I don’t even go here but that was a very fun game to watch and I always cry when I see fans deliriously happy like this. and I love to see a drought end

For 8 years, I worked as a civil rights attorney. After one COVID infection, I’ve spent the past 3.5 years bedbound with ME. We need help paying for two upcoming treatments. These are my last, best chance at getting my life back. You can read more: gofund.me/43edfb712

pretending that the reason I don’t have a garden planted yet is because I knew there would be wild hail tonight that wrecked the whole neighbourhood and not just bad time management

I blogged about a local baseball game. I might do it again in the future. sjbrot.beehiiv.com/p/medicine-h...

it is in absolutely everybody’s best interests to develop some hobbies aside from Phone

I got a sunburn at the ball game today because I trusted the forecast like a damn fool. however, the sox won plus we were sitting beside this dog named Champ so it evened out

oops crying at this Hazel Mae award package and speech at the Canadian screen awards. I love her and she’s a legend and a queen!!

Brief ball park report (we have season tickets to the Regina Red Sox and this year the team is under new ownership)

translation: people are still getting long covid, vaccination is not stopping it, less than 50% of people with long covid are accurately diagnosed i'm literally on my hands and knees begging you to give a shit about this, because none of the public health agencies of any of the major countries do.

I was concerned when what appears to be an AI-generated short story was named a regional winner of the Commonwealth Short Story Prize. As an advocate of literature, I decided to protest by writing my own prize-winning short story without AI johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/regionally...

I need everyone to be a little bit cooler here. I have become the "bluesky defender" in multiple friend groups and it has negatively impacted my social standing. My social standing!

It’s Regina-style and I will register my official stance here as I have on other platforms: It’s Good, Actually

new take i feel pretty good about: the widespread fuckjerryification of the internet and the subsequent collective shrug about defining authorship was a precursor to LLM theft and slopworld

[never seen their face, no idea how old they are or where in the world they’re located]: we know and respect and trust each other

I found out recently that I was deceived by social activists in an elaborate scheme.

Same story, three provinces, same cause: Each one signed on to the Alberta Recovery Model in 2024. Why do we accept eugenic public policy in 2026?

We were watching live and I could hear @rhiannonev.bsky.social laughing from the other room when this happened.

If you have to write a long thing about why you should be allowed to watch Harry Potter its because you know its wrong, and there's no combination of words that will wash that from your hands. You have to be comfortable knowing you're making decisions and your soul will be weighed by them

extremely good advice, I listen to Juliet Stevenson-narrated audiobooks literally every night for this reason!! I absolutely crushed the Jane Austen Jeopardy! category the other day lol

Seeing The Raven and the First Men was a highlight of our trip to Vancouver a few years back. The piece and the whole museum is a treasure.

Every sports gambling ad I have to see makes me .03% more unhinged.

one of the benefits of audhd is that even if you're hyper sensitive and get upset easily, it's really easy to forget why you were upset

there’s a Tim Hortons commercial right now where Ryan Reynolds still exists in the future as a hologram in order to see people still ordering his donut (?) and the customer he talks to asks if he “digitally preserved [his] conscious.” It should clearly be “consciousness,” right?

nice of the jays to schedule a little half hour cry for all of us before the game starts

I think streaming services are just bad at live sports. Amazon NHL games suck. Apple MLB games suck. They always try to do weird shit with the camera angles and scorebug and announcers and cross-promotions. There is just a tangible, hard-to-define Streaming Stink on these games

Netflix really nailing this sports broadcasting thing lmao

Pretending like you are going to war instead of a baseball tournament and then losing at baseball is super funny

Couldn’t have happened to a less likeable Team USA!

Jafar Panahi defies the Iranian regime to make a neorealist gem, a rumination on morality and a film of cutting directness. Me: that looks like my dog

love to log on here to once again see anyone who acknowledges the continued existence of the novel coronavirus called a delusional dead ender loser. leftists earnestly saying shit like “horseshoe theory” because they personally don’t want to feel guilty about covid

this is not news but generative AI has hit the world of fun patterned quilting fabric HARD

people with ME/CFS are living with a 19th century standard of medical care. our illness is not being researched, we do not know the mechanism of our illness, doctors have no knowledge of it & often make us worse, and there is no attempt to prevent other illnesses we're dramatically more at risk for

1. Here's a little thread on one of Canada's greatest athletes who was largely forgotten by most of his home country: the three-sport phenom "Fabulous" Fred Thomas.

people being separated from their families in the name of “family values” going to try to do something every day to support my trans friends and neighbors

for cis people: the response we need isn't "i see you and i hear you", it's "what can i do to help right now?"

moment of truth, crossing my fingers

things would have been a lot different if honey was on that flight

it’s almost her time

95% of the time, Bonhomme is just talking about how outdoor activities are great, and the rest of the time, he’s saying he’s eternal and will bury us all.

Jim and I were friends for a few years first but on the night we later decided was our anniversary, he came over with a flaming lips concert dvd, which we watched while blowing up balloons, which we then quietly filled my sister’s room with while she slept for her birthday the next day

we’re all supposed to just be ok with these water and power thieving monstrosities being built in our backyards forever

just haven’t posted Honey and Marigold in a while. they say hi

“extreme” being wearing a mask in some to most shared spaces to try to protect their immeasurable investment of time and money and energy during the most important weeks of their lives. one simply has to laugh!!

The United States - with acquiescence and support from Canada and other allies - is seeking to murder millions of Cubans and destroy the Revolution that has carried and embodied so many of our aspirations for a just world. This is effectively genocide and must be stopped.

That Super Bowl halftime show was beyond incredible, and fun. Here’s the story of how it came together, complete with beautiful photos from @d-jacks.bsky.social. www.wired.com/story/bad-bu...

God the people mad about music like this must live such sad miserable little lives

Le COC rêve des JO? No question in my mind.

Gonna start a video series where I tell my dogs about half-remembered bits of music blog ephemera, “a guy got into a TV on the Radio show for free by carrying a saxophone,“ “people were leaving the National shows after Clay Your Hands Say Yeah finished opening,“ things of that nature.
