An absolutely dumb-as-rocks lookin' black cat named Michiko sticking her tongue out because, once again, she forgot about its existence. It's okay, Michi, it happens to the best of us. She has a plastic red bag hanging from her collar in front of a green tag with a pink one behind it and a silver bell next to the tags. Her collar is black and styled like a kimono with Japanese-style patterns. Behind her is a stereo from the 18th century on a dresser from the 17th century, and she's sitting on her human's lap, with their foot sticking out from beneath a pale blue blanket in the blurry background.

I am still sick.

But you have not seen my cat in a while, I realize, dear reader. So. Here you go.

Please pray for me.

Hate being sick. :(

Guy seething with jealousy: Well, I think the normal sky is already pretty cool

I have a cold, am wearing my oversized blanket hoodie, my cat is on my lap, and I'm playing a wee bit of Fall Guys. Just thought you should know.

My cat dragged her track ball tower thing over to her bed so she can sit in bed and entertain herself by swatting balls around the tracks. She's just like me, fr fr.

Lately, I've just been kinda spiritually stuck. Also stuck in a bunch of other respects. Dunno how else to describe it.

Stuff like the offices don't have as much power for me as usual. I still pray them, but I feel like I'm just going through the motions. Blah.

Baseball season and NASCAR season ending this weekend means that I sadly have to have productive hobbies again, at least until next year.

(I'm actually going to watch tons of classic baseball games and races this winter. Sorry. 🥹)

The cat fell asleep watching the Bob Ross marathon.

Chronically online Discord users in shambles.

What people don't understand about disability and chronic illness is how much extra prep and anxiety can surround basic tasks that are mundane for others. For example, by the time I've packed all my emergency kit for simply going to the bank, I can forget to even bring the bag of stolen cash.

ladies and gentlemen...we got him

We are allowed to dress up on Halloween at work, and I'm scheduled for Halloween. I don't have a costume ready, and no spare money.

Is a 1980s professional baseball player scary enough? I think I can pull off that look with what I have at my disposal.

Wish I had received more injections of Tylenol before I started writing this short story set in 1986, hell-bent on getting every historical/setting detail right.

anyone wanna stay up late and watch another baseball game

The US on December 7, 1941

This is specifically about baseball.

This is funny, but it's also me year-round.

Gee, I can’t imagine why…

"Someone on Reddit thinks—"

Are you sure?

was just skimming through old footage and found this ruthless moment in 1970s baseball broadcasting

Been watching the 2005 World Series with my partner, who says that these games finally made baseball "click" for her as an entertaining sport. She sees why it's my second religion.

Unfortunately, I have inadvertently cursed her by making her a fan of the White Sox.

Stardew Valley: Black Ops

Military style SDV! Does she shout at her crops and fight wars with other characters?

This Women's Pro Baseball League sounds great and all, but writing its big announcement using ChatGPT (or some other LLM) is... not great.

Like you guys know I'm a writer, right? And a women's baseball advocate. You could hire me for a small fee. Heck, you can pay me in hats if money is tight.

For context, *nooooo* other game brings out the swears quite like SV. We play Fall Guys a lot too and failure/frustration is always just an "oh no!" or "aww."

Stardew Valley, however, is serious business.
