i’m in pretty bad trouble, folks. there’s a new stray kitty outside and she LOVES us. she went from skittering off into the bushes when she heard the door open to being upside down in my lap purring in the span of an afternoon

headed to Ottawa with a Montréal lead 👀

TATER!!!!

ngl, sending takeover tour games as an "audition for a team" to places that ultimately got snubbed despite huge turnout feels like they either did zero due diligence at best, or got fans in those cities excited to build hype and sell tickets while doing the charlie brown football bit at worst

NEW EPISODE of The Fancestor feat. @eugenefreedman.bsky.social on Baltimore Orioles fandom! •A Memorial Stadium love letter •When your favorite Oriole is traded •Opening of Camden Yards •The rise & fall of the 90s O’s •The “best” two days of Buck Showalter podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

first kayak outing of the year!

A relatively nice story. This local liberal arts college shut down (mismanagement of funds, decreasing enrollment) and was able to relocate some of its library to seed a new neighborhood library: bhamnow.com/2026/05/11/4...

my relationship with my mother is complicated but she did the best she could with a weird child she didn’t understand. happy mother’s day to her and all the folks with complex maternal relationships

The Tigers are not bringing me joy.

I hope she is sitting in her mold castle having just the worst day because of this

today’s plans. luckily putting ikea furniture together is one of like, two skills i’m confident in

ohh i don’t think we’re taking this one

If you want dirt cheap nice clothes go to eBay and search the name of any apparel brand plus “logo.” I bought a shitload of Patagonia stuff for like 99% off with garbage tech and finance logos embroidered on them. Bad news for the haters, I know what a seam ripper is.

i’ve had my nose ring for about six weeks now, and here’s my advice: if you’re thinking of getting one, figure out which side of your nose usually touches your partner’s nose while kissing them. it is going to be relevant

PWHL IS COMING TO HOCKEYTOWN

Go time. 🆚: @pwhlcharge.bsky.social ⏰: 7:00 PM ET 📍: Tsongas Center 📺: NESN 🎟️: bit.ly/3DFOeaA

🚨NEW EPISODE of The Fancestor featuring @chrystalok.bsky.social on White Sox fandom! We discuss: • How DOES a Cubs fan become a White Sox fan? • AJ Pierzynski's punchable face • MLB's poor history courting female fans • How women are building their own MLB lane open.spotify.com/episode/0pwB...

well if I were the tigers, I’d declare truist cursed and demand to leave immediately

The PWHL is an incubator for a lot of cool experimental rules (Gold plan draft seeding, the Jailbreak on PPs) but I honestly think "the #1 seed picks their playoff opponent" is the one that has the most incredible potential for the Bulletin Board Industrial Complex

all transphobic claims about athletics just boil down to “any man is stronger than any woman”, and every 3 months an article comes out saying “hey so a scientific study proved that all that stuff is an obvious lie”, but we just ignore it and move on because the lie feels right to most people

hair was pretty on point today tho

jfc there is a man in the waiting room at my gyno loudly evangelizing about the shirts from newsmax’s clearance section and how he buys 20 at a time to give away to “little girls at his church” we’re gonna find out whether the good lord gave me those telekinesis powers i’ve been praying for today

Not sure who needs to hear this but you gotta be checking your blood pressure regularly and if it's consistently high, that's gotta be addressed.

soba and dipping sauce, quick pickled cucumbers in chili crisp, and leftover chopped up rotisserie chicken sautéed with mushrooms in soy and white wine

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IS GOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WITH MEN!!!!!!!!!!!

With her EIGHTH shutout of the season, Aerin is today's Player of the Game!

president of the no-dignity club

when reorganizing your crafting desk, it’s so important to make sure your buddy has a new cuddle spot

IT IS A QUADRUPLE HEADER 🔥 All the action - all day. Don't miss a moment!

can’t think of much that’d beat an old fashioned and a stack of french toast, except maybe having them with a weirdly sweet and introspective round of rain delay questions

Traveled a million miles outside my comfort zone to create this cockamamie podcast. Accidentally peeked in on the download/listening numbers and I was floored lol. Thanks to everyone who gave The Fancestor a listen (or plans to)! [1/x] podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

NEW: I spent a couple of weeks reporting on Jason Benetti, who I think is the best working MLB play by play broadcaster today. Here is my Sports Business Journal feature on Benetti, just out this morning: www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/202...

50 years ago today, on April 23, 1976, America got to boppin' as Dave Parker -- the Cobra -- showed off the Pirates' style and swagger in this Associated Press photo.

If you want friends join a pickeball club, you are not being sent to Congress to form friendships "across the aisle" you goober, go fix my fucking healthcare and cry to your therapist 6 times a week about not having friends you chose this career not me

it’s 4/20, i got a head full of sudafed and i’m watching baseball under a mountain of blankets at 10am, lfg

is everyone getting the merzbow remix of the detroit postgame coverage or just me

the best gumbo, to me, was served over cornbread dressing, with fried okra croutons. i wasn’t gonna be a hater but the cop gumbo was the second-worst. worst gets to remain anonymous bc they’re not cops

my fellow girlies, a moment of your time: it appears the drop waist is unfortunately attempting to come back in fashion. remember that it is our sacred charge to hold the line

turns out they don’t give you a medal or a tiara or even special throw beads for completing all 19 gumbos. :(

i think we’re up to 11/18 gumbos. gumbo madness is setting in

i’ve had 8/19 gumbos and a moscow mule, seen about a dozen cute dogs and twice as many cute babies. i need a fuckin nap, i’ve had to start telling folks “no rice please”

being 43 and on a glp1 means a surprising number of my daily decisions rely on whether i’ve taken an omeprazole. (today’s plans include a gumbo cook-off in southside so i have taken TWO. not gonna catch me slipping, reflux)

sports are bad

watching three games at once just led to me jubilantly announcing to nick that boston tied it up, then having to walk it back and clarify that i meant the fleet

My Fancestor podcast debuts next week, maybe! First guest is @garretheinrich.bsky.social talking Athletics fandom, including: •Legacy of the Bash Bros. •Retired numbers •Did the "Sell" movement help or hurt the cause? •Father and son frivolity •Why he's following the A's to Vegas ...and more!
