One of my favorite presents ever—my dad found and framed this pic of my mother @sunminkimes.bsky.social at a Seattle courthouse after she passed her US citizenship test in 1981. Like so many of the people who come here to start a new life, she is the best of us—the bravest, strongest person I know.

cuteness overloaded

this match is much tougher than I expected emotionally

In honor of the season starting today, I’ve updated my NFL STARTER PACK. Even if you already subscribe, re-subscribe bc there are a ton of new names—beat reporters, bloggers, and great posters. Please share here and everywhere! bsky.app/start/did:pl...

I found my baby

*Record scratch* *freeze frame* yep that's me What a freakin thrill it was to join the (super kind and funny) ‪@latenightseth.bsky.social‬ on his show tonight. Please tune in if you are staying up late--12:35 am ET on NBC

FYI

I’m not quite used to this yet, but it’s time to support MLS!

I think this makes sense for him to move to LAFC. LA is a small Korea and the population of Koreans in LA is about 330,000. I wish him the best whether he stays another year at Tottenham or moves to LAFC. He is a Tottenham legend and the Tottenham nation will miss him dearly if he leaves.

My husband—who normally produces pop/dance music—put out his own experimental album today. If you like strange, beautiful, and strangely beautiful sounds you may enjoy. I am very proud of him so please share! @nicksylvester.bsky.social smartdumb.lnk.to/StereoMusicF...

so very proud of you

I am proud of my countryman, Bong, Joon Ho who directed the movie “Parasite” and more importantly he supports Premier League football club Tottenham

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

I’m doing a fundraiser over the next 10 days to help the SELAH Neighborhood Homeless Coalition, a nonprofit based in LA, save its mobile shower program. More info below but—if you donate enough, I’ll send you a video message or a custom painting like this one. Please share! gofund.me/f7cc66ff

how it started how it’s going

Mariners fans! My interview with the great CAL RALEIGH is out now..... We discussed the MVP race, how he's evolved as a batter, breaking the drought, robots and more! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIyR...

the very quirky British crime show “Dept. Q”based in Edinburgh, Scotland is surprisingly good. the brash main detective with two misfit assistant detectives are funny and unconventional thinking outside the box. created by Scott Frank who also directed “The Queen’s Gambit” - it’s a 9 part series.

🔱 AHOY, SAILORS! 🔱 @minakimes.bsky.social joins the show to discuss: - Saying goodbye to 'Around the Horn' - The similarities between the #Mariners and Seahawks - Ty and Colby's dynamic?! - And more! 📺: youtube.com/watch?v=31pH... 🎧: linktr.ee/lockedonmari...

GUYS NFL LIVE JUST WON A SPORTS EMMY FOR BEST SHOW IM AT HOME SCREAMING

Crystal Palace beat Manchester City today 1-0 for the FA Cup final and this is their first ever win - congratulations Eagles!

Travis Hunter has one of those smiles that makes you smile when you see it. Would be really cool if he becomes a joyful face of the league type player.

Happy Mother’s Day to my hero @sunminkimes.bsky.social

WOW

I am truly proud of you @minakimes.bsky.social being honored by the City of Los Angeles on Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month 🇰🇷

Look how comfortable that dog is on Tyler Shough’s lap. GREEN FLAG. That’s the kind of teammate I want in my QB room.

On being called DEI and why it isn’t the burn they think it is

Tonight I am in the semifinals of Celebrity Jeopardy on ABC at 9 pm ET Once again I am competing on behalf of the incredible SELAH Neighborhood Homeless Coalition here in LA: www.selahnhc.org

As someone who grew up idolizing independent record labels like Dischord and Matador I was fascinated (in a sad way) by this @nicksylvester.bsky.social piece on the diminished role of the indie in today’s music industry smartdumb.substack.com/p/what-is-th...

can’t get over the TV series “Adolescence” with 4 episodes on Netflix - brilliant Owen Cooper’s character, 13 yrs old Jamie Miller as well as other great actors and the theme music are still haunting me. this is Owen Cooper’s first acting debut and can’t imagine what’s ahead for him

hey, I know you’re on the show, but someone is stealing your thunder😋

the cutest portrait of Mina Kimes - drawn by Dan Orlovsky’s son Madden

the most darling picture in a long time - he pulled her chair, helped her with the menu and took a picture of her

our darling boy Julio Rodriguez (2 run homer today) 2-1 Mariners against Athletics

I love you, too

fun fact: I had my son on my birthday and it was a greatest day of my life

I’m so honored - thank you Tottenham

traveled in Panama a week ago and the tour guide said “we love soccer, but we are not good”. I think maybe you’re not too bad

while Kyler Murray was visiting South Korea, where his maternal grandmother came from, for the first time he held a QB session with Korean athletes - this may open the idea for developing a football league in Korea 🇰🇷🏈

This is the article btw. Thank you @cjzero.bsky.social for the clip! slate.com/culture/2014...

Bucket list item for me: I met @kenjennings.bsky.social and am on Celebrity Jeopardy tonight! Airs on ABC at 9 pm ET. The charity I’m playing for is SELAH, a neighborhood homeless coalition that does incredible work. If you’re looking for volunteer opportunities in LA please check out selahnc.org

“welcome to Seattle Sam”

wherever I go whatever I do, I wear this

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

The half an avocado I cut open and tried to save for later

can you make it less [email protected]

“Come on Ipswich!” 2-1 Tottenham at half

a bundle of nervous this morning
