a tumblr post that says "reading sports headlines while pretending sports doesn't exist suggests a fascinating world of magic and whimsy" and features screenshots of headlines like "Wolf Enters Transfer Portal" and "Wizards and Raptors Injury Reports"

While the other two professional soccer teams in Los Angeles — LAFC and Angel City FC — have issued public statements in support of the Latino immigrant community, the Galaxy’s ownership has not addressed the issue. Angel City took its support further, wearing “Immigrant City Football Club” warm-up shirts, giving some shirts away to fans and selling more on its website as a fundraiser to support an organization that provides legal support for immigrants. So far, the only member of the Galaxy who has addressed the issue publicly is head coach Greg Vanney. “I think we all know someone who is probably affected by what’s going on, so it’s hard from a human standpoint not to have compassion for the families and those who are affected by what’s going on,” Vanney said before a game against St. Louis City SC in June.

A poster for Walking Shadow Shakespeare Project's Henry the 6th Part 1; it features tons of bright colors like a Lisa Frank style 90s drawing, and a teddy bear with rosebushes growing out of it. There's stuffing and thorns and vines and red and white roses, because this show is about a child king getting embroiled in the prelude to the war of the roses! Sound fun? Come out! The poster also shows that it's happening May 25 at 7:30pm in Pease Park, Austin TX
a photo of Gerry Cheevers' Boston Bruins mask on a black background; if you want to know more about it, highly recommend googling; it's a fun old timey hockey story!

a still from the 1966 Fahrenheit 451 where Mildred's chillin' on the couch watching her parlor walls while Guy Montag judges her, probably, depending on the scene. I haven't seen the movie but oh boy does this quoted skeet make me think of it!
it's a spreadsheet showing austin's shots, shots on target, opponent shots, goals, goals conceded, and points (by year) from 2021 to 2025.
it's a picture of nyjah huston doing a sick 5-0 grind down a long round rail on the street, and i edited it in paint to have a speech bubble where he says "i <3 adventure incorporated podcast!" under that, it says "NYJAH HUSTON APPROVED!*" and the asterisk, in white, hidden at the bottom of the image, says "* - unconfirmed" it's a terrible promo, but idk if anybody else did anything for it.

It's got all the information from the link in this skeet, but w/ a fun blue/purple/green background.
