Folks, @valkyriesbeat.bsky.social is *so close* to 1,000 subscribers. Would love to get there by the end of Pride month if you haven't subbed yet. Getting that number after 3 months as an indy women's basketball site is HUGE

With the No. 4 pick, PWHL San Jose selects Laila Edwards.

What a tremendous first ever draft pick for the new team.

“what are your pronouns?” - rigid, unmoving, exclusive

“what pronouns can I get started for you?” - fluid, welcoming, open to growth and evolution

I don’t usually campaign for awards, but this year I’ve decided to go for broke for a Fan Writer Hugo Award. Yay me!

Nominations are now open for the 2026 Hugo Awards!

Emails are going out to eligible nominators (those who became a member of LAcon V by January 31, 2026, or were a member of the Seattle Worldcon 2025) about how to set up their LAcon V virtual convention account.

my “journalism” “career” started just like this and lasted from 2012 to 2021 and the bookends of graduating from college into all that and COVID were pretty perfect, almost scripted
It does feel like we're in a repeat of the post-recession media world — a moment when journalists who expected/needed to get paid found it impossible to find work but hundreds of new writers (including me) found their footing *by writing for free* (I hate this scenario even if it was my entry point)

I was among the layoffs at The Washington Post today. It has been an absolute dream to be a small part of this incredible team. Covering the Caps has been an honor; being a beat writer is an all-consuming thing that I love deeply. I hope I’ll get to continue that in whatever is next

I was among the many sports reporters laid off by The Washington Post today. Feeling a lot of gratitude for my time working for this paper.

Not looking back. Looking ahead to what’s next!

I was laid off by The Washington Post today. This is gutting for our readers and our section, but I’m grateful for the 4 years I had to cover sports alongside friends and legends.

my 32-year-old body decided a weighted blanket was too much heavy lifting and I threw out my back
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.
