After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

Mo'ne Davis spent years telling people that she was done playing baseball. She did not want to be forever defined by what she did as a 13-year-old in Little League, a decade ago, and she did not feel like there was space for her to do much else. And then she felt differently. On Davis and the WPBL:

AO3 is also down, so between the two our whole acronym is affected

when will the lesson finally get learned? #cloudflare

chatgpt is down, post handmade em dashes

Every other day I wake up and half the internet is down

the cloudflare outage knocking out down detector is a pretty great bit

whenever the sun sets at 4:45 pm i open a window, lean out and yell "WRONG" as loud as i can. that usually buys me another hour or two of sunlight

now seems like a great time to mute "nuzzi" before I actually figure out who that is and why she's the main character of the week

Springfield, Illinois?? 😭 Who wants to take a roadtrip with me this summer to go watch some women's baseball?

why do things like this never happen to me

Sitting here patiently waiting for this LIDOM game to start and suddenly it's in a weather delay smh

I told a couple of my college student co-workers that I'm 28 and they started calling me Unc which turned into Uncle Ben and anyway, I think I've officially been pushed over onto the "Millennial" side of the generation cusp

Yeah, I got ADHD Ahhhhhh Dis Head Dontwork

Feels like it should be bigger news that a journalist known for being loud about her investigations into banks/payment processors appears to be getting financially stonewalled by the entire industry unaminously right now.

Even though this kind of makes it seem like Yamamoto just adopted Carlos, he actually got him in August 2024--and, as it turns out, Carlos fended off burglars at Yamamoto's house this past July. A tremendously good boy. www.nbclosangeles.com/news/sports/...

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"

Dvorak, my guy!!

TRY TRY TRY | THE PHILADELPHIA SOUND 01

do you know WHY actors and athletes are so well compensated today that it’s hard to look at them as “labor” because they organized and negotiated for it

What vice does Philly get? (if your answer has anything to do with batteries or santa, you're banned for being uncreative and boring)

well that answers literally my only question

im taking a course at the community college to become a hater

If I'd just become the trans masc Brianna Wu, I'd be creeping up on my ten years of service time by now

This is f’d as are certain comments rationalizing in “I shouldn’t have to stop b/c of others bad decisions.” The problem is addiction & accessibility. Less accessibility to gambling isn’t going to kill anyone. This likely will. Individualism at a detriment to society is bad for everyone.
