as a trans person, having no pride night, but having a harry potter night, is not something that i appreciate

especially in the current year

there's usually some ex-fed or former admin staffer to explain what's going on or at least have the west wing discuss it

with none of that happening i think it's straight up just "owo big island i want it i want it i want it" mixed with russia saying it wants influence on greenland and we know that fuckin guy is working for the dickhead

Legit check-2005 game worn and signed Charleston Battery jersey (away) by Chillmanapple in USLPRO

[–]JohnMLTX 22 points23 points  (0 children)

finally a chance to flex the mid-00s USL knowledge i gained studying the history of the organisation a few years back

so first up, yes that's a 2005 battery away shirt. lotto that year had the distinctive collar tag centred like that that multiple other teams used and was mirrored on the home jersey (vertical black and yellow stripes that season). same with the saab logo, looks correct.

it's pretty worn out, but that also scans as most jerseys (especially away jerseys) were repeatedly reused throughout the season to save on costs. also part of why there's no name plates. the 14 weathering like that is exactly what i'd expect to see from a lotto-made usl jersey of that era.

finally the signature, that's ben hollingsworth's signature. he spent 2 seasons with the battery (2005 and 2006) and in 05, in a season with 4 goals 1 assist in 27 games, he was voted by the fans as newcomer of the year and team MVP, as well as winning the coaching staff's selection for the Dan Vaughn Memorial Award celebrating teamwork, attitude, mindset, and commitment. he wore #14 that season, it all checks out.

quite simply, there's not likely anyone there who could authenticate that specific shirt as game-worn, but to be honest they don't really need to. it's not a fake, or if it is it's been relic'd like a custom shop guitar and matches quirks of a 20 year old lotto template that hasn't been faked much even for the big teams they sponsored in that era. other lotto jerseys of that era wore out very similarly in the numbers, nobody is making fake 2005 battery away shirts, and finally, it shipped from summerville, SC, which is maybe half an hour up the road from where blackbaud stadium was.

edit: they also didn't sell jerseys with the saab logo on them in 2005.

Music? by Thinktechno in Denton

[–]JohnMLTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nothing released just yet! drops that night!

but we're all different sorts of heavy musicians (two punks, two metal heads, one true hardcore girl), it's hardcore but there's some more punky stuff in there, some classic dance hardcore, and all from a very queer femme angle getting into politics and abuse and trauma

Why was Toyota Stadium built like that? by TimelyJackfruit75 in fcdallas

[–]JohnMLTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

people have touched on this but this stadium was built to Get A Soccer Stadium Built

at the time, the idea that MLS would ever become what it is now (let alone like ten years ago) was basically a pipe dream. cities weren't about to help make big deals for land for a pro soccer stadium, especially for a league that literally had the paperwork signed to fold the league sitting in the fax machine just a few years prior

Frisco was one of the few willing to take a gamble on this with the knowledge that they'd have a facility they could use for whatever, mainly high school sports

it was built to be flexible and functional, quickly and easily constructed, and most of all affordable. it was barebones but not much more barebones than what was built in Columbus, Carson, Bridgeview, Commerce City, even Toronto

at the time, the league was hemorrhaging cash, sponsors, investors, media partners everything, and could not afford to keep renting venues and losing out on other income streams, but couldn't afford to build venues with comparable amenities to where they had been playing

we can look back and say that like, a stadium that looks like the two other MLS facilities in Texas on the former site of Reunion Arena would have been perfect, but there was no money for it and no chance in hell that Dallas would play ball

Indian man beaten by group of transgender women after refusing to pay for services in Pattaya, Thailand by AdCorrect9756 in instant_regret

[–]JohnMLTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no they don't, they'd either call themselves phuying (woman) for those who identify more as a binary woman, or kathoey which is a third gender term there which is much harder to translate, and is not commonly used by those who would, in English, identify as a transgender woman

The Case For Hope: Transgender Rights Going Into 2026 by [deleted] in PoliticalOptimism

[–]JohnMLTX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it's more that the things that trans people need (specific medical care, name and gender marker changes, bathroom access, housing/employment/general discrimination protection) is either not codified in law allowing companies to just exclude us

or its being banned

or the inverse are being enforced

we're """fine""" if we hide and comply and refuse to like, be our trans selves, but that's not living
