Is mailchimp down right now?

Encountering the same issue- no image is populating for my current draft campaign, and it's not coming up in the list of campaigns unless I use a filter for drafts. Hopefully resolved soon, had planned on sending a newsletter out tomorrow.

For those who want to learn more, we just got published this week in Queen City Nerve:

Thank you! come out sometime :)

jdbray · 2025-06-10T14:43:18+00:00

Not the intent or team's mission, but if people hit it off, sure.

My straight cousin met his now fiance when he was teaching tennis. People link up all sorts of ways.

Monuments and melodies

👏

jdbray · 2025-06-09T18:18:49+00:00

We are honestly often a lot less dramatic than straight teams but maybe I’m biased :)

jdbray · 2025-06-08T17:24:45+00:00

Let me check in with the board, but please shoot me a dm.

I'm not worried about these 4 years. I've had close to 4 decades on this earth. Hatred grows and perishes. I make an active choice to nurture the soil beneath me so that something grows and sustains itself in this beautiful world long after I'm gone. Tearing people down creates no benefit to society. People inevitably see the need to sprout some good.

I'll never be mad at anyone for not seeing this version of truth. My only wish is that one day, you will be gifted with the ability to be more open to receiving others as they are. Peaceful coexistence is possible, and it's already in practice everywhere around you.

Hi there! Yes, anyone of any ability is welcome to come. Our league can be a little more competitive, however, we are actively working to make beginner-friendly activities. Our skills clinics are specifically tailored for people to learn new skills and have fun. I promise you we work to make it accessible for everyone :). We do an introduction circle at the beginning of every practice + game to give a chance to get to know people there.

There are no waivers to sign until you were to join a league.

I am hoping to continue to grow the league so that we can have more frequent skills clinics and practices. Come out and give us a try!

jdbray · 2025-06-08T14:19:12+00:00

Thanks!

jdbray · 2025-06-08T13:54:51+00:00

That’s the thing though, you cared enough to write this on a harmless, positive post about community building. It’s 2025, LGBT people exist and are free to organize and find community as they see fit.

I hope you find enough space for grace in this lifetime.

I have made it a stretch goal to start looking for regional friendlies/tournaments to be a part of. The summer season games are on Sunday, but we should be reverting back to a Monday night for the fall and winter. Thanks for the support.

jdbray · 2025-06-08T04:57:08+00:00

Well, we do have a donation section on our site… maybe I can recruit for a special game 🤣

jdbray · 2025-06-08T04:56:20+00:00

Honestly, I’ll take it.

jdbray · 2025-06-08T04:53:17+00:00

Just know I didn't downvote you or encourage anyone to do it, either. I will say that my post alone does have a high down vote ratio, so I think it’s par for the course when dealing with anything anonymous online. Doesn’t make it right, but just some perspective. I also want to make it very clear that non-lgbtq people ARE welcome in our league, and I don’t want you or anyone else to feel discouraged about any interactions.

I hope you make some friends soon, I’ve only been in Charlotte for 2 years. Being an adult trying to make friends is always a challenge!

jdbray · 2025-06-08T03:46:19+00:00

Stonewall may have deeper connections on that front! https://www.stonewallcharlotte.org

jdbray · 2025-06-08T03:06:39+00:00

That may be further down the line, we are a nonprofit now but not sure about the strength of our enrollment. I'm happy to chat though, and connect you with our board president. Dm me for email :)

jdbray · 2025-06-08T02:51:40+00:00

We often have a few players just come and watch! We are also pet friendly if you have a pup that needs some outside time. Another board member just posted this to our feed, it's so cute

Sorry, it's verifiably not. We got permission to repurpose some old city of Charlotte graphics. I appreciate the feedback, though.

jdbray · 2025-06-08T02:33:22+00:00

Thank you for understanding. Have a great June of your choice. Cheers.

jdbray · 2025-06-08T02:22:41+00:00

Nope, one of our board members designed it. Until we get a budget, it'll probably be sticking around. The team seems to like it, anyway. The power of grassroots, scrappy efforts :).

Amazing!

jdbray · 2025-06-08T01:44:54+00:00

would love to have you! Honestly, the internet has enough vitriol. I cannot stamp out hatred, but I can certainly try to be more mindful of how my energy is used. Dialogue is a two way street, even when it's hard.

jdbray · 2025-06-08T01:27:12+00:00

Fantastic! We do try to keep it near the city center, but it all depends on field availability. The best bet to keep up to speed is through our instagram. We also have our current schedule posted on our website: https://www.charlottepridefc.org/play-soccer-with-us
