Happy first day of . . . summer? If it hits 60 today, I'll be pleasantly surprised. On the bright side, low wildfire danger. #PNWlife

Good news! It's not published yet, but Play On has been selected as a finalist for the Aurora Polaris Creative Nonfiction Book Award. If everything stays on track, it will be published around July 19th.

This is very bad news. Not to hard to connect the dots. Dear Leader announces he wants to send American citizens to El Salvador gulags. Someone points out that conditions in those gulags are not consistent with U.S. human rights standards. Solution: change the standards.
The State Department is changing its mind about what it calls human rights
The agency's annual human rights reports are being purged of references to prison conditions, political corruption and other abuses.

60, 436 words later, Play On: From Adversity to Advantage Through 140 Years of Women's Soccer is finished. A sampling of the research involved, not including interviews, documentaries and approximately 5 million articles. Next stop: find an editor. Whew!

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Questlove is a genius. The TLC section reminds me of how much I wanted to be a fly girl in the 90s.

A reminder that HIPAA applies regardless of a patient’s immigration status.

A 6-year-old article from the AMA with evergreen guidance for healthcare providers facing this situation:

I'm going to have to start wearing a visor to the gym to block the onslaught of Fox 'News' and 'News'max. Thus far I have refrained from leaping off the elliptical machine and shouting, "What fresh he'll is this?" but it's touch and go right now.

Finished writing Chapter 7 of Play On: From Adversity to Advantage Through 140 Years of Women's Soccer History this morning. Planning to have it completely finished and ready to send to an editor by February 18th. And it's only taken me 9 years!

Insightful. Makes me glad I'm no longer in my 20s or 3s attempting to navigate this. This is the "two steps back" part.
Straights aren't pairing off like they used to, and the press wants to blame women — for daring to have standards.

I argue that it's MAGA that broke heterosexuality. They make it seem like hell. Of course more women are taking a pass.

Because Qatar wasn't bad enough. A few years ago I read The Fall of the House of FIFA by @DavidConn detailing the long and flagrant history of corruption within football's governing body. This decision takes the cake. Infantino caters to murderous dictatorships.
