A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN (1992)

CLASSIC MOVIE MOMENTS

In this film the men were off to war and baseball wanted to keep their sport alive so they decided to make a major league of female ball players with the mind to end it when the men were back. Placing women back in the role of housewife.

Many brave and strong females fought for their league. Even after their fathers, brothers, husbands and sons came back home and unfortunately some didn't make it back

This movie was directed by the late great actress/director PENNY MARSHALL that fictionalized the actual ALL-AMERICAN GIRLS PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL LEAGUE OR AAGPBL

In the gifs started the tryouts where Mae (MADONNA) and Doris (ROSIE O'DONNELL) tried intimidating farm girls Dottie Hinson (the spectacular GEENA DAVIS) Dottie's little sister Kit Keller (LORI PETTY) and daddy's girl and tomboy Marla Hooch (MEGAN CAVANAUGH) but when Doris threw her best pitch at these girls. Dottie caught the ball with her bare hand. She did what she did and took no questions afterwards.

This movie boasted an incredible cast of ladies plus the ICONIC TOM HANKS as the drunken coach that at first didn't give a damn about ladies playing baseball.

All were fantastic but this movie for me went to the talented and beautiful GEENA DAVIS as Dottie Keller Hinson. Her character played for one year. Had a flirtatious relationship with the drunken coach but then went home to her husband after he returned home from war. While Dottie's sister Kit whom always felt second best to her sister found her calling as a professional baseball player when she defeated her sister's team THE ROCKFORD PEACHES (once her team until she was traded) bringing victory to her new team THE RACINE BELLES.

JIMMY NEUTRON REVIVAL PROJECT: UPDATE 33

Hi folks.

I wanted to take some serious time to discuss the events from December in this blog so that everyone, cast included, can better understand my situation and my circumstances. L.A. COMIC CON AND MY 2022 LIFE

Before I get to the L.A. Comic-Con itself, let me discuss my 2022 in a nutshell.

In April of 2022, I developed a weird tiredness feeling that I have had for many months. I had been in and out of doctor’s offices trying to figure out what it is and was put on a waiting list for an Endocrinologist who will see me on March 9th. I also suffer from depression which has plagued my personal life for many years. I have been seeking help through a talk therapist and a medication therapist who, try as they might, haven’t been able to do too much. But I am now on a medication (Wellbutrin 300mg) that has given me a little bit of my energy back which is something. However, the amount of money I have had to fork over for these visits has been anything but cheap. My insurance covers a lot of it, but the rest of the cost is up to me.

Additionally, I had been mulling over the prospect of returning to school. My current degree wasn’t helping me as far as my career prospects were concerned and I wanted to work on a business degree to improve my chances of landing a fulfilling career. As I was a gig worker and part-time online test scorer, I didn’t have a lot of money. And at the time, I had made zero plans to make any trips for the year or do anything else that would set me back financially. So, I made the decision to take the plunge and I applied to college. I was accepted and began my studies online in the fall of 2022. I spent close to $7000 on my first semester and the spring semester so far has been roughly the same, give or take a few hundred dollars.

Now, let’s go back in time to the Jimmy Neutron panel at L.A. Comic-Con which had been formally announced on October 28th. This gave me barely a month to prepare. I was scrambling to find low-cost airfare, a reasonably-priced hotel, and transportation. I did my due diligence and researched every site I could, including popular sites like Orbitz and Expedia. The airfare was going to set me back almost $500 ($400 + fees). I was able to find a hotel on the L.A. Comic-Con website, but it would have been about $700-$800 plus a large hospitality tax. The one good thing about it is that it was on the same street as the convention center and within walking distance. Then came the dilemma of finding a cab or an Uber/Lyft to get me from the airport to the hotel and the hotel back to the airport, which would have been at least $50-$75 both ways. Add food, money for souvenirs, the actual cost of two badges for the show plus fees since I would have attended 2 out of the 3 days, plus autographs and it was going to cost me close to $2000.

By the time I had the knowledge that a reunion panel was happening, $7000 was already gone due to school. I did not have enough discretionary funds I could use as far as taking any kind of a trip was concerned.

