Thank you so much for being here! I am a full-time independent journalist and paid subscriptions to this newsletter allow me to continue to do work like this, as well as support the community that we are building here, which includes events like the book club and our (very active) paid subscriber Discord server.

A reminder that tomorrow, Wednesday, June 15th, at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT, we are doing a virtual author event with Emma Baccellieri and Jordan Robinson, the authors of the new book COURT QUEENS: Celebrate the Players, Teams, and History of Women's Basketball. This event is only open to VIP All-Access and Biggest Fan tier paid subscribers. You can register here.

This month’s Out of Your League Book Club read is HALF COURT SHOT by Kimani Mae, and we’ll be meeting on Sunday, July 26, at 1 PM ET/10 AM PT. That event is also open to VIP All-Access and Biggest Fan tier paid subscribers. A registration link will be sent out this week, so look out for that!

I have something very important that I want to talk to you about today, so please give this newsletter your full attention tysm. This issue is an epidemic in the WNBA, and one that we’ve been talking about for a while now in the OOYL Discord server because we absolutely cannot make sense of it.

What is the problem, you may be wondering? Well, I take great offense to the taste in floral arrangements from WNBA lesbians and I think someone needs to have an intervention with them about it.

Like, what is this? They look like they belong on an episode of “Is it Cake?”
