not to be mean because i read romance pretty regularly but i feel like this book is shaving points off my iq with each passing chapter

i was not expecting the first words of this book/series to be my birthday

one last hanukkah present yeah that'll do 😌

i spent decades of my life convinced my everyday clothing would disintegrate between my fingers if i didn't hang dry it but a month ago i had no choice but to put a load in the dryer and now i feel like i've unlocked a cheat code

triston casas is very important to me and i get sad when people talk about him like he isn't a real person

just watched a video where an influencer called the lirr "lur" so that's enough internet for today 💙

i'm pretty sure my baseball fandom next year is just going to be rooting for triston casas and whatever team he's on and very little beyond that. everything else feels so exhausting.

i spent literally half the the day in bed unable to figure out what i wanted to do and still somehow managed to walk 7.5 miles before picking up my dinner??????????

back in my library era

an actual email i just got

why is it that i'm ok going to regular restaurant by myself and sitting alone with a book while i eat but the idea of going to a diner and doing that makes me feel like the biggest loser on the face of the earth? i just want chocolate chip pancakes man

I'll say it again: if any other ethnic or religious minority said "please don't use this particular term or chant, you might not have bad intentions but it is deeply racist and threatening to us", the reaction would be mortified apology. And that's without a mass terror event four days ago

if the red sox let alex bregman walk then they actually do deserve to be dragged for the rafael devers debacle all over again. you don't get to drive the face of the franchise out of town for one year of a guy and then act like the victim when you need the exact kind of player that franchise guy is.

turns out if i wake up at 4am and then don't fall back to sleep until 6am then i won't be particularly functional for the rest of the day

the mets boldly dare to ask "what if we built an entire pitching staff out of former yankees closers?"

For anyone worried AI will replace all of us. Courtesy of Gemini for the prompt “create an infographic of all the World Series winners since 1986” I dare you to find 10 things that are right.

i get why the library doesn't allow food but all i want to do today is hole up in the library with a hoard of snacks and get work done over there

just me and my baseball menorah against the world

took a walk to soak in the first snow of the season

the terrorist attack in australia is what happens when you spend two years telling jewish people we don't actually know what rEaL aNtIsEmItIsM is. it's what happens when you dismiss desperate pleas for help from an entire marginalized group because you found a few tokens to support your bigotry.

i uhhhhh would like my nose to start working properly again

i'm literally never going to forgive the people who prevented pete alonso from spending his entire career in a mets uniform

goodbye polar bear

forgot i got this to have as a little treat after pete alonso signed ☹️

the only franchise player an entire generation of mets fans have gotten to see had his career cut short by spinal stenosis. why do we do this to ourselves?

hey sorry but i literally never want to hear another word from steve or alex cohen or anybody else in the entire mets organization about needing fans to show up to the ballpark and bRiNg EnErGy or whatever other bs when this is how we're repaid

btw i didn't include brandon nimmo in this because unfortunately he was kinda part of the problem but losing him is still a dagger to a tortured fanbase

my emotional support patellar tendon surgery survivor is a traitor

not to be dramatic but if the mets don't bring pete alonso back then citi field is going to be a morgue next year and it'll be deserved

my emotional support patellar tendon surgery survivor is leaving me 😭

who decided to make dayquil taste like that i think i'd rather just raw dog this cold

realizing the tank tops that are coming back in style for teenagers are the ones i've had since 2008 and now wear as pajamas

should i get a last minute ticket to the fleet game at agganis or should i be financially responsible and get a cheap hot chocolate and wander around nowhere in particular

bryce harper, simon cowell, and that guy who thinks he's going to live forever should all get in a room together

i think i've successfully convinced myself to go for a new lens for my current camera instead of starting over entirely with a new camera body in an entirely new ecosystem so that's one crisis sorted

can anyone locate zac gallen? do we have eyes on zac gallen?

so it's really going to be cold like this for the next two and a half months? and we just have to suffer?

if any of you are considering bashing your leg into the corner of your coffee table because you think it'll be fun then i'm here to tell you it's not fun and you will end up with a bloody, bruised shin

shout-out to the curls they're really working tonight

it's going to be parachute forever i guess

good to know instagram is asking everyone to give them location access and it isn't just a thing with my account

but did anyone ask him about being the tooth fairy for his kids?

i love how sonny gray's media session boils down to "it's not that i hate cities, it's that i hate new york city specifically"

avoiding sugary drinks is soooooooo much harder for me in winter than summer because in order to even leave my apartment i need to bribe myself with a little hot chocolate or hot coffee

if i hear someone singing solo with only a piano as accompaniment my heart starts racing like i'm waiting outside an audition room???????

my emotional support patellar tendon surgery survivor is going to be on a different team next year 😭

me: i can't believe how little i read this year. i wasted so much time. me: *reading my 21st book of the year*

the real crime is that he doesn't let people tag him on instagram so he has no idea this photo exists

one thing i love about baseball is that injured players can hang out in the dugout during games and yap with their teammates and feel like a part of the group even though they can't play. you don't get that in any other sport where the injured guys are at home or in a suite.

i guess i was going for a theme at barnes and noble today
