education, and cultural production
Global perspectives on diasporic childhoods across time and place

Across three days, participants will engage with keynote conversations, book talks, research panels, and collaborative discussions that foreground the voices and experiences of diasporic children and youth.

Centering Mentorship and Emerging Scholars

At the heart of this conference is a deep commitment to mentorship and support for emerging scholars—especially those supporting, studying and working with diasporic youth and networks

The program includes:

Dedicated mentorship sessions with leading scholars and practitioners including Jillian Baez (Child and Youth-Centered Media Studies), Kiana Gonzalez-Cedeno (Digital Childhood Studies), and Dr. Edwin Mayorga (Community-Engaged Research with Youth)
Opportunities for graduate students and early-career researchers to present work and receive feedback
Conversations on publishing, community-engaged research, and public scholarship
Spaces designed to foster connection, guidance, and long-term collaboration

We recognize that knowledge is not only produced in panels, but also through relationships, care, and shared intellectual work.

Got a reminder about the anti ICE/community solidarity training I'm attending today and literally burst into tears when I saw this at the bottom of the email

We will ask all community members attending this training to begin the solidarity work of making this training accessible by wearing a mask during the training.

Ooo that IS neat! Also I'm feeling a lil' smug that I looked up the coordinates for LFK (38° N, 95° W) then clicked on the map about where I thought LFK was and:

Excellent essay from labor-knowledgeable and labor-intensive artist Tabitha Arnold on community action and how calling things something they're not undermines effective resistance tabithaarnold.substack.com/p/a-strike-i...

I don’t argue to discourage anyone from taking action, however disorganized, spotty, or trivial that action might be. In a moment of gut-wrenching collective weakness against the unspeakable violence carried out by ICE, I don’t blame anyone for reposting an infographic or slowing down at work. It’s simply not worth the energy to go after well-intentioned members of my own community.

What I do want to scream is that a strike is not a spell. A small business cannot strike. A single worker cannot call a strike. Nor can a union president, a politician, a celebrity, say the magic word and have it be so.

A boycott is not a strike. Shopping small is not a strike. Working slow is not a strike. Elite capture is a system of appropriating and watering down radical language as a way of disempowering a movement. Don’t let them take this word from us. Don’t let them dull down the incredible power of workers going on strike, forcing the gears of capitalist wealth production to a grinding halt. Don’t let them lie to you about how a strike happens: the many hours of organizing to build trust and capacity among a group of workers, and the collective decision that leads to that green light.

If you’re feeling powerless today, please talk to your coworkers. Maybe one day soon there will be rumblings of a general strike in your city. If you have a union by then, or even a game plan you came up with together in Dan the Line Cook’s living room, you’re already more powerful than a thousand social media infographics could ever be.

I miss that era of Angelina, ngl

Photo of 90s/early aughts fuckboi era Angelina Jolie. Her short hair is slicked back in a pompadour and she's squinting at the camera, open-mouthed with her tongue tip touching her upper lip. One hand holds a bottle of liquor in front of her crotch like a dick. The other hand holds a cigarette butt like she's getting ready to flick it away. Of particular note is the A-line white shirt she's wearing, stretched across her perfect breasts. The fabric is thin enough that you can clearly see the outline of her nipples. It's hiked up enough to see a good strip of her blly and the tattoo right above the waistline of her pants that says in Latin "quod me netrit me destruit" (translated "what nourishes me destroys me"). She's in a seedy looking hotel room and the whole thing is incandescently hot.

Good to see evidence that focusing on anything, even stuff I want to do and enjoy, is difficult, frustrating, and just as exhausting as physically-demanding activities.

“The task, called a Stroop task, was displayed to the participants on a screen during the scan, and required participants to ignore conflicting information and focus on the correct response, which places high demands on the brain’s executive function and inhibitory control,” Ms Inderyas said.

“The set up allowed us to precisely measure which areas of the brain were activated while the patient was performing a mentally demanding task.

“The scans show changes in the brain regions which may contribute to cognitive difficulties such as memory problems, difficulty concentrating, and slower thinking.”

The research supported what many people with ME/CFS and Long COVID experience which was that cognitive effort was not just tiring but could have real neurological impacts, and adequate rest was not optional but essential.
