In case you're wondering, my recipe for a Good Bluesky Experience here at the three year mark: 1. Decide not to be a dick 2. "Don't engage, just block" for trolls/bots/chuds 3. Mute stressful nouns 4. Follow super cool people of all sorts 5. Choose to have fun over "engagement" 6. Pictures of cats!

Anyone in the market for a plushie Vulture?

Hello, Bluesky. Today is the third anniversary of me joining this instance of social media. I celebrate, again, with a picture of a cat. bsky.app/profile/scal...

Since Trump is out here denying he is a rapist, a reminder that a judge said he absolutely was one

🍕 The BOGO slice deal is back on matchdays. Just show your tickets and get two slices for the price of one at any location (except UW). #UpTheBridges

The Pagliacci Pitch is BACK ‼️ Pagliacci Pizza has been with us since the 2023 season and we are proud to announce them as a proud partner of Ballard FC and Salmon Bay FC once again. In addition, we are excited to welcome their iconic logo on the sleeve of all club kits

OMG, I have run 100+ person events at hotels with much larger events at the same time.... I hope anyone at any other events in the hotel, or who are staying at the hotel, can get to their rooms and rest.

This is what makes me so angry about this whole event to begin with. You’ve invited the very people who willfully and happily lie to your face every day - in a way no previous administration has come close - and could easily lie about what happened at this event if it’s fits a narrative.

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

Film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars/Trek, HP, LOTR, Marvel.

April 25th is perfect because it's not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket ☀️

Out sick, anyone want a GA to today’s Sounders match?

I recently saw an episode of CSI from 2008 in which several characters have colds Hodges: "You know, in China they wear masks when they're sick. It's impolite to get your co-workers sick." Nick: "Yeah, maybe you should move to China." Hodges: "Yeah, or maybe you could wear a mask."

Fun fact: Women's sports are segregated not to protect women, but to protect *men* from losing *to* a woman. Don't believe me? Look up Jackie Mitchell. Struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Then suddenly women were unfit to play baseball.

Anyhow we've received the official go-ahead to attach this as a cover page to our #Hugos submission packet so it helps to very slightly clarify the voting process for a 2000+ page webcomic which began in 2006. #LACon #WorldCon #Hugo #HugoFinalist #comic #webcomic

Look, if you want to figure out some way to use crime to bring the rich to heel, I have ideas.

Spuds up, Calgary!

We asked for coloring book designs, and these young artists understood the assignment 🙌 Now, we’re announcing the winners of our Earth Day coloring book contest! 55 students from Seattle to Spokane submitted their artwork showing how everyday actions can protect our water.

Stepped outside and the petrichor smells amazing.

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

She changed the club. She defined an era. One last season to watch her write the final chapter. 👑 Jess Fishlock will retire at the end of the 2026 NWSL season, closing one of the greatest careers in NWSL history. ➡️ rgnfc.com/4cCwzhE

Oh this is a neat idea — killing two birds with one stone! Renewable power and reducing water loss to evaporation. I’ve never understood why California’s aqueducts are open to the desert air

Just a reminder that if you want to support someone on Patreon, make sure to do it on desktop/browser and not the App Store if you have an iphone/ipad. Apple charges YOU extra, and holds your money for nearly 3 months before paying it out to the creator.

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

If we had a nickel for every time we beat St. Louis 4-1 at home in the last year, we'd have two nickels... Which isn't much, but it's cool it happened twice.

TWO DAYS OFF

I posted this on my insta story and the blog but totally forgot to show you guys this charcuterie spread I did last week for a friend’s engagement party (and I’m in the wedding 🤩) I don’t usually do bigger spreads like this so let me know your thoughts! :)

Throwing the signal up to my #ttrpg friends, some of whom I've already contacted about this -- anyone got a contact for Sean Preston, who ran the rpg game company Reality Blurs? Did some great Savage Worlds settings and the amazing Tremulus horror game. Last thing I can find is a 2020 blog post.

Matchdays just got an upgrade! 🍻 You asked, and we answered. Since our inaugural season, the most frequent matchday feedback has been about a desire to take beer into the bleachers. Well, now you can! We've upgraded our liquor license to now allow beer, wine, and cider throughout the stadium.

If you're in the Seattle area, this is your reminder that I will be signing OMENS OF CHAOS at Zulu's Board Game Cafe in downtown Bothell from 2pm to 6pm today! This is my last official, non-ticketed signing for this book (all others are inside events with door fees). The store WILL ship.
