There is a player on the LA Queens, Brittany Apgar, who has a limb difference and traveled back to Illinois from receiving her first ever batting prosthetic *today* and is 3-for-3 in her first game playing with one. Incredibly cool.

Bluesky's favorite opera composer [citation needed]. Not tonal, not atonal, but a secret third thing. Posts about music, D&D, and loads of other nonsense. Adequate approximation of a teacher, if you squint | she/her | midwesterner in 🌉
You ever think about the delicate interconnected web of improbable happenstance that brought the people you care about into your life and start crying with gratitude?
WHAT DID THEY DO TO COUNT BINFACE
Bad day at the moon factory.
Alternatives to the "that's my band name" joke format I've been using lately: - I loved her on RuPaul's Drag Race - I think that restaurant just opened in Hayes Valley - That's the title of my YA fantasy novel (especially for "A [X] of [Y]") - That's my favorite unreleased Mountain Goats song
Bet you didn't know that the Little Morton Salt Girl is an immortal being who existed before there was life on Earth.
*when a bus turns into my walk light* that's okay they're very big and need to get somewhere on time on account of all the people inside them *when a car does it* fuck you, attempted murderer
wow i can't believe that mitch mcconnell died tomorrow
Shout-out to every little mannerism we've ever caught from the friends we fell out of touch with. I don't know you any more, but I still use that emoticon. I still half-wink like you did. I still cover my mouth when I talk and eat. I hope you're doing well.
I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
Einstein on the Beach is not only not good, it's also not opera.
Post your hottest music take. Mine is New Order is better than Joy Division.
REDWALL MENTIONED!!! (and also discussed in extreme detail) still no explanation on how they managed to evolve elaborate British-coded feasts
Happy Friday everyone, as promised, here is my personal theory on this. I think Redwall takes place in our world, after an apocalyptic event of the nuclear variety caused rapid but varied growth of all animals, including humans, leading to our extinction and their mental development. Okay? 🧵
Here’s another great baseball name, and older brother of Hall of Famer Honus Wagner, it’s Butts, the third baseman of the Brooklyn Bridegrooms
Excellent baseball player name and photo combination
Opera people, we CANNOT do this. It's like a worse version of the youth pastor meme
“Hello! I am very clever and you are stupid.”
Knuckle tattoo idea: RST LNE (the pinkies have pictures of Pat Sajak and Vanna White)
Starting a new religion on the basis that, when you die, you go to Roku City
Everything from Elon Musk is X and everything from Oprah is O. The time has come for an earth-shattering game of tic-tac-toe in which the loser is destroyed forever
Oh god, now I'm imagining a world with a gritty Prufrock adaptation that results in loser men missing the point and idolizing the main character
Studio execs are going to want to adapt more poems for the big screen now
what fool called it the factory where they make Blåhajs and not the Shark Cutery
kids, i have something exciting to tell you. I just financed a cybertruck through x the everything app. also your mom left
Whenever I encounter the word charcuterie, either written or spoken, I am seized with the overwhelming urge to say, "Ah, yes. Shark coochie." Needless to say I exercised a great deal of willpower last weekend in Napa
salads should be at least 1:1 leaves to Other Stuff, the leaves with garnish blasphemy is a relic of diet culture and we must reject it
I read this poem in the psych hospital and it immediately knocked me out.
somewhere in the void (well-lit), there is a phone that only calls the dead. it is cursed. it is not looking for you. it has already found you. jerry, NO
Unpaid advertisement for @mayakern.com skirts: I transported all the battery-operated candles in this AirBnB to the outdoor dining table just within my skirt pockets. It was this many plus my phone and I probably could have added 50% more
Liberating queer kids from their unaccepting families has always been central to my YIMBY advocacy. It’s why I am so angry that San Francisco has refused to meaningfully grow its housing stock since the seventies.
