i've had nightmares about birds

obviously jason collins’ life was far more than just this singular article but for me personally, it was one of the first articles that i read about coming out and it’s still incredibly inspiring to me.

thinking abt the nba's stance on vampire players and how that manifests in tangible ways. cause my current idea is "they do allow vampires to play in the nba but it was only Recently that they established official safety protocols and accommodations around All That". like up until either the late 90s or maybe early 2000s they Technically prohibited vampire players for Safety Reasons but everyone working in the nba (players, coaches, refs, GMs, etc.) knew damn well they were bullshitting and were willing to let them slide if they're good enough at hoops and know how to behave themselves and sweep all those times where they had to feed off some trainer or video coordinator or even an unlucky human teammate under the rug. maybe there was like a push from the nbpa to include these protcols in the cba and the owners eventually decided "ykw fine. have your shit. just promise not to make us lose money over this 😭"
