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! 😊

Just the latest example of the Trump Administration prioritizing the gun industry’s bottom line over public safety. ⬇️
ATF to End Police Notifications for Deadly NFA Weapons
The handout to the gun industry makes it easier for people to obtain silencers, short-barreled rifles, and other NFA weapons.

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