2, 9, 14, 19!

hi thank you!!

2. AOTY! I loved javelin, probably my favorite sufjan since age of adz. tied between that and influx by anna b savage. although again my real aoty was a brief history of amazing letdowns by lilys, my assigned random 90s album of 2023.

9. Best month for you this year? you know what I think my happiness was really evenly distributed this year. august was awesome because i saw a million friends but i also got covid so that loses some points. let's go with september a month that every single year makes me go my god i love september. went to boston and maine, saw some beloved friends, reconnected with some old friends in a really emotionally significant way, deepened some newer friendships, saw megan rapinoe's last uswnt game, had some top notch culinary experiences. and it looked like this:

14. Favorite book you read this year? I answered but I will take this space to give honorable mentions to: plum rains by andromeda romano-lax, birnam wood by eleanor catton, two sherpas by sebastián martínez daniell, bad behavior by mary gaitskill, briefly a delicious life by nell stevens, walking practice by dolki min, the summer book by tove jansson, a tale for the time being by ruth ozeki, outline by rachel cusk, lote by shola van reinhold, and the lathe of heaven by ursula k le guin.

19 What’re you excited about for next year? I am so stoked for next year and it's all somewhat filtered through the fact that i'll be turning 30. over the past few years I have worked very hard to put a few pieces of my life in place which is ofc an infinitely ongoing process but i am feeling very good about where i am and very optimistic about a new decade. knock on wood but based on how some things are going i think i will start a new job and that it will be great. two of my oldest friends are getting married and i'm really excited to sob through their weddings. i have been working a lot on figuring out my priorities and how to treat them like they are priorities and i just have this feeling like i am going to enter my 30s with friends i love and healthy creative habits and a pretty strong understanding of myself. and that it will be awesome.

Women's lives - Megan Rapinoe.

Our “Anna” or better known as Megan Rapinoe checked into her retirement yesterday! This was after her she played her last football game with what has been current club, OL Reign. If you look closely at the logo and trademark name of OL Reign, it so much looks like Olympique Lyonnais (the men’s team) and Olympique Lyonnais Feminin’ (the women’s team, one of my favourites in the world), both of…

When Megan Rapinoe met Ada Hegerberg: ‘Euro 2022? Everyone was late to the party’

The Ballon d’Or winners come together to discuss England’s Euros triumph, next year’s World Cup and their teams’ sorority

It’s been three years since Olympique Lyonnais acquired a majority stake in Seattle-based NWSL club Reign FC, forging an international sisterhood between women’s clubs unlike any model in professional sports.

The partnership has brought some of the world’s best known players into the same organizational stable, including Lyon’s Ada Hegerberg (who won the Ballon d’Or in 2018) and OL Reign’s Megan Rapinoe (who claimed the trophy in 2019). Ahead of their clubs’ joint US tour, Rapinoe and Hegerberg sat down for an exclusive conversation with the Guardian to discuss their teams’ unique sorority, their impressions of England’s epochal Euro 2022 triumph and their hopes for next year’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

What were your thoughts on Euro 2022 and how it seemed to penetrate English culture, not unlike the 1999 World Cup in the United States?

Megan Rapinoe: My overarching feeling was like, everyone’s late to the party. This is not surprising to me at all. I feel like I’ve known that the level of play was going to be that [high]. I knew that the European teams, especially in the last five years with the rise of the club game, have been sensational. Of course this was going to be how it was going to go. We literally grow gardens out of cement every single time. Tell me one women’s tournament in the last 15 years that hasn’t exceeded expectations. Part of it is like: “Welcome, everybody, to the party. You’re extremely fucking late, but fine.” And I feel proud about that. Ada should feel the same and all the women’s players should feel the same because we did this. We did this. We put this into motion through literally sheer will, while also being the best players in the world.

The way that the English players held themselves in this tournament, they just embraced the moment fully and didn’t fall into the narrative or didn’t allow themselves to be stressed out about it. You could just tell they stepped into themselves. And it’s yet another data point, justification, reason, a clear picture of why investing in women’s football is good business, first and foremost. It’s a proper money-making opportunity.

So I feel so many different emotions. Just being as old as I am, it’s hard not to be jaded by some of this stuff, but progress moves at the speed that it does and I think being able to build on this is huge. And I’m just hoping that all of the main stakeholders can really take a look in the mirror and understand that it’s been them that’s been holding the game back, it’s not been us. I feel incredibly proud. I think all of the supporters should feel incredibly proud. I think this is a total watershed moment, this whole year, going from Champions League to what Barcelona did [setting multiple world attendance records].

While the US women’s national team routinely draws large crowds, the NWSL has failed to capture the same audience. What is the next step for growing the club game in the United States to what we’ve been seeing lately in Europe?

