Get your colonoscopy, people.

ICE agents are heavily armed, they are violent, and they do this frankly weird thing where they awkwardly make a show of filing protestors with a Sony camera. It never feels safe. But WE ALWAYS COME OUT to witness these fuckers.

This is the scene I was at this morning. I know Minnesotans filming ICE in their bathrobes is becoming a bit of a thing, but after you laugh, let it dawn on you that people here hate ICE so much that we rush out half-dressed to film even when there are already dozens of others doing the same thing.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Hey fun fact my husband posted this how to flyer to Reddit, he's a dreamboat and I love him and ALSO HE'S RIGHT FUCK THIS SHIT RETURN YOUR RING CAMERA Stick it to ICE and Amazon at the same time 🥰💛

That was sick Abbey Murphy holy hell. What a pass and amazing finish by Bilka.

Did they tell the announcers not to talk about the fact that some of the players are married? "Stacey plays on the same line with Poulin on the Victoire so she knows her well." ALSO THEY ARE FUCKING MARRIED!

Turned in the draft of PULLING THE GOALIE and resisting the urge to think about writing anything at least for a little while. Please clap.

My kid’s health class has asked them to count the gambling ads.

Texting my college buddy who is an orthopedic surgeon on a Sunday morning to get a consult on a minor point in my book, as one does.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

The world is bad and last night I watched two high school girls perform Suddenly Seymour together and my little 16 year old closeted lesbian heart grew three sizes.

My wife is doing a read of PULLING THE GOALIE before I submit it and said "I'm really loving this one." She definitely has notes and things she does like but it always feels good when she's legitimately liking a book I write and not just being a nice wife about it.

Anti trans shit is terrible FULL STOP But in hockey this is so fucking funny to me because growing up I a) was often the only girl in the entire fucking league and b) when i played on a girls team 90% of our games were against boys (and we beat their asses)

MLB players: placed on the DL for two weeks with a hangnail Lindsey Vonn: competing in the Olympics at 41 with a ruptured ACL

@leahlitman.bsky.social @kateshaw.bsky.social @profmmurray.bsky.social Have you all seen this nonsense? They put a "submit your deregulatory recommendation" on regulations.gov

NEW: I wrote a little about why I think The Athletic should either correct or retract their puff piece on Britta Curl from December, in light of even more evidence of her anti-trans views. It was a blatant attempt at damage control ahead of the Olympics & The Athletic participated in it.

And sharing this for no particular reason

Oh hey! Look, my next book has been announced. PULLING THE GOALIE features a professional goalie and a Hollywood star training for what she hopes is her breakout role in a biopic.

It is always so weird when my students call me "Professor" I always tell them to call me Kate and I think some of them just default because I am teaching their classes, but it's always weird.

It was "feels like -10" this morning. Running in this kind of cold really sucks. But it also gives a sense of the fortitude of Minnesotans who are out protecting their neighbors in this godforsaken weather.

This is a bill to end democracy.

I hope fans continue to boo her any time she touches the puck.

I'm working from remotely which means I have the luxury of going for my run when it's not dark out. I've been waiting for it to warm up today and it's still "feels like 7" at noon. 0 stars.

I am absolutely getting crushed by work and writing (oh and 30 inches of snow) BUT I wanted to share that I have been sneaking bits of SOON BY YOU by @missdahlelama.dahliaadler.com every chance I get and being pissy when life keeps getting in the way.

More. Keep pushing. This not the time for Merrick-Garland patience. Demand accountability NOW. The page must not turn on this.

The amazing, Minnesota-based non-profit, A Book of My Own, is getting children's books to teachers for students staying home. Donate books or funds at bookofmyown.com.

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Good This is the bare minimum in light of yet another ICE murder in broad daylight

these are the 7 house democrats who voted to give ICE another $10 billion on thursday btw

Two days ago, 7 democrats voted to fund that execution

Libraries are the best. slpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/list/disp...

As a former goalie this brings me so much joy Watching non-goalies getting wrecked trying to do what we do (in soccer, hockey or whatever sport) is never not great

Oh look (hat tip Kelly Farmer), Nat & Darcy on this poll of Best Sapphic Winter Sports Romances You can vote if you feel so inclined! iheartsapphfic.com/2026/01/22/v...

A colleague alerted me to the face that Regulations.gov now has a space to propose deregulation. I know this admin is looking for ideas for how to destroy the country and it would be a real shame if folks filled this with "helpful" suggestions @strictscrutiny.bsky.social

Our patron looking for "Heated Rivalry but lesbians!!😝" should check out Wake Up, Nat & Darcy by @katebcochrane.bsky.social. #AskALibrarian

You can’t fucking reform this shit. Kidnapping a fucking five year old

What a funny coincidence that this is set in St. Moritz which is where I set WAKE UP, NAT & DARCY (which is about two former hockey players (college teammates/gfs turned Team USA/Canada rivals covering the winter Olympics for a morning show).

It was "feels like 3" this morning for my run and I am not sure I've ever run in more layers. I swear I love New England but this cold is really killing me

"Drink whole milk, you'll come in 5th place" is an incredible ad campaign.

Let's fucking go

Today’s the day, sports fans! Out of Our League is now out in paperback *and* audiobook, and @jennifercarolyn.bsky.social and I are so excited that this glorious collection is now more accessible in every way. www.dahliaadler.com/out-of-our-l...

I have hit 90k on this WIP. The end is near and I am so ready to be done with this godforsaken draft (my first drafts are always godforsaken)

I'm curious, does the NFL fine players for putting bible verses on their eye black? www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Bosa brothers went 0-2 yesterday and I fucking love to see it. Enjoy your offseason, MAGA losers
