Real Headline: "WNBA team reveals new 'non-binary' turtle mascot to taunt Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham"

Is the WNBA okay?

If you're wondering "How is that even a turtle?," there is a shell you can barely see on its back like the shield of Captain Trans America.

As many are asking: Isn't this grooming? Yet another clear attempt to appeal to childish minds.

The Toronto Tempo debuted a new "non-binary" mascot ahead of their WNBA matchup with the Indiana Fever in an apparent swipe at controversial star Sophie Cunningham.

The Tempo revealed Dez, a butch, non-binary Borealis Blue Snapping Turtle who uses she/they pronouns and "has a fondness for soft shell tacos," the team said in an Tuesday announcement unveiling the new mascot.

Sometimes I make up fake quotes and stick them in the quote box as a joke.

This is not one of those times. This is real.

Dez also has a partner in crime, anthropomorphic arctic hare named Dot who uses standard she/her pronouns.

Dez is a Taurus, the team made sure to include in its announcement.

It joins the Seattle Storm's Doppler as the only two non-binary mascots in the WNBA.

The Tempo made a point to announce the new, queer turtle totem during their home game against the Indiana Fever -- and their guard Cunningham who has been outspoken about defending girls and women's sports from transgender athletes.

The Fever beat the Tempo, 101-95.

Cunningham scored 13 points on 3-of-4 shooting, going 3-for-3 from behind the arc while snatching two rebounds and dishing out two more assists.

Hello! Happy Monday!

I have a crow update: the crows returned IN FORCE. I'm not sure why they disappeared or why they came back. I did put out some old cheese and ham that had started to turn and I was just keeping for them.
