Today #Google "celebrates" #BubbleTea (aka #boba) with an interactive #GoogleDoodle about the drink.
I'm guessing it sidesteps the fact that the name "boba tea" (and thus the bowdlerization "bubble tea") comes from the large breasts of the anime characters that boba joints would put on the cups' plastic covers, which drove the drink's popularity in its native Taiwan.

Damn. #TacomaStars came way back to tie with 12 minutes left. Tacoma 7 - 7 Empire

The root cause of homelessness is lack of housing. It really is that simple. Build more housing. Build apartment buildings with single room occupancy, low rent, and supportive services.

Hmm. Let's say you run your own solo #mastodon #instance. Your #federated #feed will be limited to the instances of people you #follow.
But what if you made a dummy unused account on your instance that simply followed a person from every notable instance?
As I understand it, that should greatly broaden the net for your federated feed.

In other news: #SoundersFC #AllianceCouncil (fan advisory group) has joined #ECS in opposing the #Sounders - #Providence sponsorship over issues with Providence's anti-#choice, anti-#trans, and anti-poor practices, calling it a "seemingly profound disconnect with the club’s organizational values." #seattle https://soundersalliance.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/alliance-council-statement-01.23.2023-2.pdf "
religious healthcare vs sports
BIG feels about #sounders taking a catholic health care company as their jersey sponsor. Yay, they're local. But I have a uterus, and a desire not to die of mishaps related to it, because of someone else's religious beliefs. I stopped going to swedish when Providence bought them, I won't wear their logo now. :| #ssfc #ebfg #mastodonFC
