Thought I'd take a moment to share my Substack again as more and more people are joining @bsky.app. I write about #NCAAIceHockey, #PWHL, all things footy, and #WoSpo. I also host a podcast where I interview people about their lived experiences with mental illness. Read, subscribe, and enjoy! 😊

Everytown for Gun Safety @everytown.bsky.social · 2d

Just the latest example of the Trump Administration prioritizing the gun industry’s bottom line over public safety. ⬇️

The handout to the gun industry makes it easier for people to obtain silencers, short-barreled rifles, and other NFA weapons.

Can we do the same exile thing to Delulu Don that they’re doing to King Charles’ brother Andrew?!

Make exiling disgraced political leaders great again!

The audio for tonight’s Augie vs NMU game is crackly. Hopefully it doesn’t stay like this all night. 😑 @ccha.bsky.social

It’s time for the @ccha.bsky.social rematch between Augustana and Northern Michigan.

Will the Vikings sweep the Wildcats or will NMU finally snap its winless streak?

Wisconsin’s loss to Minnesota last night must have lit a fire because the Badgers are playing hot in today’s game.

I’m seeing that Texas A&M just upset Texas, making Nebraska the only women’s volleyball program in the country to remain undefeated.

Minnesota hands Wisconsin its first loss of the season in the first game of the Border Battle in Madison. This is the first loss on the Badgers home ice since 2024. The National Champions fell hard tonight, but they won’t stay down, I’m sure.
