5. Breanna Stewart and Marta Xargay
2018 MVP Stewie is in the Wubble with her girlfriend, Marta, a professional basketball player who has played for the W and currently plays in Spain. In addition to adorable photos on Instagram, Breanna Stewart’s girlfriend Marta is posting killer content on TikTok. In one video we learn that Marta kissed Stewie first, but Breanna Stewart said “I love you” first. In another, we watch Marta poke Stewie in the face repeatedly, which is truly relatable content (I am always the annoying partner in that scenario).

6. Chelsea Gray and Tipesa Mercedes
L.A. Sparks guard Chelsea Gray married her wife, Tipesa, last year. I’ve deduced from Instagram Stories that Tipesa is in the Wubble, though the two haven’t posted much content together from within it. However, they make this list because the two are gorgeous and have an Instagram Live show that talks about queer history.

This week’s treat for your eyes: the Chicago Sky
It looks like Megan Rapinoe has been listening to Kate Bush.
thank you for the coverage, i otherwise miss it.
kind of sighing about all the instagram content; now that facebook owns it, they make you sign up for an account to look at posts. those who don’t want to be part of their exploitation structure are out of luck.
also, anyone having trouble viewing page, it may be the tiktok links are drowning your processor/data connection.
WNBA Wubble Couples… wouples?
I’ll see myself out.
I know that Vanderquigs weren’t out in the media before the wedding announcement, but Allie wasn’t exactly hiding the relationship on her social media. Maybe some of it could be hand-waved as “straight women do that with friends sometimes,” but by 2016ish she wasn’t exactly being subtle. Basically they were gals being pals and vacationing together, putting lots of hearts and kisses in captions, etc. Some examples from Allie’s instagram:,,,,, (this last one is from 2018, but 10 months before the wedding). Also sorry that I don’t know how to put link into this in a nicer way.
Anyway I guess their relationship was private, but in the way that mine is. I post pictures of my partner sometimes without a lot of “this is my partner whom I love!” If I got married I might share pictures on social media that would make it very explicit, but it isn’t like it isn’t already public information. The public just doesn’t ask.
Finally, here is one of the first “I’m a gal who sure does like my pal” posts I saw from Allie, posted back in 2014:
Totally!! There are a few other players in those types of relationships (Candace Parker is one I can think of) but I tend not to speculate unless they’ve confirmed them. I probably could have worded it differently, though.
I’m always curious about how others deal with “outing” someone versus the way queer people are expected to confirm relationships that we wouldn’t expect a straight person to. I wrote about how I think about this kind of stuff for LitHub a while back when I was reporting on the queer women who played in the AAGPBL and looking through obituaries and deciding which players to name and which not to:
That makes sense! I guess with some of the posts it seemed to me like it Allie was pretty out about it (thus the links, which are also there because they’re a cute couple). But yeah it’s a strange line.
It’s an interesting issue and I feel there’s a lot of gray area between “out” and “closeted.” Like to me, I would say that AQ and CV were more or less “out” or at least hiding in plain sight before they published their wedding photos; as the above user pointed out, Quigley shared plenty of very couple-y posts on Instagram. Whereas I feel like Parker is more toward the closeted side of the spectrum: she (IMO) mostly presents herself as straight publicly while dropping enough hints, mostly in IG stories, that you can figure out who she’s with if you pay attention. But if you just scroll through her feeds on social media you could easily have no idea.
writingscaresme – I just want to say I appreciate your research and receipts.

… what is the “Wubble”? Wikipedia and googling didn’t bring me further.. I’m sure it’s common knowledge in the US (and elsewhere), but I don’t have a clue. some kind of quarantine thing?
Oh, sorry! It’s the “women’s bubble”/”WNBA bubble” as opposed to the men’s NBA’s bubble. Yes, it’s a quarantine thing that the leagues are doing in order to play this season. All the players had to go through a quarantine process to be there and are tested regularly, and they live on-site essentially creating a safe “bubble” for the players/coaches/refs.
You can learn more about it in my first column from last week!At EduCAMPS we offer private piano lessons for children aged 4 years and over. Adults are welcome too, whether you are an absolute beginnner or wishing to brush up on your skills.
We teach all musical aspects of piano playing including: wrist technique, pedalling, articulation, repertoire choices, aural skills and confidence in performance. If you are aspiring to become a music teacher, lessons can be tailored to teach the the essential piano skills needed for the classroom.
We use fun methods to ensure that all students gain a full understanding of the rudiments of music, thus enjoying reading and understanding music in class. As well as developing their skills practically, pupils or an older age will also undertake a recommended study of Eric Taylor’s Music Theory syllabus which will ensure a deeper understanding of the theory of music. Exams in piano may also be completed.
Each one to one piano lesson lasts 45 minutes.Because that's how you get a bad story. I'm not white. Are you suggesting that I should be loving Gone Home for only appealing to a small portion of its audience? Are you suggesting I should instantly love a story because it involves people of my skin colour? 

That sort of irrational personal bias is ridiculous when judging whether a work is good or not. It's absolutely asinine to say "This story is great because the main character shares a trait with me!"

And, I'm not sure if this was clear, but I found the story to be the *opposite* of engrossing because it didn't do anything more than try to make a single connection with its audience when any competent story tries to make a few.Request a Quote
