Since I'm spending a little more time here, I thought I'd put this out there for my ACL fam going through it:
I believe in you. You can do this. You will be back, better than ever. #ACLcomeback #ACLrecovery #ACLrehab #ACLsurgery

Two male legs, one with recent ACL reconstruction scars, the other overlaid with text: "They're not all gonna be good days. And that's okay. The pain sucks and the work isn't easy. But I keep after it because I want to get back. And I will. #ACLREHAB"

Democrats are holding the line for a government funding bill that protects healthcare and lowers costs. If you are seeing your healthcare costs spike, I want to hear from you so I can best fight for you. Share your story with me at Dexter.House.Gov/ShareYourStory.

By now, foreign governments must have put their least effective and competent spies on the job of spying on us. It's just too easy.

Currently on a flight to Japan watching a Pentagon Assistant Press Secretary (Riley Podleski) work on a document in the open on her laptop. She spent the last hour copy and pasting headlines from articles critical of the Administration’s hostility toward the 1st amendment.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 12d

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

Ah yes, the annual day when I have to just let the historical inaccuracies wash over me and not try to correct every single thing. Columbus sucked, but he didn't do all the things people claim he did, and he wasn't arrested for mistreating Indigenous people. It's way more complicated!

One thing I was happy with aside from the goal was managing to keep posession of a ball I had to sprint full-gas for to keep in play. Almost every time, I get to it, stop it from going out, and I can't get a second touch much less turn with it without an opponent taking it away. Little things.

Thanks! Couldn't have asked for a better ball from Bryan there.

Tonight's GPS artwork from a not-as-drenched-as-it-started evening of rainy #TAFC7v7 footy. Bagged a late goal off a loooong throw from our GK. Glad to finish that after flubbing so many chances prior. Just shy of 3 miles, only off the pitch for a few minutes in the second half.
