April

I’m genuinely curious why we’re still booing Juan Soto #padres fans. It’s not like he had a choice in being traded…

I need to know if Luis Arraez has been sleeping with his bat this past week.

The paper snap. I needed it more than I knew.

Am I the only one who thinks this looks like Elizabeth Moss? 👀

Same. I think it’s time!

Who do we talk to about @padres.com actually participating here in the land of Bluesky?

The most surprising was the player’s patience signing autographs. Cosgrove & Estrada spent forever signing. Jason Adam actually took time to talk to my kids. Ethan Salas signed my daughter’s ball through a gap in the fence as he walked by. And Manny’s so chill. He walked right over to my daughter. ❤️

So different! The most enjoyable part was watching practice on the back fields. I never knew that was something you could do until this year.

I love that my kids were super stoked to get Ruben Niebla’s autograph.

Yesterday at Spring Training!

Same! 😍

Leodalis De Vries was gracious to come out after practice for autographs.

Got lots of autographs, saw practice on the backfields & watched Manny homer off the first pitch. Baseball is back.

Our first Spring Training experience has been awesome. Thanks to @fatbottomgirlbakes.bsky.social & @michellefrost.bsky.social for the tips! And FBGB - you weren’t kidding about the sun & pushy autograph people. 🙄

no no we don't say "empty carbs" anymore. the preferred term is "emotional support carbs"

This is amazing! Thank you!

This sounds lovely! We will probably be the same way, hiding from the sun. I’m excited to know you can just go to the sports complex in the morning. That’s cool.

I love this! 😂
We’re going to spring training with the kids for the first time. Any tips for things to attend outside of the game? How do you find out or access warm ups/batting practice?

UHC wouldn’t pay for my minimally invasive neurosurgery. They would only pay for the barbaric one that shaves off parts of my skull & brain. So I had to self-fund surgery in Barcelona, Spain. Best decision I’ve ever made, but we’re still paying for it & therapy.

I am very much in favor of merit-based hiring and high standards for jobs with life and death implications. Which is why I oppose confirming Pete Hegseth, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

WATCH: @schiff.senate.gov with a clear warning to Speaker Johnson (and Trump, Hagerty, etc) about conditioning aid to California 👇🏽

Just wrapped up a local SABR meeting. Here’s my summary of pertinent remarks by the Padres’ assistant GM, Josh Stein.

If anyone is having a difficult day, or you just need a pick-me-up, there is a school project where kindergarteners give you a pep talk.

It’s automated and it’s so very precious. 😭💕🥰

I can’t wait for the rain this weekend!

❤️ Thanks! We’re good. Our SDFD & CalFire crews are such badasses. We’re all safe. Thankfully they watched it throughout the night to make sure it stayed out.

Well. Time for another Stone Delicious Double IPA. Had to evacuate again. This time it was in our immediate neighborhood. I may not have any nerves intact by the end of this week.

My algorithm has turned into 75% cats. I’m not complaining, just not sure how that happened. It’s better than 75% about inaugurations & executive orders though.

It was stressful day today. A 🔥 two miles from our house… during red flag warnings. The orange man got inaugurated. Lots of other stuff during the week with loved ones & health issues.

I think I’ll play some overcooked & drink one of San Diego’s finest Stone Delicious double IPAs.

The only king I'll honor today is MLK.