I am in the lower-income bracket along with so many other millennials. Some of us got lucky and found good careers while others like myself have had to struggle. There are probably more articles on the Internet about the struggles many of us millennials have went through than I can count. For people like me, life has been tough.

Because I am in the low-income bracket, I have to budget a lot of the things that I do. School was a major cost factor as far as my budget for 2022 was concerned, and I knew that any little bit of money I did have left would have to go to the other bills and responsibilities I must pay for each month.

In the end, after crunching the numbers, I did not have the $2000 I would need to make the journey out to the convention, and I had to make the difficult decision of informing all of my followers that I would not be able to attend. This broke my heart more than anyone could possibly realize. I was extremely upset and sad about it.

I decided to take the initiative to finish the petition so that it could be displayed at the show if the cast wished. I spent several weeks in about 3-4 settings working 3 hours at a time to edit the fake names and duplicate signatures out of the petition as well as the odd comments and duplicate comments on the petition comment page. On November 27th, at midnight, I finished everything and sent it off to the organizer of the panel and that was that.

There were a couple of people who thought that I was going to attend which caused quite a bit of confusion. I did my best to try to clear up any misunderstandings. Even though I did explain that I wasn’t coming on my socials, I know not everyone sees these posts which I totally understand.

The weekend of the show was extremely difficult. It got to a point where I had to shut my notifications off on social media so that the pictures and other notifications bombarding me about the show wouldn’t send me spiraling into a deeper state of depression. Unfortunately, I fell apart. I had been able to keep it together for so long, but the weekend of the show, I was no longer able to remain that stoic person I always try to be. I broke down several times and felt absolutely awful. I have had many days of sleepless nights and still feel absolutely guilty. I felt like I had let people down and it hurt like hell.

While I hope this is not a one-time deal, if it ends up being that way and I missed out, all I can say is I am sorry. I am sorry that the funds were not there for me to attend. This was something that I wanted to do and had I had more advance notice I would have moved mountains to try to get the money. I wish I was one of those people who could drop everything to do something like this. But unfortunately, I am not.

In order for me to attend anything like this in the future, should that happen, I would need advance notice that is more than a month, so I have the time to prepare. Otherwise, it will be hard for me to get a plan together along with the proper funding.

Also, I will try to set aside a savings account for trips so I can be a little better prepared in this way.

I hope that this explanation is helpful to my followers, the cast, or anyone else who may be reading this.

Thank you all for your understanding.

[dontmeantobepoliticalbut]

A Nebraska Republican state senator who voted for a combined anti-trans and anti-abortion bill that passed by one vote in the legislature has admitted that she didn’t pay attention to the issue.

State Senator Christy Armendariz represents the 18th District in the state.

Writing for New York magazine, journalist Lila Shapiro said that the Senator “led me to a bench in an empty hallway” to say that she “found it puzzling that a reporter from New York would come all the way to Nebraska to cover this affair.”

“I don’t watch the news or get the newspaper,” she told the magazine. “Is there anything going on I should be aware of?”

The writer told Ms. Armendariz that other states have passed other similar bills restricting trans and women’s reproductive rights and that an appeals court on the federal level in the Nebraska circuit had ruled that one of them was unconstitutional.

“So is it a big widespread thing?” she asked the writer, adding that regular Nebraska residents were unaware of the issue.

“I knocked doors for a year, and nobody brought this up,” the Senator said, adding that she wished that the legislation had never been brought to the floor.

For three months, a group of lawmakers in the state ground nearly all legislative business in the state to a halt, grabbing the nation’s attention with a remarkable filibuster to stifle a bill that would end gender-affirming care for young transgender people.

Late Tuesday 16 May, Republican lawmakers broke through, advancing a bill that not only bans gender-affirming care for trans people under 19 years old but also tacks on an amendment to outlaw abortion after roughly 10 weeks of pregnancy and hands the state’s GOP-appointed medical officer the authority to set the rules for affirming care for trans youth.

