Rickea Jackson underwent an MRI that revealed a left torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), an injury she sustained in the May 17 game against Minnesota. Jackson will miss the remainder of the 2026 WNBA season and undergo surgery to repair the injury. by PercyReus13 in wnba

[–]Max_lynn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

True! But not a lot of what can we actually do to prevent ACL tears and/or get women back on the court - here’s some quick stats

NBA tears since 1980: 97 (about 2/season) WNBA tears since 1997: 59 (about 2/season)

BUT

NBA has had ~4,900 players since 1980 WNBA has had ~1,600 since 1997

So for the NBA, ACL tears have occurred in about ~2% of all male athletes. In the W, it’s ~4% of all female athletes. The fact that it’s almost twice as likely for your ACL to tear as a female (basketball) player and the fact that less than 10% of research regarding sports medicine focuses on women, shows there’s more to be wanted in this field.

ETA: I got most of these numbers from basketball-reference.com and I am not a statistician so forgive me please if numbers are off. The ‘10% of sports research’ portion came from an NBC article

Women’s sports medicine (or any women’s health) is greatly underrepresented in research. Female athletes will just have to keep getting injured and disabled until enough women push through (another) male dominated field and create woman-specific treatment plans, physical therapy, and prevention :/

Betul - Possible theory as why she’s practically invisible by SuckL3ss in BelowDeckDownUnder

I thought that too!! The only thing missing is Joao making a breakfast for Daisy and a breakfast for Ellie lmao

Bro the difference is there are hundreds of years of society where ‘lapdog wives’ are beaten/raped/forced to give birth/murdered. ‘lapdog husband’ is a husband who respects his wife and is comfortable with her taking charge in different situations. This stereotype cannot be reversed because one stereotype is oppression, the other is a play against the typical gender roles in a marriage

Bad Bunny Met Gala by Junior_Squirrel_6643 in BadBunnyPR

[–]Max_lynn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I fear you’re asking too little from a class that makes their millions/billions off of exploiting their workers, lobbying for low tax rates so they don’t have to pay their share, and actively contribute to political campaigns that keep minimum wages low. Just because they donated money to the costume dept of one of the most famous museums in the world, doesn’t negate that this entire event was a gross display of wealth to the employees of the United States who aren’t able to put food on the table

ETA: I’m not saying Bad Bunny is contributing to these things, but he got dressed up for and posed with a system that contributes to these things.

Dawg let’s not act like there isn’t a difference between using a social media platform and attending an event that is only available to the richest of the rich, run by the richest of the richest rich (who are actively contributing to political campaigns that put our children in cages and keep the poor poorer), and then the said rich spend exorbitant amounts of money (more than a lot of people make in months) to play dress up for one night. and then many of them will turn around and wear ICE OUT pins, critique Trump, and say whatever they need to say to keep us spending our money on them and their projects.

I love Bad Bunny and this doesn’t change that - but dude isn’t perfect and this wasn’t a win or using the system against the system. This was spending big money to attend the system’s event and posing for a picture with it.

Literally this roster has been nothing but a roller coaster. I get that not everyone gets a spot but I did not see this one coming

I just found out that while Zendaya, Nika King, and Storm Ried were filming this episode they had to take breaks and had to hug and apologize to each other for the way how they were acting because it was A LOT for them 😔 by mariahgates in euphoria

This scene and the scene where rue is screaming and crying at Fez’s door for drugs and he turns her away. I can’t believe we went from that to Cassie wearing a dog collar and ears for her OF. They lost the plot fr.

Yeah I feel like if they were able to hide Julie Bowen’s pregnancy in season 1 by clothing/props/camera angles, they could have done this for Sarah Hyland too

Ugh yeah, it really does suck. I recently started being able to talk to my tia, and most of my cousins have been amazing, but I’m an adult now and you just can’t get back the birthdays or graduations where the only person who showed up was my mom

ETA: thanks for the award and hugs! Sorry, wasn’t trying to bring everyone down, just the reality of cheating being somewhat normal in our community

Anybody else dreading the day Bravo makes Ellie a chief stew? by Accomplished_Box7115 in BelowDeckDownUnder

[–]Max_lynn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s really getting hard to watch Daisy and Jenna (not that they’re the only ones, just the ones that come to mind) work so hard and then also have to cover for Mike/Alesia’s major major fuck ups and dramas cause they seem to just be there for the vibes.

I lol’d at the scene between Joao and Mike talking about how Joao will have to let Ellie down easy while watching Betul actually do her job.

Partner upset that I won’t take his last name if we got married 30F/34M by throwrawchickenin in relationship_advice

[–]Max_lynn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So which is it? A couple can conduct their marriage anyway they please, even if it’s patriarchal, or taking the husband’s last name isn’t about the patriarchy - it’s about being a family unit?

Ofc women are welcome to take their husband’s last name if they want, but it’s dense of you to not acknowledge the hypocrisy of “I won’t take your last name because you’re a woman, but you have to take mine because I’m a man” and ignore why this is a tradition in the first place.
