My WIFE (ao3) has been SHOT (is down for maintenance) and is DEAD FOREVER (probably will be back up in a few hours)
I got on Tumblr to be dramatic about AO3 being down. Fashionably late as per usual.

:20 - "Oh, I know what this is!"
2:15 - "What do you mean, there's another minute and a half?"
3:10 - "What the fuck do you mean, there's another 35 seconds !?"
This is insanely well built. Better than some houses I have seen and made of chocolate

Preservation by Kate Canterbary - Review
Preservation Synopsis Two lonely hearts. Just once, she’d like to be someone’s first choice. She’s strong-willed and spunky, but she’s left picking up the pieces from her ex’s lies and manipulations, and daydreaming about taking a scalpel to his scrotum. Flying under the radar is what he does best. He’s laid-back and loyal, but he wants the most off-limits woman in his world, and nothing will…

She has also unfollowed the Spirit on insta, which she should.
Fuck this.
Informing players before they're traded is definitely a step in the right direction, but simply telling them they're being traded is still a shit move
the way the entire draft and trading works actually blows my mind, i completely understand getting these fresh players out of college but the fact its at the expense of seasoned players who are supposed to have the safety and security of contracts is wiillddd
When I said that on Twitter last year I got absolutely flamed but I definitely won’t ever understand how this is legal or ethical. EVERY YEAR someone ends up in a situation like this.
i saw an argument last night that people who support the wsl/live in the UK shouldn't comment on it because they aren't progressive enough to understand the draft and don't have colleges and programs that actually produce decent athletes 💀 like??
Americans are so daft sometimes. Like. It’s not that we don’t understand your system it’s just that it’s clearly harming people… but their only argument is “it’s like this in other sports” so I’ve quit arguing.
As someone who has followed the NWSL since it's first season, NWSL stans need to shut the fuck up and smell the roses already. Any trade that isn't consented to by the player should be banned. It's not progressive to force a 24 year old to move 2000 miles away from her home because you feel like it.
It's even worse considering it's usually the youngest and lowest paid players who face the most invasive trades. The truth is that the NWSL doesn't have free agency, freedom or player rights and stans need to stop pretending like those things are optional.
Contracts should be honored, trades should need a player's consent, player rights being held beyond contract end dates shouldn't be a thing and any owner still advocating for the cattle auctions should be burned at the stake.
I’m an American and I’m used to the draft/trade program, in multiple sports. It’s a sort of necessarily evil in American sports, as far as I’m concerned—although I would love to see a league have the balls to take the lead in getting rid of drafts and trades. Y’all are good at talking about the human rights side of it, so I won’t touch on that. But…
If nothing else, these trades are a bad business decision. The NWSL can’t compete on the global market when players can be traded willy-nilly. Spirit fans think that they’re somehow going to land Alexia this summer when the club is actively showing that they treat even their stars like this? I’m okay with salary caps, at least in some form (i.e. salary bands). I think the NWSL has an intensity that other leagues lack at this point. But FFS, they’re never going to compete on the global market if they can’t move to the same rights system as the rest of the world.
MLS is literally a joke (as in, I can think of at least one Ted Lasso bit insulting MLS), and the NWSL will become the same if they continue lagging behind Europe in player agency. Hell, they’re lagging behind Mexico too at this point. Player agency is a chance for the NWSL to show that the US can compete globally, and even the “better” teams in the league keep showing that they don’t give a shit. The NWSL isn’t going to get an Alexia/Aitana/Viv/Sam unless they decide to forgo inane American sports customs and treat players how they deserve to be treated.
I’m irritated, to say the least, at Gotham for the whole Pierre thing, but I think Yael has successfully taken advantage of the fact that players talk. The Spirit don’t seem to be thinking about that, and I don’t think they’re going to compete until they do. And, again, they’re one of the teams that are considered better than others. They talk a big talk, they’ll pay a lot of money for whatshisface from Barca, but they can’t stick with a player who doesn’t mesh with Krikorian’s ego. And I’m confident that that’s gonna fuck them over next free agency period 🤷♀️
what is wild to me is that the NWSL is ALWAYS so proud of their independence. Like literally anytime you ask anyone what one of the unique selling points of the NWSL is, they will tell you independence. And they are right. Not depending on a men's team or league is great because you're the main focus. But what use is being independent when you still don't break away from toxic customs set by men's sports leagues?
Out of any league currently active the NWSL has the most freedom in forming their league and they choose to continue with this bullshit. That's a worse kick in the teeth than any other league trying but failing to make changes due to their affiliation with a men's league.
Any international player who has other club options and isn't highly motivated by external factors (like family or relationship) isn't going to play for a club that sells it's players like a farmer sells a cow.

being an adult is just dragging urself kicking and screaming to things that you will enjoy and that will be good for you
clenching my teeth and muttering under my breath "you'll be happy you did it you'll be happy you did it you'll be happy you did it" as I physically force myself out the door to go Do Things
being very firm with myself every time I think about bailing and saying "no. you committed to this. it will improve your quality of life. you will enjoy it. now put on your big boy pants and go."
Casey Stoney received a red card in their game against Orlando for this flick of the ball.
This was so fucking bonkers. Insane this was a red card.
