Every girl has had the experience where a creepy guy asks for our number and we don’t want to give it to him, but we also don’t want to get gutted in a back alley. “Give him a fake number!” I hear you call, okay and then he says “okay let me call you real quick!” Because they are learning. “Give them your number and then block them!” Okay and then they can plug it into something like Spokeo, pay $10 and know everything about you. So what do you do?

First pick a fake name, I use Jessica, then download the Google Voice app, hook it up to your email, pick a number, and set up a fake greeting with your fake name. You can set it to ring your actual phone like a normal call or text but they don’t have real info on you.

Go forth and don’t get murdered, ladies!

trying to watch chelsea v reading bc of sam but i didn’t realise fa player only had audio in australia and now i’m just listening to commentary 😭

[raso-ribbons]

if my fifa mobile games had commentary:

commentator: ‘another unnecessary, pointless, reckless, and horribly timed failed slide tackle results in another yellow card for the perpetrator, forcing him to leave the field early for the 27th game in a row’

It’s New Year’s Eve in Australia! Today on the 31 December 2019 in Australian news:

4,000 people forced to shelter on the beach during midday daylight hours as the fires surround them in Victoria. The fire has since passed the beach but many homes were lost and they are still stuck on that beach.

Some families took boats to the water for safety:

The near entirety of east gippsland was evacuated on Monday and many areas remain inaccessible. That’s 30,000+ locals and assorted tourists

Similar evacuations play out in Nowra, NSW with the local population evacuating to the beaches as the skies turn black (it’s 4pm!).

and again at Bateman’s Bay…and again and again across the country.

The extent of the fires is creating dry thunderstorms - all the risks of lightning and none of the benefits of rain.

Sixty fires started today, adding to the two hundred that started on Monday. This is a map of all NEW fires in the past 24 hours

The Mogo zoo had to evacuate - thankfully the animals survived the immediate fire. People fleeing Mogo were cut off by the fires from the evacuation centres

Even those not directly in the path of the fires are experiencing the effects of the smoke as it drifts across town and effects health.

All these photos and snippets are from 31 December 2019, one day on Australia. There are more, but I’m getting depressed looking at them, trying to decide what tumblr would find interesting to share and raise awareness versus what won’t. Not a judgement call I like making.

It’s currently 6:30pm, so there’s still 5.5 hours left of this day for more to come. These fires are still going and the people in these photos are still not safe.

You can see before/after photos here.

Australia is only four weeks into summer (”fire season”) but the bushfires began 16 weeks ago - in the second week of spring.

This year’s season of extreme bushfires is not normal.

W-League!!!! 

I made this primer to (hopefully) encourage NWSL fans to get into the W-League this season! Pick a fave team or two (I’ve been a Western Sydney Wanderers fan for two seasons now) or just follow your fave nwsl players and dive in!

note: all information is accurate to the evening of November 11th, any signings after that are not included in this primer. there may be mistakes beyond that, I’m only human and accurate sources for w-league are lacking.

There’s also a fantasy league! Go here to see my post explaining the fantasy league, how to join, and what league(s) to join!

If you want somewhere to talk about W-League (as well as woso in general), you can join the WoSo Discord! (link here)

If you have any other qs, feel free to ask!!

She didn’t have to go that hard! And yet she did!

Hey Hinkle! You cannot go around being homophobic and expect no repercussions! Women’s soccer is one of a few truly open spaces for gay women and your shitty opinions will not change that. Fuck right off.
