there's gonna be weird people out there who's like blah blah sportsball w/e but like actually deep down sports is about community and I think that's neat

I will be house sitting for someone this week and I think Spencer is incredibly excited not to have to listen to me shout ridiculous things at the tv during the World Cup.

everything — LITERALLY EVERYTHING — I have ever learned about Olivia Nuzzi has been against my will I never asked for this

me watching tennis just reminds me how much I miss playing but also that I’m team two handed backhand for life.

you ever read a book that leaves you absolutely devastated and in love all at the same time? that was me tonight with the someday garden by Ashley Poston. I can’t stop sobbing because of how lovely it was 😭

things that are cool: being able to see the Carter mountain fireworks…from your back porch 😎

It feels incredible to walk outside and not feel like everything is on fire.

“I’m a delicate little flower, I’m cut off!” - the nuggets, post smores.

me, shouting into the void: RAAAAAAIIIIIIN THAT MAKES THE FLOWERS BLOOM!

It’s starting to rain out by MHS and this is great.

Reasons to celebrate America 250: my (retired) USMC colonel dad who was adopted from Japan as a toddler who spent a lot of time overseas in the military…and served as a tour guide for Toby Keith in djibouti.

First Fourth of July weekend in the new place and I think this is the first year I’ve been in Charlottesville where I could feel fireworks going off?

SPORTS ARE GOOD AGAIN

the mcrib man is working this event this week!

it is simply too hot to function today.

And today I finally saw the dang thing in person.

i am once again making "smooth" by santana ft. rob thomas references on main (unashamedly)

It should be illegal to feel like 105 at 9:31 in the morning.

EL TAKE ME HOME DE JOHN DENVER!

I AM PHYSICALLY INCAPABLE OF WATCHING SPORTS ON TELEVISION WITHOUT YELLING AT THE TELEVISION LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BOOOOO what a dumb decision!!!

I finally got Spencer on board with watching the World Cup on telemundo. Anyway, I’m here for the south central pa link to the World Cup via Christian Pulisic!

I love this so much

I now have my first gym membership since high school and operation GET BACK IN SHAPE begins this week. Im only a little terrified of going to the gym ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

no thank you (it's time to enjoy a popsicle)

@socialistdogmom.bsky.social while my nails are not going to look as extravagant as yours, you've given me inspiration for my latest color combo. photos TK :)

DJ Moore is the best

INBOX: The City of Richmond and the counties of Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico and Powhatan are now under VOLUNTARY water conservation measures.

there’s a reason I have called this week’s weather “boiled frog soup weather” but also I can’t forget being in dc for the dang derecho.

Henrico County is a major hub for data centers in Virginia. Its officials said it expects a 25% rise in electricity costs next year, and advised workers to close the blinds and turn off their computers to make up for it.

(writing this down)

When life gets you mad, just order more outfits for your porch goose. That's way more delightful. THERE'S A YEEHAW OUTFIT NOW FOR THE GOOSE

This is an absolutely evergreen mood.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship, rejecting Trump’s proposed limits.

I can’t believe I didn’t get served this @mainepublic.org ad WHEN I WAS IN MAINE but also their merch game is STRONG.

Friends: we are in for a very hot stretch of weather the next seven days. Heat indicies (temp + humidity) later this week will approach 110°. July 4th will see actual highs around 100°. Please make sure cooling implements are working and/or that you have a way to keep cool in the days ahead.

MY HALF-JAPANESE HEART IS SO SAD

My Spanish is awful but watching the Telemundo broadcasts has helped me understand soccer more. And also the commentators are just having way more fun?

LETS GO JAPAN

It’s humid as heck out in Fredericksburg this morning and I am ready to bask in the ac all week (in cville)

I fear that with the rise of ozempic and the glp-1s, the 100-calorie snack packs are going to make a resurgence and it’ll feel like the late 00s all over again.

i looked at what the heat indices could be later this week and no thank you.

I wish I didn’t have eyes because reading about what happened at the most recent Noah Kahan concert scarred me for life.

the olivia rodrigo lego sets are cute as heck and i am here for the fun! whimsy! joy! they bring.

Spotted all over the free speech wall today: some language co-opted by the far right.

I’m finally watching the latest tiny desk and WOW I wasn’t expecting to see Sarah Jarosz, Sara Watkins AND Sean Watkins show up! What an incredible lil surprise 🤠

June’s almost over and I guess this means I should work on my favorite records released so far this year, huh.

one of the best parts about actually working from the office is getting to hear the silly banter from everyone.

NO I DO NOT WANT A CHICAGO BEARS HALLMARK CHRISTMAS MOVIE THIS IS THE WORST TIMELINE

Given that the two baby giraffes that went missing in Virginia were recently found, how does one even go about HIDING a giraffe?!?
