Laila Edwards shooting the puck during an ice hockey game. The puck is visible in the top right corner of the goal.

one of the sickest hockey photos I’ve ever taken (2023)

I love her and I think sometimes she doesn’t need to make the extra pass and should in fact shoot the puck

yes even curling like why do they know how to do those angles

empty-netter with the goalie still jumping off the ice is BRUTAL

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.

Want to make a zine in 2026 as a goal? You could start w/a quick+handwritten minizines: only 6 tiny (4.25"x2.25") pages to fill + a cover + back cover (I usually fill w/credit/sharing info). See prompts from thatclowngoddess.bsky.social's Zine Idea Generator or check out @cms.bsky.social's zines!

this was the day @louisbien.bsky.social and I were supposed to go to a basketball game and I had to cancel because I couldn’t sit down without extreme pain

my 32-year-old body decided a weighted blanket was too much heavy lifting and I threw out my back

notes app apologies by christine

I resolved to make more quick/unserious zines in 2026, so here's one:

"notes app apologies," a collection of lines I jotted down in my phone notes last year that did not go anywhere (but still might be something). if you will, it's like a micro-chap but totally unedited! #DHmakes

“weeding is bad but late fines are good” lol I am never disappointed by the energy from non-library workers on this app

Donate to Send Laila's Family to the Olympics to Cheer Her On!, organized by Charone Gray-Edwards and Robert Edwards Laila Edwards is going to the Olympics! On New Year's Eve, La… Charone Gray-Edwards and Robert Edwards needs your support for Send Laila's Family to the Olympics to Cheer Her On!

Laila Edwards' family is fundraising to be able to join her in Milan for the Olympics. If you're able to help or share this, please do.

was telling someone the other day that it’s been great having time off but i cannot wait to get back to the thing that actually grounds me haha we’re fine

four calendar years of asking for one (1) simple feature: letting specifically me and jen co-skeet

this is a Laila Edwards Is An Olympian account now

truly if @cms.bsky.social and I were ever given co-skeeting abilities, it's all over for everyone

being ace rules

I want to write about all of this outside of the data, though, so that'll happen sometime! I'd love to put something out every month of 2026, but we'll see.

also, #DHmakes (for the above thread)

I kept very sparse data, but here are some highlights:

- gender: 213 women, 119 men, 33 n/a
- how I know them (highlights): 130 friends/ex-friends, 81 classmates, 46 coworkers (these were mutually exclusive, so if a coworker became a friend, they were tagged as "friend")
- 343 unsent, 22 sent

welp, that’s 365 letters in 365 days