Rapinoe: It has to come from a place of investment. It can’t just be a charity thing. That’s sort of willfully naive at this point. I think we’ve proven time and time again – whether it’s in the club game, in the international game, in friendlies and Euros and Champions League, whatever – it’s good business to invest in women’s football. And it’s also the right thing to do, but I think before it’s the right thing to do, it’s good business. We shouldn’t be trying to copy every single thing that men’s sports has, and I think that’s obviously a really easy trap to fall into. But I think when you actually invest in women’s sports: the energy is there, the culture around it is there, the fandom is there, but if I can’t figure out how to find the [video] stream … nobody is going to watch the game.

So it’s investing around the streaming services, investing around the front offices, investing around the facilities for the players, the stadiums for the players, ticketing, marketing, all of that. That’s the only thing that’s missing. The players and the product on the field have never been missing. It’s just that we’ve been neglected and under-financed and under-invested in forever. Lyon’s a perfect example. Champions of Europe a million times, champions of France a million times. You have that success and now coupling that with maybe a sea change in the culture, especially after the World Cup in France, you’re seeing obviously massive returns. The Euros were just sensational, Champions League this year was absolutely sensational and you’re seeing bigger attendances around the world.

There is this unmistakable sense of momentum coming out of the Euros straight into a World Cup year. Aside from lifting the trophy, what would you most like to see out of next year’s tournament?

Ada Hegerberg: I keep on scratching my head after every big tournament. You have the World Cup, you have the Euros and then we get back to club and then it’s like the whole momentum just fades away. And I think that’s a huge problem. Like I’m a player in Europe, obviously, and I’ve seen what’s been happening here and – it’s like Megan mentioned earlier – every tournament has been a success in terms of interest from your home country, on a world basis, the coverage. You have this insane momentum and then you have all these best players going back to their clubs and it’s like you kind of lose this momentum. And I think it’s a shame.

Dazn did an incredible job with the Champions League this year. You had some pretty powerful coverage. People actually got a good platform to see all of the best games. But the problem is our home leagues, basically. I feel like England, they’re very good at selling their league. They’re very good at marketing their league, but the other leagues, we’ve got to step up. The federations are in control of these leagues and they have a huge job to do in order to lift the whole product, with the clubs obviously, and kind of shake it up a little bit and start selling the leagues, start selling good football matches where you actually have the best players playing every weekend. And that’s the next step, especially in Europe. You have to get the momentum up the whole year round.

Rapinoe: The only thing I would say about the World Cup next year, I would love to see the ball not be dropped. It’s absurd if it’s dropped again. That’s from the major stakeholders. That’s Uefa, that’s the federations, that’s Fifa, that’s Gianni [Infantino], specifically. It’s the Australian federation, everything. We know now that if you invest in this World Cup, it’s going to work. It’s just not even a fucking question. I would love to see people stop saying: Wow, I think we have something here! This is insane if you don’t invest in it. Whether that’s people are producing content or streaming services or sponsors or whatever it is.

It’s like a literal gold mine and I just don’t understand. I mean, I do understand: it’s sexism and patriarchy. The major stakeholders, most all of them are men and white men. Them being able to stand up and say: “You know what, like we got it wrong. We’ve been getting it wrong. We’ve been sexist.” Because that’s really what it is. We haven’t invested despite all of the key metrics pointing that this would be an incredible [return on investment].

You need to invest in the infrastructure around women’s sports, whether that’s streaming, branding, marketing, journalism, all of the things that help prop it up. I mean the men’s game, everybody talks about it all the time. I don’t want to know as much about LeBron James as I do, but I can’t not, because it’s in my face all the time. I’m sure in European football, with Canal+ and BBC Sport and all that, you probably don’t want to know as much about Jack Grealish as you do, but you’re going to anyway, because you can’t get him out of your mind. Stuff like that is really important.

Hegerberg: This kind of coverage will help change the mentalities, will help raise a completely different generation into training different, training smarter, to put the same demands to six-year-old girls that you do with six-year-old boys, for example. I wish that we were taken as seriously as boys when we started playing. And I think that has a huge impact on the level and long term as well, because I think that the game only can get better. The way the girls read the game, technically, we’ve seen that it’s been a huge change in the tempo and physically. Changing mentalities with having better coverage and investment, it will also have a huge impact on the next generation and how they play in 15 years, and I think that’s very important because we’re here to also raise the level year in and year out.

You mention the quality of European sides, Megan. How is the US women’s system planning on keeping up with Europe when they’re so clearly on America’s heels?

Rapinoe: The game is growing exponentially every year. It’s a huge challenge for us. I think the football being played at the Euros was the best football in the world that we’ve seen ever. I don’t think that’s even a question. It’s a huge challenge for us. We do know how to win. We do have a winning culture here. We know what we’re up against. So I think, for me, honestly, it’s exciting. It’s exciting that so many teams are so much better. It’s exciting that the level of competition is what it is. I think that brings out the best in everyone. But yeah, we’ve got a tall order to keep not only obviously our No 1 standing but to keep ourselves world champions. I’m excited for it. I think if you’re not pushed and you’re not challenged and you’re not shitting yourself a little bit, like what’s the point?