Hundreds of protesters filled the capital in Lincoln, standing outside the doors and in the gallery above lawmakers while chanting “one more vote to save our lives”; only one Senator would have had to defect from supporters of the bill to kill the legislation.

The vote – on the 78th day of a 90-day session – followed a series of manoeuvres that opponents argued were bending and breaking the rules of the state legislature to hammer through the legislation and avert the filibuster, which would allow opponents to occupy their allotted time to speak the bill to death.

“What you are attempting to do today is the lowest of the absolute lows,” state Senator Machaela Cavanaugh, who spearheaded the filibuster, told Republican lawmakers.

“You literally have to cheat at every moment of this debate in every possible way … You are allowing it to happen,” she added. “You do literally have blood on your hands, and if you vote for it, you will have buckets.”

State Senator Megan Hunt, the first openly LGBT+ member of the state legislature and the mother of a trans child, lambasted lawmakers for their “escape routes” from the capitol to avoid facing protesters.

“If you can’t go out and face them, you are not worthy,” she said. “Your legacy is filth.”

Protesters surrounded the state capitol chambers in Lincoln again on 19 May, chanting “keep your bans off our bodies” and “save our lives” as lawmakers made their final round of votes on the bill, which passed 33-15. The bill reached the exact number of votes needed to pass.

Republican Governor Jim Pillen signed it into law on Monday.

“We are working to inspire Nebraskans to get in the game so that abortion is simply unthinkable in the state of Nebraska,” Mr. Pillen said, according to WOWT.

He called the legislation “the most significant win for [the] social conservative agenda that over a generation has seen in Nebraska. I think that’s something we need to clap and shout about.”

At a show in Nebraska hours after the vote on Friday night, the artist Lizzo lambasted the legislation from the stage. “It really breaks my heart that there are young people growing up in a world that doesn’t protect them,” she said.

“Don’t let anyone tell you who you are. ... These laws are not real. You are what’s real, and you deserve to be protected,” she said.

“Hat tip to Senator Armendariz, who says she doesn’t know anything about the issue, doesn’t pay attention to current events, and wishes the bill she voted for hadn’t been introduced. It passed by 1 vote,” wrote Ari Kohen, a political science professor at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

“These are the people who devoted an entire legislative session to taking away people’s rights in the face of massive opposition from experts and ordinary citizens. They openly admit that none of their constituents mentioned this issue to them and they don’t know much about it,” he added. “We have a handful of legislators who care enough to listen and learn. And then we have the majority, who seem not to know or care what they’re doing as long as it feels right to them and they have the votes to do it. Awful.”

The Independent has requested comment from Ms. Armendariz.

[batboyblog]

Nebraska state Senators Megan Hunt and Machaela Cavanaugh are leading master class in dealing with transphobes in power:

Be mean to them.

from Senator Cavanaugh:

“I’m going to block anything from changing this bill. I tried to get the committee to change this bill before it came out of committee. I tried to convince the committee members that we should consider an amendment. I asked if the introducer requested an amendment. No. No. No.”

“So now you wanna compromise? To assuage your guilt? No thank you. I will not allow you to assuage your guilt. If you want to find a way to vote for 574, vote for 574. It’s there for you. Go for it. Have at it. But it’s not gonna get better. It’s going to be in its pure from that Sen. [Kathleen Kauth] and the male members of the HHS committee decided it would be in.”

“You get to vote for that and nothing else. If you want to blame me for your inability to stand up for your own beliefs, fine. I don’t have to live with you. I don’t have to live with your conscious, you do.”

and Senator Hunt:

“This bill harms me in an unforgivable way. This is a line you don’t cross with me. If you cross it today you’re staying on other side of it, because you have done irreparable harm. You’re doing harm to the body and Nebraska as well. Don’t say hi to me in the hall. Don’t ask me how my weekend was. Don’t walk my desk and ask me anything. Don’t send me Christmas cards. Take me off the list. You don’t know me. We have no relationship. And if you don’t believe me, if you think I’m going to cool down and change my mind? You should believe me. No one in the world holds a grudge like me. And no one in the world cares less about being petty than me. I don’t care. I don’t like you. You aren’t welcome in my space. You aren’t’ a safe person for my child to be around or any child frankly. Don’t believe me? You should.”

