anyone have a connection to someone at kickstarter? asking for a feminist sports podcast

This weekend, Wrecktangle Pizza in Lynlake, Minneapolis donated huge amounts of food to volunteers, immigrants, educators, and so on. Today ICE rolled up and fired tear gas outside their door.

HUNDREDS

Sincerely, I think people who write this do not know just how right-wing all law enforcement is at every level.

Hey y'all, the @texasobserver.org is hiring for our David McHam Fellowship for Investigative Reporting, a 1- to 2-year full-time job that's an essential part of our newsroom. The preferred applicant for this round will focus on border and immigration. Apply by 2/6! www.texasobserver.org/jobs/

They could if they wanted to.

Oh my god this lady rules. I love this. Just make fun of these poseurs.

Amira and I went on @kavithad.bsky.social's podcast Sportly and talked for almost 90 minutes about Heated Rivalry, in case that's something you want to listen to: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Everyone has said it but I’m going to say it, too: this is how an abuser thinks and talks.

I realize that every word that comes out of his mouth is outrageous in one way or another but unambiguously framing execution as a legitimate response to disrespect is still noteworthy

it's beautiful to see people so brave all across minneapolis

hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress

This worlds needs a 25-minute video of Ayo and Hudson being absolute weirdos together

someone with a deep knowledge of UT women’s bball, like has a PhD in it even, should write about that 1986 team…

For the record, we saw this shit early in romance, too. There’s a reason @devinharnois.bsky.social had to make a button saying something like “M/M is for gay men, too.”

“Put those glasses back on. We aren’t done yet!” - Madison Booker.

Can’t believe I have to buy this shit so hopefully none of my kids’ classmates get kidnapped by my government.

"If that's not a highlight reel goal I don't know what is" Minnesota's Abbey Murphy beats her defender with a lacrosse move, then slides it over for Bella Fanale to score

Do @jessicawluther.com and @amirarose.bsky.social have more #HeatedRivalry thoughts? DUH. Here they are discussing why it matters that HR is a sports romance, why the hockey matters. For their full discussion of HR: www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8JN...

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

I am NERVOUS about this UT v LSU bball game. Come on, horns!

At a church in Minneapolis that is hosting an anti-ICE singing vigil, which will later process through the neighborhood. They sing: “This is for our neighbors who are locked inside, together we will abolish ICE.”

@natepentz.bsky.social is hella good North Mpls people - thanks for doing this up Nate! 🙏🏻💜

One of my best friends lives less than a mile from the spots where the state murdered Renee Good and George Floyd. Last night she sent me this link, saying this is where funds are needed right now: givebutter.com/H6lQkA

This is heartbreaking. Absolutely heartbreaking.

In the future, please Google FIFA before posting stuff like this

yup. And the ice agent who murdered Renee Good worked for border patrol from 2007 to 2015 right during the time of this study

h/t to my friend Ruth. This is from 2014. www.thenation.com/article/arch...

This is Minneapolis: -drop the kids off for a day with their grandparents -go to brunch with your wife -get a text from neighbors who don’t have enough food & can’t leave home or they might be abducted by fed govt -get groceries as helicopters roar overhead -deliver food & this vehicle passes you

hockey always gets caught pretending about its values !

“They need better training” is just the liberal way of wanting nothing to change but also wanting to feel good about nothing changing

@amirarose.bsky.social and @jessicawluther.com can't stop talking about #heatedrivalry. Here are out top moments from the first five episodes (we recorded before we all went to the cottage). What are yours? ❤️🏒🍆🍑🏠🇨🇦 For our full discussion about HR: www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8JN...

if you're surprised to learn that the Winter Olympics are just a month away, don't worry, you're not alone, the people building all the venues in Italy also appear to be surprised the Olympics are just a month away

Hannity has a Fox reporter in Minneapolis talk to a random protester walking through the city who goes on to spit bars for 2 minutes

good luck to Miami's football team

After she hits her final jump and the beat kicks in, THAT SMILE. Then the old woman dancing with her shoulders in the background. THIS IS FUN

That said, watching this video of people calling agents amateurs for getting stuck on an icy hill in Minnesota is extremely cathartic. bsky.app/profile/notu...

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears: archive.is/ur35j

Surprise! Since it's been a couple weeks since our newsletter went out and because we all need some joy in our lives, here are @jessicawluther.com and @amirarose.bsky.social talking about Heated Rivalry. We want all your HR thoughts! Favorite scene or line???? youtu.be/w8JNXNLLWAg?...

We aren’t even double digit days into this year, my goodness

JG: If that’s what’s beautiful to them, I’m going to be ugly. I love it. Everyone can think I’m ugly, it’s great. Old and ugly and wrinkled. TMC: As I age into that dark night, I think that’s going to be my position. I just refuse. 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/o...

After Minneapolis, now the ICE shooting on Christmas Eve in Maryland is getting some scrutiny from local police: “…county police confirmed The Banner’s reporting that the second person injured in the encounter was already in ICE custody, in one of the agency’s vehicles, when he was hurt.”

These students are being brutally harassed by their government and still showing more bravery and integrity than most college presidents.

Apparently one of the victims had to call for emergency help after he had been shot by CBP. A SHOOTING VICTIM HAD TO CALL FOR HELP…Because CBP didn’t?! What the hell is going on.

What a world we’ve built. Getting emails like this… I don’t have words.

HARD KNOCKS by me (Ruby Lang) has hockey and is written by someone who's Asian Canadian (and has an Asian Canadian FMC) rubylangwrites.com/practice-per...

A perfect, simple food: roasted chick peas

Everyone’s been doing hockey romance recs — and good thing! — but I’d like to also take a moment and point out that there’s a ton of great Asian-Canadian contemporary romance writing happening right now too!
