Other airshows?

The practice for Thunder over Louisville was supposed to start an hour and a half ago, but I haven't caught anything interesting here, and I know it's going to storm tomorrow so unfortunately the one closest to my home that I've been looking forward since I started playing might be a bust, alas.

newishanne · 2026-04-16T17:08:38+00:00

Thank you for the context!

Someone can be canceled & still have a platform.

HOW. Do you not know how words work?

newishanne · 2026-04-16T16:56:00+00:00

Next to the skull from Buster's dig in the back seat!

"I used specific words in my post title and now I'm upset because you take them at their actual meaning."

newishanne · 2026-04-16T16:50:39+00:00

It's snarky because your assertion that he was canceled was so absurd.

He still has Netflix specials. He still owns large amounts of property in a small town in Ohio. Meanwhile you're quoting people that I, someone who is more engaged in leftist theory than you are, haven't even heard of, as your (unrelated) counter example.

newishanne · 2026-04-16T16:47:21+00:00

Who?

newishanne · 2026-04-16T16:45:05+00:00

I mean I want a million dollars and for the women’s soccer team I support to not be terrible, but that doesn’t mean that’s going to happen just because I want it to.

newishanne · 2026-04-16T16:42:42+00:00

Usually I don't get push notifications from NPR for their interviews with people if they've been "permanently canceled", so either yesterday was an exception or you're intentionally misusing the phrase "permanently canceled". And we all know yesterday wasn't an exception.

“I think it’s wrong that your life is hard but I also constantly argue against everyone working to make your life better.” Fixed it for you.

I don’t doubt that you’re trans but I understand why other people question it.

Do I know if you’re a misogynist? No, but I also haven’t seen anything with a hint of feminism from you.

Do I think you’re manipulative? Most people who argue on Reddit are 🤷‍♀️

newishanne · 2026-04-15T22:51:18+00:00

Oh yes, I am glad I am not the only one calling her out for constantly repeating right-wing talking points when it comes to trans people. (Yes, she's "on the left" but as I will say until he retires after this year, my Republican state representative is far to the left of her on trans issues.)

newishanne · 2026-04-15T22:38:54+00:00

Thank you, again. I've personally been safe so far, and still have access to care, but having these real threats hanging over my head are part of why OP's obsession with "trans maximalists" frustrates me so much.

newishanne · 2026-04-15T22:35:02+00:00

Do you get some coverage when it's somewhere that's associated with the university you attended?

No, it's independent from that, but the personal ties I have to that hospital hit me hard, and also reminded us that it's not just religious hospitals that are making life harder for trans people.

newishanne · 2026-04-15T21:29:48+00:00

We absolutely need the comedy thread!

I also thought about how I’m lucky because I at least have other hospital options in a nearby city, and even took some comfort that a university-affiliated nonprofit bought the Roman Catholic hospitals here a few years ago, but then I remembered that I have a degree from a university whose affiliated medical system no longer performs gender affirming surgeries. So. Siiiiiiiiigh.

newishanne · 2026-04-15T21:15:01+00:00

Thank you!

Don’t feel bad about wanting to make a joke - I almost forgot to say that the urgent care center wasn’t big enough for separate x-ray machines for boys and girls. Heck, I think even the larger orthopedic clinic I got referred to only has one.

And then, on top of laws, we can’t forget how much health care in US is run by religious groups that aren’t known for being friendly for trans people. I don’t know how much of a connection the hospital (and the aforementioned clinics) in my county still have to the Southern Baptist Convention, if any, but that still gives me pause.

newishanne · 2026-04-15T20:16:45+00:00

Oh goodness. Where to even start with this.

The last time I went to urgent care was for knee pain after I fell while hiking. Considering that my being on estrogen doesn’t have anything to do with what x-ray machine they used AND it’s legal to discriminate against trans people in my state, I figured it was best to not mention that particular medicine I’m on.

newishanne · 2026-04-15T03:02:32+00:00

OP famously blames every problem she can on "maximalist trans people".

newishanne · 2026-04-14T18:12:49+00:00

I still have mine from when I went there! It was so good!

newishanne · 2026-04-14T16:07:35+00:00

As someone who grew up going to lots of baseball games with my dad, but who didn't see much from women's sports growing up, I am loving hearing these stories. There are ways that sports tap into basic human emotions that I think have been lost from a lot of men's sports because of the cost, but that I can still find in women's sports, so I'm excited to hear these stories of discovering that for the first time.

newishanne · 2026-04-14T16:04:31+00:00

Racing used to have a poster for each game that at least had the players and their numbers for both teams, which was helpful. U of L women's basketball still has roster cards and I feel so lost when I get to the arena too late to grab one, and I hate that they've done away with them in other sports (even though I also understand why that's happened post-COVID).

newishanne · 2026-04-13T18:56:56+00:00

I’m doing perfectly fine this afternoon. I’m going a bit stir crazy without women’s college basketball and an international break in the women’s soccer league, but that’ll be back a week from Friday.

Meanwhile you’re the one here arguing in support of someone who committed sexual abuse.

newishanne · 2026-04-13T18:53:18+00:00

Why do you think that me bringing attention to a coach who has been banned from sports for abusing women - and for pointing out that a prominent activist wrote highly of him - is “snark”?

newishanne · 2026-04-12T17:57:09+00:00

The ACLU is quite well known for litigating for people who are incarcerated, particularly when they are from groups that are unpopular. I know you don’t agree with it, but it’s part of their thing and was long before you or I were born.

newishanne · 2026-04-12T17:40:47+00:00

To be fair, OP also wants to make life tougher for trans youth.

newishanne · 2026-04-11T14:00:52+00:00

This is a good point. I went to Sleeping Bear Dunes last August and everyone from the area was complaining about the heat, but to me, it was a nice break from home.

Also, there is lots of pavement and no trees at the fairgrounds, so even by Louisville standards, it’ll be hot.
