I’m sure this is fine.

Launching a book the same week I have to get the entire family ready for a week-long trip was … a bad life decision. 😬😬

Some personal news: I wrote a picture book for kids! It’s about a quirky pup and his journey to find his forever home. If you need a great holiday gift for kids you love and want to support an independent author, this fits the bill! www.kristinhansonwrites.com/book

At this time last year I started kickboxing for this *very* reason.

No, actually you don’t have to post that thing about “respecting” MTG for coming out against the administration. She‘s no different just because she, too, is now a target of this regime.

We got us a bench-clearing brawl in *checks notes* a soccer game.

Here for the Gio Reyna redemption arc. 👏👏👏

This is the laugh I needed today.

🤦🏻‍♀️

Ok so maybe I have been too harsh on AI…

Love to see it.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

Criticism of Quinn & Kingsbury is warranted, but ire should be directed higher. Personnel decisions made at the trade deadline in 24 (Lattimore) and offseason 25 (Tunsil, Deebo, and Robinson trades; ignoring gaping holes across the defense; handling of McLaurin holdout) left this roster paper thin.

Well hey, last year was fun Commanders. Catch you in another 10-12 for the next season worth watching.

Welp that sucks

I’m immensely grateful for the magic carpet ride that was the 2019 Nats World Series run but I’m not gonna lie, it’s nice to watch a game 7 and not feel like my heart was gonna explode at every pitch. Hang in there, Blue Jay fans. Hang in there.

This thread 😂😭

Hot damn, that Ontario ad about the cost of tariffs that just aired during Game 7 is the best political ad I’ve seen in years.

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky. Block on sight. Protect your digital space. Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them. The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

Seriously. The most insane thing I’ve ever seen in a baseball game.

What … just happened in this baseball game?!?!

I cackled 😂

Been a while but time to bust this gif out again.

“Baltimore is not an east coast city. It’s a Midwest city that happens to be on the east coast. … We fancy Cleveland. We are off-the-hook Pittsburgh. We are fly-ass Detroit. That’s us, man.” - @foxworthshow.bsky.social on @righttimebomani.bsky.social with my new fave description of our hometown

Mom told me last night that she finally understands why I had a panic attack large enough to send me to the hospital after the election last year. Changes nothing in the grand scheme of things, but she apologized for being judgmental because *everything* I feared then is happening. 🙄

I’m not an Eagles fan but I’m always down for a big man touchdown. Good on you #90. 👏

someone get Chris Fowler some Zicam and Afrin, stat

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life. 1. Watching my kids play. 2. Running without pain. 3. Discovering my new favorite book. 4. The smell of salt water on the bridge on the way to Hilton Head 5. That first crisp-cool fall morning that makes you bust out the hoodies.

This part.

This Cowboys Giants game is B O N K E R S

“We’ll bring you the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat, and because we’ve got soccer highlights, the sheer pointlessness of a zero-zero tie. You’re watching SportsNight on CSC, so stick around.”

Listening to @pablo.show break bombshell after bombshell by doing what my j school professors told me to do 20 years ago (documents, kids! That’s where the stories are!) warms my heart more than I can say. Put Pablo on the Kennedy Assassination next. we’ll have answers in a month.

Absolutely brilliant satire. "These “Guess Stops” will be staffed by special agents known as Guess Stop Officers, or “Guess-Stop-O” for short. The Guess-Stop-O will make crime disappear by making undesirable people disappear."

I’m attempting to raise a 3 and a 6 year old, keep a freelance business afloat, launch my first children’s book, and grapple with *gesrures wildly* all of THIS … and you’re telling me I now have to spend hours comparison shopping for car insurance because State Farm is terrible? Gtfoh

❤️

Yep.

I make sure to hug and kiss my kids every day before they leave and tell them I love them because I have a profound fear that the day I forget to do that will be the day they don’t come home. We cannot live this way. We cannot.

Challenge: post your last post photo taken in DC to show what a hell-hole it is:

I laughed entirely too hard at this.

@joelgoodman.co i saw this and thought of you 😂😂😂

(adds “become adept with sword” to life goals)

W o w w w w .

Just remember that when things are going badly that’s the perfect time for them to get worse.

The degree to which our culture is desensitized to this kind of horror is … I don’t know that there’s a word for it.

This is well done. 👏

For no reason in particular, I really miss summer in Milwaukee.

Daaaaaaaaang I feel for the Italian women. This game has been 🤯🤯🤯

Is there, perhaps, a connecting thread among these 10 states? 🤔

Abominable.
