y'all, I cannot say enough how great of a job Bradford is doing on these stories. it's very detailed, so ofc please read with caution. but as a survivor myself, I truly appreciate the care and effort he's put into the work and centering the survivors here is so key.

hell yeah I've brought out The Haters

what's a random city you have inexplicable beef with?

this is so cool and I'm so flipping proud of Marisa

new blog: I wrote about mortality and a midlife crisis in the desert, all for Rilo Kiley placeholders.beehiiv.com/p/becoming-m...

I'm sure a salary cap will prevent this from happening

it's very possible I forgot I had a ticket to Hayley tonight because I put the date wrong in my calendar

nothing like spending a Sunday realizing you have inexplicable beefs with random Utah towns like a normal, sane person

with carpenter hurt it only makes sense to get workman’s comp

goes to nashville once (1) and then turns giving hayley williams their sword in the beef against morgan wallen a hyperfocus

well we know who Hayley Williams WON'T be calling on when she asks for everyone's swords in her battle against the racist country singer

I will show this man some real trauma and then regret ever using that word

every time I see Kerry Carpenter's name, I think of Kerry Wood and that this is actually just the lumberjack evolution of the Kerrys

this is also probably the first time I have actually written about one of my chronic illnesses. having osteomyelitis and knowing it's a lifelong thing to manage makes you think about life differently. placeholders.beehiiv.com/p/becoming-m...

I ... I can't say I was expecting one of the Brandon Flowers solo tracks to tackle drug addiction, domestic violence, and the predatory male gaze all in one song.

how nice of the Giants to get a tugboat for McCovey Cove [touches earpiece] I am being informed this is not that kind of tugboat

huh

the average american has three friends

THE SPIRIT OF ADELANTO LIVES ON

technically a CD my Catholic school's church choir did before I ever joined it and I don't know why that was the first one in my possession

I was talking to a friend in Scotland who knows nothing about baseball other than what she hears from me and she asked me why baseball attracts so many autistic people and the best answer I could come up with was "have you ever heard of Rube Waddell"

personally very glad that every Killers fan I know is reacting normally to the title of the next Brandon Flowers solo record (Thrasher) which is referencing the absolute worst Killers song ever released www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY51...

That is a very good way to smoke out the racists just by seeing who gets irrationally upset about it

what is happening

#WPBL LA's Apgar posted an update to her video seeking solutions for protecting her nub. www.instagram.com/reels/DYA7bh...

Please, westsiders, I am so, so tired of being represented by this person. I NEED you to vote for @faizahforla.bsky.social (and donate/canvass/phonebank etc. etc.: www.faizahforla.com)

Apgar is on the roster for the Hall of Fame Military Classic in Cooperstown, which is scheduled for May 23.

it does appear that #WPBL Commissioner Justine Siegal is aware of this, however, as she has commented on the reel. I have sent an email to the league asking if the league will be helping her find solutions.

[grim reaper meme] Ted Turner? is [insert terrible person] even in this thing??

A lot of people have already said it, but if you have to have billionaires, better that they be generally benign weirdos that win sailing races, buy baseball teams, marry movie stars, and content themselves to owning 2/3 of Montana rather than being an actual supervillain.

the fuck you mean Primm is gonna be a ghost town

#WPBL Los Angeles centerfielder Brittany Apgar took to Instagram looking for tips, tricks, and resources to protect her nub so it doesn't split open when she's at the plate. www.instagram.com/reels/DX-SfU...

apparently, tonight is Remember Some Sites (Xanga)

Zoog Disney

there is a specific demographic who understands this: The Dugout

this blog is how I found out how Simmons is still deeply hated by everyone

okay! so! I have def talked to folks at an Aviators game last time I was home to get a pulse on things. and here's the big thing: the Aviators play in the suburbs. it's def more of a locals thing to go to the suburbs that are at least 15-20 min away from the strip to see a game.

oh ffs I'm gonna have to get the spam musubi dog for the blog aren't I www.mlb.com/milb/las-veg...

the Yankees have announced they will be wearing a patch to honor the late John Sterling for the remainder of the season

They draft Diego Pavia

alright go: wrong answers only how do the Leafs fuck it up

congratulations to the Toronto Maple Leafs actually winning SOMETHING let's see how they fuck it up

y'all economists have been saying for DECADES now that sports mega events will never bring the impact it claims to have it's always been a lie check the literature read a book maybe

Said it a million times: The scariest thing you can say to any of them folks is "Prove it."

I was a @mccoveychronicles.bsky.social commenter and @grantbrisbee.bsky.social has roasted me for exactly half my life now I can't decide how cursed that is

the fun part is how much the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes have always leaned into its name being the Quakes. the ballpark is nicknamed the Epicenter. the mascots are named Tremor and Aftershock.

I want to see more journalism like this toward billion dollar companies and its' CEOs