[transpondster]

We don’t always realize how hard people are fighting back in red states. The fact that they don’t win a lot says so much about their character, their persistence, their beliefs, and their love for their home town or county or state. And we don’t get to see them fighting very often because the news we do see tends to focus on Republican lawmakers spewing out unchallenged justifications for their awful behavior. What you see in this video happens all the time in red states and it’s important to recognize and appreciate it. 

[rebel-girl-queen-of-my-world]

Also worthy of attention - the incredible Megan Hunt - Nebraska State Senator from Omaha’s District 8. She’s a fierce protector of her trans son and a fucking lioness:

I’m in awe of her.

Now THIS is allyship.

[ganurath]

There's a lot going on here, so I'm going to hammer the key points.

The bill up for debate proposed by District 31's Senator Kathleen Kauth, LB574, prevents Nebraskans age 18 or younger from receiving surgical and/or medical services to help them transition. Health care providers are forbidden from making so much as a reference to another provider, even one in a state where such treatment would be legal.

Up until recently, the filibustering of Senator Machaela Cavanaugh of District 6 has been hitting every bill that has come up, slowing the session to the crawl. Earlier this week, LB574 got moved up in the queue to try to get the matter out of the way.

If debate runs out of time, a cloture vote is held, which requires a 2/3rds majority of 33 votes to succeed. Otherwise, a simple majority is required. With a single house legislature and a Republican governor, running the debate to the cloture vote is the best defense of Nebraska's trans youth. With 17 Democrats in the Nebraska Senate, they have just enough to keep the debate going so long as none of them vote to end the debate.

Which is precisely what the Democrat Senator from District 5, Mike McDonnell, did. There are two more rounds of debate after this, before the bill either dies or gets the governor's signature.

McDonnell has diverged from the Democrat party line before, citing his Catholic faith as the reason for his anti-abortion position. According to the article above and more local publications on the topic, all the lawmakers in the unicameral were alerted to how psychological professionals have been receiving calls from patients in crisis, considering suicide. Given the Catholic Church's position on suicide, I'm hoping an appeal to his faith might sway him where basic human empathy (such as for his fellow Senator, Megan Hunt, who has a trans son young enough to be impacted by the bill) seems to have failed him.

Also, various local publications have said he has mayoral ambitions, so anyone living in Omaha outside his particular voting district shouldn't feel shy about contacting the email address on his public profile.

[60000beesinatrenchcoat]

Local (mayoral and city council) primary elections for the major districts are NEXT TUESDAY, APRIL 4.

General elections are the Tuesday after, APRIL 11.

Megan Hunt and Machaela Cavanaugh are almost single-handedly preventing anti-trans and anti-drag bills, and similar things are happening all over the country. For FUCKS sake get out and vote.

FUCK NEBRASKA LB371, LB574 and LB575 and FUCK the GOP

Nebraska hasn't passed a single bill this year because one lawmaker keeps filibustering in protest of an anti-trans bill: 'I will burn this session to the ground'

Damn. I thought she was just gonna up and make a fuss and her swearing to protect trans kids was a bunch of empty words (again).

But no. She's one-woman filibustering the entire Nebraska legislature into a complete standstill until they agree to protect the rights of trans kids.

She was 100% serious when she said she'd make it as painful for everyone as it is for trans kids. Gahddamn.

This is why small elections matter. She's not a country wide senator or president or shit. She's just a local official representing District 6 in Nebraska.

This is why the "smaller" elections between the presidential elections matter.

Among the pile of horrible bills introduced in Nebraska this session, LB626, AKA "The heartbeat bill" would ban abortion after 6 weeks. Given the fact that 99.9% of people don't know they're pregnant at 6 weeks, this would effectively be a complete ban.

LB626 was on final reading yesterday. But thanks to the weeks long efforts of Machaela Cavanaugh (our senator!!!), and her colleagues like Megan Hunt, Jen Day, Carol Blood, and Danielle Conrad, it failed to advance out of filibuster!!!

