      My eldest (8) recently got a Monopoly game set and has been enjoying learning how to play, and then ruthlessly beat me the first two times we played!

Finally today I managed to turn the tables and beat him, after a game that looked like it was going his way for the first half. Muahaaha.

      I recently rebuilt my spreadsheet that tracks our monthly outgoings. It calculates your emergency savings, and checks if your spending fits the 50/30/20 rule. Categories mirror Monzo's, so you can cross-reference against your actual spending.

Sounds useful? Clone it here:

      I can't stand how the bullshit around Fever has not only taken the focus away from the talented teammates, like beloved Mitchell, but is causing way more damage, the way the Black women of this league end up shouldering the higher-volume bullshit drummed up by these white woman antics. ā˜¹ļø

      "Cunningham needed the culture war to get on the map, needing it as much as it needed her. ... The result is a star, the latest participant in an old game no more complicated than checkers but far less interesting."
      Sophie Cunningham has been in the league eight years. Sheā€™ll be 30 later this month, five and a half years older than Clark, and for the large majority of those years, sheā€™s been a serviceable, unremarkable player who is a top-notch three-point shooter. She wasnā€™t even who the marketers picked to sell sex to the boys ā€“ the role of the glammed-up, blonde beauty baller belonged to 6ft 4in Cameron Brink. Cunningham needed the culture war to get on the map, needing it as much as it needed her, and all it took was a silly finger-point and being in opposition to someone Black. To the aggrieved whites, standing up to someone Black meant standing up for them. Add transphobia to her portfolio, and the result is a star, the latest participant in an old game no more complicated than checkers but far less interesting.

      I'm on Day 3 of my doing-nothing-but-copy-edit-review writing-cave work period to finalize my second book and I'm fixing up little bits of tone and wording and the absolute best I can do to describe how I know if a sentence needs to get fixed is when it makes my brain itchy.

Language is weird, man.
