Oh good god I hate that. Jun... 🥺 💔 #NWSL

THE OG CUP GLARE!! We are blessed by the cameo of a true legend tonight here in Sandy, Utah... #NWSL

Welp, that was an interesting month's vacation in the boys playing well...ish. Now, back to our regularly scheduled USWNT life. 👊

Yeah, that move didn't go great for AKB this week either... ... and I still trust her more.

Lots of gross, mixed feelings about how this has been ruined... BUT I do know one thing: None of this is Balogun's fault. And the way he has been made a lightning rod for hate in so much of the discourse the last 48 hours is shameful. Come on, boys. Let's shut out the noise and just friggin play.

Paws-a de hidratación 💦 (in vintage NWSL cup for that ol' Yurcak Field zing)

Ahhh, Chicago crowd. Bless. TEQUILA!! #NWSL

Me, when people decide only NOW to be up in arms over FIFA corruption:

I keep saying this. I don't care if it's some random odd-numbered "nobody celebrates that" year either. Gimme a big ol' happy 257. I'll take it. In fact, it might even be more fun.

Welp. It was a nice tournament. (Bonus hidratación...)

Pausa de hidratación.

Found a vintage 1975 edition of Salem's Lot at the local library. So vintage, in fact? It's dust cover has been lost to time. 🫥 Fortunately, photo editing makes thus a more visual post (with actual reality pics attached for tax). #LibrarKay

... wowww. Welp, boys... don't know what to tell ya. USWNT would never.

After waiting nearly 8 weeks for my interlibrary loan request to fulfill... Back to the expanded universe of Hawkins. #LibrarKay

Okay, Gotham. I take it back. I take it ALLLLLLLL back. 😭🥰 #NWSL

As a Gotham FC fan, I would like to thank Angel City for pulling the chaos card and making me feel better about the state of my own club's direction and trade decisions... 😵‍💫 (tho, also... cripes Angel City fans... I'm sorry...) #NWSL

Happy Pride, ya'll. 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 #LibrarKay

Friendly.

Riot gear, eh? Get home safe, gals. We definitely CONCA-CONMA-FBOWL-ED our way through that one. #USWNT

11 yellow cards. At least 5 red. And the question we find ourselves asking: was a game of soccer EVER actually played tonight?? #USWNT

Marta v Sonnett. For the lore. #USWNT

Ahhh. And now some drone-induced vertigo to go with my game-induced frayed nerves. Yum yum. 🤢 #USWNT

It's... THE ARTS. #USWNT

Pfffft. Get up. Cry baby. #USWNT

Have to think back a good, long way to recall a match this unhinged. Zero possession. All fouls. Straight MMA moves out there right now. #USWNT

Confession: I've been two-fisting (... Oooo... 🫢) my Stephen King. Haven't finished Doctor Sleep quite yet, but that didn't stop me from diving in for a short story or two. #LibrarKay

Joke. Absolutely not a PK. #concacafw

So far we've had a cleat to the goalkeeper's head and a full forearm to the friggin' neck. Gonna call something on CA any damn time soon, ref?? #NWSL #ConcacafW

... and then he wrote a SEQUEL, you say? Alright. Let's check in with Danny, then... #LibrarKay

Welp. Frankly, if Gotham thinks this will improve attendance (dubious)... do you, boo... But that shiny new 5 year STM price lock just came across as a HUGE bait & switch for us here in NJ. Also a super dicey PR move from a club that has already broken trust with it's fanbase REPEATEDLY. #NWSL

(Guess this is a) Hot take: verbal abuse of the ref from a head coach can/should result in disciplinary action. That can take the form of red cards & one match suspensions. Yes, even when it affects YOUR coach. #NWSL

King is one of those authors I know well, but realized recently it's not necessarily because I have actually, y'know, READ much of the original books. Changing that. 📖 #LibrarKay

So. Damn. Excited. for Reiten at Gotham. 🦇 🩵 #NWSL

So, I see Emma is being assisted by Denise Reddy and... is that... [*squints*] Steve Harrington? #USWNT

Another Stephen King because... why not? And why not an absolute classic like... #LibrarKay

... it'd be cool if we could watch, y'know, the GAME happening... #USWNT

Ooof. Bring back the pinstripe blue kit. And the old font. This "stars" kit just looks... cheap? And that weird bunching at the shoulders makes it look ill-fitting as well. 🫣 #USWNT

Obviously written waaay before the later seasons, but a fun little EU exploration of Terry Ives and the unfortunate entanglement with Brenner that led to Eleven... #LibrarKay

By my count there are... 4 left black leg sleeves on the pitch now? I know. Not earth shattering reporting. But the specificity amuses me. #NWSL #LoveLaughLeftSleeve

In honor of 40 years of "Stand By Me" (and finally pivoting #LibrarKay away from an exclusive diet of Siamese cats and cozy mysteries...) #TheBody #StandByMe

Ooof. Not NWSL+ comms mixing up Dudinha and Ludmilla... 🤦 Did ya'll know *Dudinha* played with Chicago last year??

When the day was crap and your team isn't helping matters... 😑

Coming in just ahead of the "365 day" mark: 32/32. Wrapping up this lovely, cozy little series where I started a year ago- early spring, cuddled in a blanket, solving crime with a magnificent, mustachioed journalist + his two Siamese, Koko & Yum Yum. Cheers, Quill. Thank you, Lilian. #LibrarKay

Okay, who hexed the Cascadia?? Actual game, broadcast, ALL of it. (I especially love how it's pretty clear they're completely clueless in the broadcast booth as to what just happened...) #NWSL

Penultimate. 31/32 #LibrarKay

30/32 🍌 😻 #LibrarKay

Ahh, yes. Of course. Trinity Rodman is (*checks notes*) "Greenland"... ... toooootally had that on my 2026 #NWSL Bingo Card...

Gobble, gobble... 29/32 #LibrarKay

Last side quest of the series. Pure fun & feline hijinx... the kind of thing an author can happily indulge in for her readers after cultivating a narrative world over 30+ (😱) years. #LibrarKay

Closing in on the end rapidly now... 27/32. #LibrarKay