And the person we have to thank for that? 80 year old life-long Republican Merv Riepe. Senator Riepe, who had previously co-sponsored the bill, realized it was too extreme and its passing would cost the GOP in the 2024 elections. He proposed a 12 week amendment (which still isn't great, but much better than 6 weeks), which failed. And when it came to me to invoke cloture (end the filibuster and do the final vote) it failed by ONE vote... Senator Riepe voted "Present/Not voting".

This morning Elizabeth Banks even re-tweeted about it!!! It's such a refreshing change to have Nebraska get noticed for something good.

[liu-anhuaming]

Apparently multiple senators in Nebraska are filibustering *every single bill* until the end of the session in response to a bill that would ban gender affirming care for people under 19. The senator mentioned in this headline is Megan Hunt. The filibuster was started by Senator Machaela Cavanaugh.

[batboyblog]

LINCOLN, Neb. —  

The Nebraska Legislature was set to vote Thursday on a contentious bill that seeks to ban gender-affirming care for minors and led one lawmaker to stage a weekslong filibuster.

The vote to advance the bill was expected on the third day of debate in which lawmakers have angrily accused one another of hypocrisy and a lack of collegiality. It also saw Omaha Sen. Megan Hunt promising to join fellow Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh’s effort to filibuster every bill that comes before lawmakers for the rest of the 90-day session if the bill advances. 

Hunt took to the floor of the Legislature on Wednesday to confess that the debate is deeply personal for her, because her teenage son is transgender. She called the bill an affront to her as a parent and called out by name lawmakers she would hold accountable if they vote to advance it.

“If this bill passes, all your bills are on the chopping block, and the bridge is burned,” she said. “I’m not doing anything for you. Because this is fake. this has nothing to do with real life. this is all of you playing government.”

The proposal had caused tumult in the legislative session long before debate began on it earlier this week. It was cited as the genesis of a nearly three-week, uninterrupted filibuster carried by Cavanaugh, who followed through on her vow in late February to filibuster every bill before the Legislature — even those she supported — declaring she would “burn the session to the ground over this bill.”

She stuck with it until an agreement was reached late last week to push the bill to the front of the debate queue. Instead of trying to eat time to keep the bill from getting to the floor, Cavanaugh decided she wanted a vote to put on the record which lawmakers would “legislate hate against children.”

The Nebraska bill, along with another that would ban trans people from using bathrooms and locker rooms or playing on sports teams that don’t align with the sex listed on their birth certificates, are among roughly 150 bills targeting transgender people that have been introduced in state legislatures this year. 

Introduced by Republican Sen. Kathleen Kauth, a freshman lawmaker, the bill would outlaw gender-affirming therapies such as hormone treatments, puberty blockers and gender reassignment surgery for those 18 and younger. The purpose of the bill, she has said, is to protect youth from undertaking gender-affirming treatments they might later regret as adults, citing research that says adolescents’ brains aren’t fully developed.

She introduced an amendment Tuesday to drop the restriction on hormone treatments, instead banning only gender reassignment surgery for minors in an effort to get enough votes for the measure to advance. But opponents vowed to force a vote Thursday on the original bill.

If advanced, the bill would have to survive two more rounds of debate to pass in the unique one-house, officially nonpartisan Legislature. Republican Gov. Jim Pillen has said he will sign the bill into law if it reaches his desk.

If it fails to advance, it’s dead for the session, but could be revived next year.

today is the moment of truth, Nebraska Republicans need 33 votes to override Senator Cavanaugh's (and Senator Hunt now) filibuster, there are 32 Republicans, if every Democrat hangs tough and backs up Cavanaugh and Hunt then this bill dies, at least for the rest of the year.

HOOORRRAAAYYYY NEBRASKA!!!

The Chuds have lost this one. It has been a long fight, but the people of Nebraska, and senators Megan Hunt and Cavanaugh Cavanaugh, and other democrat senators, have pulled through and stopped the fascists.

Now we have to stop the anti drag and trans laws. Stop them from excluding teens from the increase in minimum wage. and other various bullshit.
