i don't mean to cape for any politicians, but this is a good thing to hear from a senator, and it is very fun to watch an old Massachusetts guy eat a Harvard douche's lunch like this

We return tomorrow with a new combination of prose and poetry, but before then, have a look at these mordantly funny poems by our recent contributor Catherine Weiss (@catherineweiss.bsky.social) in BOMB. bombmagazine.org/articles/202...

there's a lot to resist within it—rainbow capitalism, tokenism, etc—but i hope i never get too cynical to celebrate myself and my fellow queers at least a little bit each Pride Month. walk good, comrades 💜

"could Donald Trump save Cuba's economy?" "could Squeaky Fromme lift a car to save a baby panda?" "could Godzilla win a spelling bee against Colson Whitehead?" this is fun, what are we doing

you gotta hand it to Toronto fans; they've been awfully quick to one-up one of our fans assaulting a Blue Jay by rising up together to cheer on the destruction of the whole city of Baltimore

hell yes

get you shit together, Jackson

love to kick back on a sunday and watch my favorite team the Orioles beat the absolute stuffing out of the Blue Jays

we are so back #Orioles

i've been a vegetarian for my whole adult life, but i find the concept of the sausage inspiring (of course, i often make my own out of seitan, beans, tvp, etc)

HOORAY, ORIOLES!!! BLUE JAYS FANS, I'M SORRY PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ME!!

WALK TO TIE I FUCKING LOVE BASEBALL I LOVE THE ORIOLES

well well well, doesn't feel so good when your team sticks a cherry bomb up its own ass, does it, Blue Jays fans

tonight is sad bitch vegan stew night

JJax doing some real work out here too

oh hell yeah Gunnar

feeling very sad. please send hopeful thoughts

Dying over the guy who stood next to Zuck's yacht and painted it in flames.

Louise Glück, "The Balcony"

feeling very sad. please send hopeful thoughts

rainy night in Lowell

ran into some Red Sox fans who kept trying to give me shit about my Orioles cap, and i think it just doesn't occur to a certain type of Sox fan that you can be friendly about sports

on a long train ride feeling sad. classic

i have a free ticket to a Lowell Spinners game with my coworkers but i also have terrible sadness and literal rain clouds over my head. hmm

four back-to-back-to-back-to-back dingers #LetterboxdFriday #Last4Watched📽️ read my thoughts on Letterboxed—i'm enbieschewitz: boxd.it/1CBLJ

in case you missed it, my poem "Ravens Aren't Songbirds, and We'll Never Meet Again" is in the latest issue of beestung

just me trying to be secure enough in my femininity to let myself be seen without makeup while my best friend curls up to my side without a thought in her head

the ladies are surly

Gunshot Trauma Surgeon and Astrology Realist Derek Van Kerker is a marvelous take on the mad scientist for our contemporary zeitgeist

stop using this app to distract ppl from the Orioles sweeping the Rays

the Orioles just swept the Rays with an 11–2 final score. such beauty. i love baseball. the world is an amazing place where anything can happen

Kittredge. hell yeah, man

hahaha this dancing kid's family hates him

when i had to go to St. Elizabeth's psychiatry unit a lot, sometimes i'd stop in the Dunkin inside the hospital and get a Beyond sausage, egg, & cheese on a croissant on the way out 👌 (the miserable surroundings may have played a big part by contrast)

BLAZZZZZZE 😎

GUNNAAAAR

rip, Clover Food Lab. you may have been a notoriously bad place to work, but you also had a soul-crushing lack of ambiance and disappointing food

baseball is always some guy who is a physically perfect specimen being guided day and night by world class trainers, nutritionists, and doctors hoping to beat a record set by some guy named Pickles Bitch in 1937 who lived on cigarettes and moonshine and did not exercise other than baseball games

they've scored multiple runs! *that's* what a team's supposed to do when they've loaded the bases!

damn! don't quote me, but i think this might not just be a series of flukes; i think the Orioles might be doing a good job at playing baseball

i'm gonna be channeling a lot of professional and emotional frustration into tonight's Orioles–Rays game, so let's all just pray that our boys in orange are up for it

next year, @artsemerson.bsky.social plans to stage a show, called 2021, that uses AI. this is an open letter i wrote to them about it. if this pisses you off, please write to them too! or you can share this (just keep my name on if you use the wording)

those gigantic and elaborate support beams have the chance to do the funniest possible thing

“AI is here, so we have no choice but to accept it” so are immigrants and trans people, but I guess that’s a skill issue

today's Swan Boy about a panda bringing a beer to a lizard that she shot at a Hooters is, no joke, extremely moving on both a personal and a sociopolitical level

ORIOLES WIN! shame, SHAME unto the nonbelievers!!
