That was a misprint of the copy from the article-Finland skated 10 players at their on ice practice but both the US had all players yesterday and Finland was only missing one!

She's been to 5 Olympic Games, she's the top scorer in IIHF women's history, and she's won two national championships. I find it dismissive of her accomplishments to tie her relationship to her constantly and I greatly dislike referring to real people as a "narrative trope."

Please stop comparing Hilary Knight to men. ESPECIALLY refrain from comparing her to fictional men from Heated Rivalry.

Laila Edwards has become the first Black woman to play for the United States at an Olympic women’s ice hockey tournament.

Edwards has broken a barrier that had stood for nearly three decades since women’s hockey debuted at the Olympics in 1998.

Doing a lot of #digitalhistory at @kzooicms.bsky.social this year! Come hear me speak about Voyant and medieval texts Friday, and monasticism in Scotland and Gaelic Ireland on Saturday, both with ASIMS. Thank you to @medievalmaryq.bsky.social and @megsmith.bsky.social for the opportunities.

Wait that's brilliant I should do that for my comps book list

AJ Brown spent the game channeling the spirit of Nelson Agholor and Jake Elliott can't kick an extra point but sure, it's a Hurts problem.

The first (of many) "final straws" for my left shoulder's labrum was leaning against the wall wrong. Ball and socket joints are a design flaw.

I guess it's time for the Christmas decorations to come down finally then.

We've stopped trying to achieve seven, but for a couple years we insisted as a family that Goldfish crackers and Swedish Fish candies counted toward the seven.

My retired dancer Christmas confession is that the only part of Balanchine's Nutcracker I truly care for is the Adagio from the Sugar Plum Grand Pas. The rest ranges from fine to ugh.

Unfortunately they're both happening which means there's a nonzero chance every team I follow in both sports loses this weekend.

I mean it's very possible he won't. An ACL alone can take 12 months to rehab successfully and he has the added complication of the LCL tear. Saying he'd miss the first half of the season is generous.

He tore his ACL and his LCL-I doubt he'll be back for the first half of the season.

As someone who has had hardware put into her body twice, putting Herbert in is willfully ignorant at best and actively cruel at worst. #MNF

Double check the age on these but the "What Was?" series are nonfiction books for kids with lots of pictures!

Huge congrats to @ceciliajb.bsky.social! Her paper "Ite's Beetle: Gender and Motherhood in the Shifting Religious Landscape of Ireland from the Eleventh to the Thirteenth Century" has won the 2025 EHS Nancy Rupprecht Memorial Graduate Student Essay Prize from the Southern Historical Association.

I love Hurts and Pam is my favorite sideline reporter! It's so clear how much the players enjoy her-Justin Jefferson apologizing for almost knocking her over mid game was sweet.
