Sweeet snagged ALCS Game 6 tickets

Watching the post victory celebrations, and two things occur to me. I) it feels so performative. Like "this is how we're supposed to celebrate" performative. II) both Pete Walker and @keeganmatheson.bsky.social look like they'd much rather be toasting over a bourbon at a table.

Toronto is the greatest city in the world now. I don't make the rules

I am delighted by this win but dear Lord this Dexter kill room of a celebration is a little ridiculous.

BASEBALL WILL NEVER MAKE ME SAD

The Yankees backstop saying "ok maybe next year" as the last batter is about the strike out is just perfection.

The number of Yankees fans who just got up and left at the end of the 8th inning is hilarious. Damn they are ruthless in New York

Today I taught my toddler to say "Springer Dinger!" #lightsupletsgo

I completely forgot that Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are different people.

I've never watched it, but 'Hudson and Rex' is basically an Air Bud spin-off, right? There's no rule that says a dog can't be a cop?

I am so fucking furious at Ticketmaster right now. I queued for post season Jays tickets. Had issues authenticating my account, but got in the queue pretty much right at 10. Got good tickets I was happy with in my cart, and then error messages telling me to try signing out and then rejoin the queue

TFW you are waiting on people to return phone calls and so of course cannot do anything except sit and stare at your phone.

My annoyance with 2 factor authentication runs long and deep. But this one at least made me laugh? Government adjacent website. Standard "do you want your code via email or SMS?" SMS? Great! Just tell us where we should send that. Doesn't have to be a # on your account and we don't save it!

My toddler - demands to go outside immediately Also my toddler - must say goodbye to half a dozen books individually before leaving the house

I love listening to baseball games on the radio. They have to say so many things that some of it inevitably ends up being ridiculous nonsense.

Why yes I did pull over on my drive to work this morning so I could be online at exactly 7 am to sign my toddler up for a creative movement dance class. A very Toronto tradition.

My toddler dragged me into the living room after dinner, demanded, "mama sit" and has been playing beside me while I sit on the couch. I have the best kid.

This is amazing I have no words

Changing seasons always bring out the weirdest clothing contrasts. I'm in the park in a T-shirt and leggings with bare feet. Woman just walked past with a stroller and she is wearing a thigh length puffy coat.

Another day of making my physiotherapist laugh at the weird shit my body does. "Okay, I've never seen that happen in real life before!" Apparently my ulna moves a lot

I need to go retrieve my poor abandoned bicycle from my friend's yard 😅

Discovered today with unfortunate timing that I no longer feel comfortable drinking and biking. Discovering this while tipsy and not at home, with my bike is...not ideal.

Peak summer grubbiness - When a stranger in the park asks my kid if he's going home for dinner and a bath. 😅

Help my toddler who only watches baseball on TV just figured out how to change the channel. I don't even know how to do that.

I think it's time to stop using glass jars in ground level cupboards.

Staring at Group of Seven art makes my brain happy.

I've been an AGO member on and off for years and I've never been in the members lounge. That changes today! Lunch surrounded by old things and art.

Spent the last week visiting my parents. Much relaxing and letting the baby run around outdoors in various states of undress. It was a great time

So glad I did a thoughtful toy rotation yesterday, based on my toddler's interests and skills, only for him to spot the box of toys in storage and immediately demand to empty it because how dare I put away that truck he hadn't touched in weeks.

My exhausting week of full time solo parenting a toddler has ended! Time to recharge by starting a full time welding class! ... I'm so tired

SPRINGER!!! Holy shit I wanna sweep the Yankees so badly

It is 9pm and the baby is not sleeping yet. Sleep is so broken this week. Just... absolute chaos.

What no I didn't buy a Roller derby world cup watch pass because my Spoose is refereeing and I miss looking at them. Don't be ridiculous. @theterroirist.bsky.social

My Spoose does the coolest things!

I'm not a very patriotic person. But absolutely crushing the Yankees on Canada Day? That's a beautiful thing.

My concern was unfounded. SPRINGER DINGERS!

Ohhh no Springer. He is on his first good season since his concussion a couple seasons back and he just smashed his face into the 3rd baseman's leg. Left the field looking like he was retching. That's...not good. 😕

Fighting down the automatic "no" impulse as a parent is so interesting. The toddler is in the bath and just asked for milk. My first impulse was to say no. But...why not? Why should he not have his sippy cup of milk in the tub? Because I think it's weird? that doesn't seem like a good reason

Why is my toddler crying? I threw out the mango pit that was all done and he had just agreed to throw out. (But actually it's because he didn't take a nap today)

There's a mulberry tree at the park!

Successfully took the toddler out in the bike seat today! It was fantastic, now all I need is a front basket so I can actually carry things.

It is not the worst part of today, but wading pools not being open for the season yet when it is 31 degrees and sunny is deeply annoying.

My child is bopping in his stroller to the farmer's market busker playing Constant Craving. Good taste! Not what I would have called a dance tune, but what do I know.

Jays playing like this on Pride night is frankly very homophobic.

I've a joke about Ariadne 🧵

Some days my toddler eats a dozen spears of asparagus and a chicken drumstick for dinner. Some days he refuses dinner entirely and gnaws stale Cheerios off a piece of art sent home from from daycare.

Captain Kirk! My favourite hobbit

What excellent timing! Stumbled across the account of one of my favourite romance writers here, just in time to discover they have a new book out tomorrow, and get a hasty pre-order in! V good end to a hectic stressful day.

Damn it Blue Jays, I'm going to miss daycare pickup.
