I have no idea how Harlequin managed to fail this badly. My library only has 8 physical copies across the entire system with a long hold queue, and the ebook wait list as of today still has 200 people on it. (Note to self: go cancel hold now that I've bought it.)

Do you have a queer sports fan in your life? Are you unsure what to get them for the holidays? I've got a gift guide full of suggestions, with a focus on small & independent businesses & creators:

Volleyball NCAA tourney starts this week. Let’s goooooo sports.yahoo.com/college-spor...

I went to the morning sessions for the Woodland Park Grand Prix today! It's a massive cyclocross race in Seattle, over 1k participants. A lot of type 2 fun! 😅

I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of Mia Hamant, goalkeeper for the University of Washington women’s soccer team, following her battle with Stage 4 kidney cancer. Sending all of my love to Mia, her family, her teammates and coaches, the UW community, and everyone who knew her. 🧡🧡

Here are quotes from UW women's soccer postgame, as head coach Nicole Van Dyke, senior defender Kolo Suliafu, and sophomore forward Alex Buck spoke to the media. Head coach Nicole Van Dyke honored the Hamant family and shared respect for Montana in an opening statement. #GoHuskies #SeattleSports

If there’s one thing sportscasters love, it’s to actually have spoken with this player yesterday

I wrote about a potential IOC ban over transgender, intersex and DSD athletes and how that ties in with the tragic death of Lia Smith here in the U.S. Mostly, I ask is anyone going to care about those who have been hurt the entire time by this movement?

Hi! I wrote a thing about swimming and trans athletes and [*checks notes*] Santana for @defector.com, would mean a lot if you give it a read

What weird naivete from the Supreme Court today... Why have sex on a passport anyway if not to aid in identification, which now the Court is making harder AND more humiliating for trans and nonbinary people.

NEW: On the shadow docket, the Supreme Court lets Trump resume misgendering trans Americans on their passports, claiming "the government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

FIFA has announced the creation of a peace prize, which it plans to award at the draw for the World Cup on Dec. 5 in Washington. https://to.pbs.org/47LyluB

Your two options are either don't go at all or wear the Los Doyers jerseys

I loved casually following the game IRL at a friend's birthday outing and then coming back to all this!

Proud of all the Angelenos who are like “we needed that” about the Dodgers championship, as if it were rain

Okay this is pretty sweet! (not a Dodgers fan but I'm happy for y'all)

Good morning to everyone with a dog who also does not believe you when you say it’s not actually time to go out.

Hard to believe it's come to this, but here we are. www.startribune.com/they-hold-th...

we did it, everyone. we posted through it, even when it was bittersweet

As called by Ben Shulman on Blue Jays radio:

One last thing: the domestic violence confession that Ausberry sat on and did not report was about an LSU athlete. The football player had harmed an LSU athlete. And now Ausberry is interim AD and overseeing all of athletics and athletes. Ok.

It's hard to shock me these days. But I just read the words "LSU interim athletic director Verge Ausberry" and my jaw fucking dropped. I don't know what else to say but CTRL+F for his name in this article: www.usatoday.com/in-depth/spo...

I find this part of UFA's press release a little funny. watchufa.com/league/news/...

I am so flabbergasted & tearful & grateful & JUST REALLY EMOTIONAL over everything that’s happened around this so-special pup since this saga started on…good god, how was it only Wednesday morning? That it has meant as much to so many of you fills me up to the brim. www.patreon.com/posts/142111...

SHE’S HERE SHE’S HERE I can’t I’m so in love #puppyexpress

Dreaming of what it could be like here if I could get the ultimate and quadball fans over... Maybe a project for 2026 lol. @wuleague.bsky.social you with me??

The NWSL's silence on its gender eligibility approach has invited harassment of players — and now, an op-ed from a current player calling for "a clear standard" to address a problem that doesn't exist. Statements from NWSL, NWSLPA & thoughts from me @theathletic.com www.nytimes.com/athletic/675...

Count how many different stakeholders they're trying to appease with this statement lol

At the finals for USAU club nationals yesterday, the stands were only packed for one game: the men's final between San Francisco Revolver and Chicago Machine. The women's final was maybe half full, and the mixed final was like one third. What gives??

I sat next to ultimate players on an airport shuttle this morning and happened to mention I love to collect tournament wristbands. Immediately one of them gave me theirs! So shout out to Red Tide and Brown University -- your people are good eggs.

Elizabeth Eddy is taking a hardline, World Athletics style stance with this op-ed, where intersex athletes are considered a threat that must be kept out of women's sports. Booooooo. nypost.com/2025/10/27/o...

Eddy has a new teammate who is Black and from Zambia, who is open about being intersex (assigned female at birth/not trans) and people thinking she's male because of what she wears. Between that and them sharing the bench/competing for minutes, hard not to see this as a very mean personal attack.

Food banks are a great example here. Any money you give them is going to go a lot further than it will with you buying items and donating them on your own, because they can buy in bulk with pooled donations

BREAKING! Seven month old dachshund Moka the key to her brother's win at today's men's division final at USA Ultimate club nats, says family of San Francisco Revolver player. Moka is caramel brown and loves kisses. Photos to come.

Side eyeing at calling Krebs' performance last night "a rather stunning lack of production"... I thought she did a lot of solid offensive prep for XIST despite being a huge target of Dragn' Thrust's defense.

Club Championships 2025: Triple Crown or Triple Surprise? (Mixed Div. Final Preview) -> buff.ly/FgXsP0w [Pres. by Spin Ultimate | Photo: @UltiPhotos.bsky.social]

Boston Brute Squad is giving San Francisco Fury their biggest challenge of the entire tournament! It's been over 20 minutes and Fury has only managed to score once. Meanwhile, Brute Squad has put up five points.

I am so tired. Ultimate is fun! www.beyondthebig5.com/articles/day-3-recap-of-2025-usau-club-nationals

Thanks for the heads up on this! I was able to go get her today and the cross-country Bluesky relay, Operation Reverse Oregon Trail a.k.a. The Great Mia-gration a.k.a Floof Ghost Coast-to-Coast, is starting tomorrow!

Reigning national champions Ann Arbor Hybrid are hoping to go back-to-back, but first they'll have to go through Fort Collins shame. in the first mixed semifinal, live on Ultiworld!

The next set of 2024 semifinal rematches in the women's division is live now, Boston Brute Squad taking on Washington DC Scandal! buff.ly/94jhCBD

San Francisco Fury continues their undefeated streak at USAU Club Nats and defeats Molly Brown in the semis 15-9! They'll face either Scandal or Brute Squad in the finals tomorrow.

Good dogs at the USA Ultimate club nationals today!

I know a lot of people talk about "Ken Griffey's swing", "John Olerud's swing" but for my money there is nothing more beautiful than Alejandro Kirk: - 5'7 and built like a Welsh corgi - basically drops halfway into a splits on each swing - each swing is a Street Fighter "Shooooryuken" uppercut

INBOX: The Minnesota Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling in Cooper v. USA Powerlifting, affirming that transgender athletes have the right to compete in sports without discrimination under the Minnesota Human Rights Act.
