The light was hitting this one dahlia in my garden perfectly this afternoon!

Very disappointing. Surely we can find another sponsor.

I agree 100% on the 90s Italian Footballer look needing to come back.

Me too! Such a fun profile as a player, and it always seems like he’s so happy to be out there.

Listen, I love football and am a diehard Arsenal fan, but I’m not immune to this insane face. Watch my favorite team AND this absolute worldie?! Yes, please.

Hi! Did you know that you aren’t pronouncing axolotl correctly?

Suppression of indigenous languages by the Spanish is one of the Four Wounds of Colonization. This is a small subversion of colonial power you can use!

Axolotl is a Nahuatl word, and it sounds like this:

Was trying to leave a comment on your blog, but my browser is being silly, so here it is instead! I love when a Saliba gets the googly eyes. They’re perfect on him. Cracks me up every time. I also love the disdain Gillet has for the towel. (Clear penalty, lol) He was too mean to our Good Italy Boy.

I feel like two of Calafiori’s least impressive games for Arsenal lately have been when Trossard starts on the left. Just an observation, not trying to start anything.

ARSENAL, YOU BEAUTIES!!!

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Political violence and threats are not the answer.

This is a watershed moment — we can choose to stay silent and live in fear, or we can choose to be loud for peace and compassion.

We must work together to stop this crisis, and it should start from the top with the President.

Question:

When in the actual fuck, as a country, did we decide that our government gets to demand that we mourn someone in some particular way?

The admin of the official Champions League Twitter account posting a thirst trap photo of Calafiori is both deeply relevant to my interests and incredibly hilarious.
