Morning Brew – Megan Rapinoe has to sit out from soccer after she tears her ACL

Good morning!

Thank you to all of you who supported a lesbian or bi-owned business over the weekend for LezBiBuy. Fostering our community is so important, and I hope you’ll all continue to try and seek out LGBT women’s spaces in the future.

Also, a note to you SwanQueen fans who have been continuously asking for interviews, we have put in a request with the network but are still waiting for any kind of confirmation. As you know, interviews with anyone (ever!) are not guaranteed as they have to go through multiple channels before they can happen. So while we try our hardest to secure them, we can never (and have never) promised that they will come to fruition. All we can do is ask and hope we are granted them. Thanks for your understanding.

In some sad news, Megan Rapinoe tore her ACL (for the third time!) while training with the USWNT in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Here’s hoping she can recover quickly enough to make it back for the 2016 Olympics. (Julie Foudy thinks she can!) Here’s what Megan said in her statement:

I want to thank my teammates and the staff for the amazing support I’ve received so far. I know I’ll be in the best of hands moving forward and I’ll be doing everything I can to get healthy as soon as possible. This is obviously a very difficult time, but I do feel super confident in my recovery as I’ve gone through this before and I know what the process will be like. I want everyone to know that I’ll be fine, and that I’m currently accepting any recommendations for TV shows to binge watch and great restaurants that deliver in Seattle. I’m also going to get really good at FIFA 16.

We’re pulling for you, Megan!

ICYMI, Kate McKinnon continued her reign as SNL‘s MVP this weekend, especially in this “Close Encounters” sketch. (Boob touching a bonus.)

A new dual biography of Marlene Dietrich and female filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl, Dietrich & Riefenstahl, and here’s what the New York Times review says of Marlene’s well-known interest in women:

Both women engaged in a lot of sex. Riefenstahl played out a string of men. Dietrich was bisexual, and many of her love affairs are famous for her comparably famous partners. I could name-drop some examples here, but I won’t; you’ll have to find out for yourself. Which is to say, Wieland’s weirdly thorough job of naming names has an inadvertently tonic effect: I. Don’t. Care. And I especially don’t care after reading that, in comparing two of Dietrich’s bedmates, one lover’s “brawny female physique contrasted sharply” with another’s “feeble-looking male body.”

Another book that could be worth reading: The Adventures of Holly White and the Incredible Sex Machine by Krissy Kneen.

If you liked Emma Donoghue‘s novel and subsequent screenplay Room, you can go see the small space erected to shoot the film in when it opens to the public in Los Angeles. Over the weekend, the film won Best international independent film at the British Independent Film Awards.

I love Rachel Maddow‘s new promo and that conservatives are upset she’s referred to a news anchor.

Indian actress Khushboo Kamal will play a lesbian in Savdhan India — India fights back. The plot “revolves around a lesbian couple who wants to stay together. But one of the girl gets married and she is unable to stay happy with her husband.” And then….MURDER. (Obviously.)
