The one thing I'll say at this moment: #ALeagueOfTheirOwn is not a small or niche show. The audience is domestic, but our understanding is that it's very big. It has outperformed many other shows that have been renewed. Journalists, please stop reinforcing the narrative ...
... That POC/Queer shows are inherently niche or small if you don't have data. That narrative is racist and homophobic and all the other stuff. Please cover these things with some thought and care.
I should have said, largely domestic!
Fascinating to see #ALeagueOfTheirOwn having highest week of online engagement 7 months after release, with no new push from @PrimeVideo. It's beautiful to see new people who continue to find the show. People should be paying attention, this isn't normal. 
Maybe this is also a good moment to post the full version of this quote, which we edited a tiny bit for time and to ... Not be unintentionally very on the nose?

with that, some notes to kick us off!
Man. I was SO wrong about #LeagueOfTheirOwn I have a weird relationship with the movie where I appreciate a lot about it but don't really like it, and I feared this would be the same...also my bar for "too saccharine" and "too earnest" is very low...so yeah, I was nervous...
...but I definitely want to support more great female driven, more queer driven, and more diversity driven content...so it felt like something I should at least try. Also, big fan of Abbi Jacobson and realizing she was not only starring in, but creating/writing was big...
...and...well...I absolutely love it. I'm 5 episodes in & it's absolutely charming and delightful -- emotional but well balanced & genuinely funny. It's honestly just terrific and seeing the variety of queer representation is just...well, soul restoring comes to mind.
We’ve had such an amazing positive first 4 days for the show, but predictably there are some people who are trolling the show and questioning the stories. So I thought it might be useful to post a few articles emphasizing the real history. #LeagueOfTheirOwn
This article is a great starting place for understanding the queer history of the league, much of which is still hidden. narratively.com/the-hidden-que…
Mamie Johnson tried out for the AAGPBL and was run off, very much like Max in the pilot. She went onto to play professionally in the Negro Leagues, alongside Toni Stone and Connie Morgan. beyondtheboxscore.com/2021/2/19/2228…
