Sidepocket from the main narrative to read Qwill's side project. Super quick, one day read. ❤️ #LibrarKay

25 aaaand... my bad. I actually started this last week, but forgot to post. Either way, adjusting "finishing the series in a year away from 'calendar' year to '365 days from starting book 1'..." #LibrarKay

Here is a kitten. She wants you to take a deep breath. There’s a lot of smart people who have good ideas about how to harness the outrage & dread and put it to work. Direct action, community outreach, mutual aid, calls to your reps to demand impeachment. For now, breathe. Then go fight fascism.

Probably not going to finish this series before 2025 ends, but who knows. Beginning 24 of 32 with a pretty light schedule from now to NYE, so... 🤷 #LibrarKay

Where did the time go, 2025? Rounding the corner to the end now. 23rd book of 32, (that's if I decide to read the last one, which some people say ends... jaggedly? Braun never got to finish the last book before her passing in 2007, soooo... 😕) #LibrarKay

Folks out there using the phrase "men's NWSL" to describe the boys' league? Keep it up, legends. 😁 #NWSL

22, reading by late night book light... ✨🌕🐈‍⬛ #LibrarKay

21 on... 🐈‍⬛ #LibrarKay

What in the NWSL nonsense. 🤦 We've hit a new accomplishment! BOTH teams mad for having a disallowed goal... within 30 seconds of each other. #NWSL

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Or maybe we could just... not speculate? Yes, goalkeepers go down a lot when they have busy nights. There's a world where that's strategy, (I'm not naive) buuut I would also like everyone who criticizes them to try stopping a world class blazing shot or two. Then we'll talk. #NWSL

The little signs sure were having a party in that first half, eh? ... that's... that's not where those go, AI... #NWSL

Well, this is maddening. What am I paying you for again, ESPN+? 🙄 #barclayswsl #nwsl

Ohhh they did NOT just run a recruitment ad for ICE in the middle of my #NWSL ... 🤬

Back on the #LibrarKay after a bit of a break. 20 deep now. 😯 (... it seems my next read with Qwill, Koko & Yum Yum will be... holiday-themed?? 🎄🏖️ #isChristmasinAugustathing ?

Ultimate Sunday scaries. God, what even was that... *sigh* #NWSL

Announcement in the stadium that warm ups can begin again. We are re-entering! #NWSL

Sports Illustrated Stadium now entering our Wedding Reception era... "Macarena", "Cha Cha Slide" and a brief interruption to update us all that... there is still lightning in the area. No return to play time set as of yet. #NWSL

On the flip side, they're playing CCR's "Who'll Stop the Rain" at the stadium rn. Points to the DJ. #NWSL

Major lightning strikes around the stadium + downpour. This delay is going to lengthen... #NWSL

Is there a reason these announcers are absolutely pretzeling themselves to avoid saying Mal is pregnant?? "New phase of your life", "making preparations for other things." It's absurd. I know we're on CBS, but... seriously...? #NWSL

19 second half. No take backsies. Final score from my completely superfluous activity: Dellacamera v Lou-ee-ville = 27 Good night. Drive safely. Tip your servers! #NWSL

"Foul from Fischer." "... shocker." Loyden, you legend. 😶😆 #NWSL

I've been playing a little game all season long: quietly correct JP under my breath every time he says "Lou-ee-ville" (vs "Lou-ville") Tonight, I decided to track: Got up to 20, but he actually got it right twice, so... adjusted to +18 at half. Alright, Dellacamera... Second half. Let's go. #NWSL

Word spreading in the stadium that Danielle Chesky is in the VAR room and, suddenly that call makes all the sense in the world. 🤬 Fire. Bad. Officials. #NWSL

Ahhh, yes, the consistent way we inconsistently call that kind of contact in this league... 🙄 #NWSL

Well, that sure is... a long and winding compounded compound sentence I perceive you necessarily made out of necessity. #NWSL

"Don't jump to the worst case scenario!!" ... You're new here, aren't you? It's always worst. Al.ways. #NWSL

19... 😼📸 #LibrarKay

Oh, @artbutmakeitsports.bsky.social ?This is begging for it 😆 (if there's something that fits... 🤔)

Luxuriated a bit over the last one, knowing it was Grandma's last. 💔 30 years this Tuesday. Time to start in on the books she never got to read... #LibrarKay

But as a CapDist 518 native, my joy has been listening to this very Celtic announcer's pronunciation of "Albany". 😏 Also GET IN, BETHLEHEM!!! Scotia says ATTA GAL, CLAIRE. 💪👊 #NWSL

The... camera. She's not usually THIS high up for Spirit games, is she?? 😵‍💫 #USAvCAN #USWNT

Good night for stripey kits, I see. 🇺🇸 #USWNT 🇨🇦 #CANWNT (That Tim Horton's vibe, man. You'll never convince me it's not intentional. 😏)

I have just discovered that the key to the men scoring goals is for me to switch over to check in on the #USWNT pregame. 2/2 so far. Can she make it 3....

17... The last one I remember Grandma reading in the spring of '94 before her diagnosis. 💔 Honestly can't recall if she finished it. But I will. #LibrarKay

16 🐾🐈 #LibrarKay

Number fifteen in the series and starting to get a little sentimental... Once I pass the 1994 publishing date, I will be beyond the books Grandma was able to read before her death in '95. Doing it for her... ❤️ #LibrarKay

And you absolutely KNOW he would be screaming bloody murder if this were a reverse scenario. Hypocrite. Just because it benefitted your team today doesn't mean it was right. There's nothing "brave" about today's officials. #NWSL

Firing Danielle Chesky needs to be a priority for league integrity and, most importantly, player safety. Week after week of rule book defying, biased calls. Refs who make themselves the main character of every match they officiate have no business working any level, but esp not for the pros. #NWSL

Hmmm. Cards to Gotham players, but just stern "stop being naughty" chats with KC players. Cool, cool. Chesky game. Fsking Chesky game.... 😬 #NWSL

And now... 14. 🐈 #LibrarKay

Heh. Welp. Blink and you find yourself 13 books deep in the series... #LibrarKay (I get it, Grandma. 😊 30 year belated apology for thinking it was a little weird how addicted you were to this series... 🐈)

Sooo. The part where Giraldez only wants to coach in leagues where he can be guaranteed runaway victories is... a look. Though I'm trying to decide if it's a worse look than "league thinks abuse-enabling predator is best choice to build new expansion team." Busy one yesterday, #NWSL... 🙄

Holiday weekend of book reading means already moving on to: #LibrarKay

Aaaaand... Second: #LibrarKay

Holiday weekend double play... First: #LibrarKay

Guess it was a night for nonsense all around, eh #NWSL? Better see a big, fat suspension from this. Stupid, overt, violent.