Hey folks! Would you like to help us collect money for a charity without actually spending any money? (At least not yours)

So I know that there's lots of great people here with huge hearts and all of you can help now!

The lovely people at Mastercard decided to once again help. If you go to Twitter today (12.01.2020) and tweet or retweet #MastercardGrazWOSP till 23:59 GMT+1 you'll help raise money! For each tweet or retweet of the hashtag (which is once again #MastercardGrazWOSP) mastercard will donate 5 PLN.

Now, you may ask, what it is I'm helping to raise money for. Well, WOŚP or the English version of the name - GOCC is the biggest, non-governmental, non-profit, charity organization in Poland. The GOCC Foundation holds American Heart Association certification to provide courses in CPR and AED, and for the use of high technology for medical lifesaving. The GOCC aims to support health care in Poland by purchase of state of the art medical equipment for Polish hospitals and clinics and by establishing and running six medical programmes and one educational programme. The foundation supports paediatric and geriatric wards, furnishing them in both complex medical devices such as MRI scanners, and providing long-term care units with anti-bedsore mattresses and beds. Since April 2016 the GOCC ranks on the top of the list as the most trusted public entity according to Brand Asset Valuator and is the second strongest brand in Poland in the ranking compiled by Millard Brown and Young & Rubicam agency. The GOCC foundation organizes the biggest open-air free entry music festival in Europe – Pol'and'Rock Festival. The GOCC foundation offers first aid & team-building courses, which are open to all adult members of public.

This year they raise funds to finance the purchase of medical equipment for paediatric surgery and subsequent treatment. They will focus on general surgery, cardiac surgery and neurosurgery. The want to improve the conditions of operating theaters, intensive care units and diagnostic imaging departments.

Although healthcare in Poland is technically free (delivered through a publicly funded health care system) and almost everyone has it, things aren't that cool. A lot of the hospitals need renovation, more medical staff etc etc. Thanks to WOŚP they don't have to worry when it comes to the most expensive part - the modern equipment needed to provide better care, mostly for Children and senior citizens.

Now, you may also ask, why should I even care? Well, for starters, if you have a heart, you probably will. Second of all, WOŚP is hated by our very conservative, right-wing leaders who are also Trump's ass kissers, just because the leader of WOŚP tells it how it is and calls out their hypocrisy. So the more money for WOŚP, the more you piss off xenophobic, misogynistic, homo- and transphobic backward fuckwitts, who think that church should rule this country and everyone should be Christian catholic and Trump is their best friend.

Yeah, so thank you. End of the rant.

[missnoirr]

Because America 😍😍😍 no but seriously what happened to genius themes like the comme des garcons one or the one about catholic imagination? Why are they being little cowards, the goal must be to be called blasphemous at the end of the day

I mean it is never ever good because they invite rich boring people who don't have and / or get any pussy BUT why do we have to keep doing themes that are a net loss for society. I don't need a bunch of weirdo american freaks i already don't like dressing up in american paraphernalia. i want them to wear light up dresses or chain link slips again like. give me something here

Hello there tags! I will be around for a little and thought I'd put some most wanted fcs by our members out there. We're a plotless celeb rp based on Discord. No worries if you aren't used to Discord rp yet, we're happy to explain and have a channel with a few tips and tricks. Now here are the mw:

[thelonesomequeen]

If you're looking for good celebrity autobiographies to read I recommend- Ali Wong, Gabrielle Union, Mariah Carey, Sharon Stone, Jessica Simpson, Will Smith (it explains how we got to mental breakdown Slapgate), Megan Rapinoe, Mena Suvari, Jodi Sweetin, Busy Philips, Anna Kendrick, Chrissy Metz, Tiffany Haddish Selma Blair, Demi Moore, Anna Faris, and Viola Davis. Those stood out the most to me because of all of the trauma, most own their dirt instead of sanitizing while also giving behind the scenes tea on the industry.

Or else listen to the podcast Celebrity Memoir Podcast or Celebrity Book Club as they give good breakdowns.

I found all of my books at major discounts on Ebay, Thriftbooks, Better World Books, and BookOutlet.

Thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely look into those! ☺️ I recently bought Dave Grohl’s (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) book and can’t wait to get into it.

Also, if you haven’t heard of the Libby or Hoopla apps I would say check them out! All you need is a valid library card (most you can sign up for online these days) and log in with your card and you can rent a bunch of materials through your device. I do a bunch of audiobooks that way when I’m busy. I struggle with reading books on my phone because too much screen time can trigger my migraines, but it is nice to check out a few pages of a book to see if it’s worth my time to buy, or if it’s older and I can’t find it anywhere but there 🦎
