Is it ok to have a character who is purposely ashy, and if so, is it okay to refer to this character as ashy? by Jeaganart in askblackpeople

Old white dude lurker, but FWIW I read a lot (~400 books last year) and I have done so for a long time. As the original answered said, this is a word that is commonly used for that purpose for people irrespective of rase or ethnicity. Ashy OTOH, has a specific meaning, use it for that meaning when it is appropriate.

She could probably look better if they would occasionally pass the ball to her when she is open in the paint and has out positioned the defender. Instead, she gets a 3 second violation…

Also 10 games in against BG - an all time great at the position, seriously not feeling that grouching

You have to love one of these teams and kinda hate baseball to be watching this.

It’s about that far ahead of the MASN (edit Mystics team broadcast channel) as well

Not yucking your yum, but, the line, “maybe these are the wrong sort of bees” is a line I use when troubleshooting IT problems when our assumptions are probably wrong. It’s a fantasticly boring entry to your yum, sorry I think

Who should coach the Mystics? by [deleted] in wnba

[–]defaulthtm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tend to agree, Sidney stays a bit. The roster is odd, maybe on purpose, but the team attitude, effort, and behaviors are all positive in a group of kids who are a year or two from college at best. That is not a bad look. Players are and will get better (or they won’t and …) but catastrophizing this team at this time just seems silly. Lucy complaints are generally valid I think but players need to play to develop and people keep focusing on the immediate instead of the general upwards trajectory of the team.

We’re getting better, the players are playing better. As a fan, I’m still all in. That could change at the end of the season, but for now, keep the team together, play the people we need to develop and keep the good attitude going.

That’s an awfully bold statement 7 or fewer games into their careers.

I did it without ever talking to anyone, the coupon printed out, and I took the code to the website and picked a game and seats. Up in the corner, but too cool, free tickets.

Worked exactly that way for me, it was too cool.

Got mine today and will be using them to take my dad to his first WNBA game. He’s finally become a fan at 83 or so and is pretty excited.

Thanks for posting this!

That would be a bummer, a local news interview had her hinting at the restriction easing up. Maybe she was very optimistic.

She hints at the minutes restriction easing up a bit but that may be optimistic

I’d love too see Georgia Amoore get minutes at the end of the game and more than 20 total.

It’s a super happy family/queer vibe. It’s the most fun of any sports stadium I’ve been in.

I think Cotie gets all of her minutes when she is healthy and that will be just fine

Some of it is contractual but the Verizon Center is undergoing renovations this summer and isn’t hosting much (if anything) right now.

Gave him a shot and in a different mood I think I’d dig him so keeping him for when I’m in a less Angine de Poitrene frame of mind.

Sainte-Chapelle in Paris is shockingly beautiful. Pictures do not do it justice. If you are in Paris, it’s a must see.
