okay seattle etsy witches you got your revenge

all of toronto coming into work today

world’s longest world series game (literally)

TWO BASEBALL FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!

Out of all the things that could recreate the manic energy of following Blaseball almost entirely through Internet Posts, I was not expecting actual baseball.

i should be able to click a button at the beginning of a sports season that says “i’m normal” and i don’t get served any ads for crypto or gambling

the merch was so good, RIP 😭 but on the plus side, when people ask about my hellmouth hat, I get to explain to them all about blaseball and the sport lives on! (sorta)

go hellmouth! share into the sun! ☀️

(I bought blaseball merch from the now-defunct store and it remains my favorite outfit to this day)

i have a show coming up and the world series is during my damn tech week

I haven't been following the Raptors but I'm glad they're doing well! And we will just put the leafs in a corner somewhere for now

okay fine I'll admit it. I'm a sports guy. I've been one all along. I love you sportsball. I love you playoffs. I LOVE YOU BLUE JAYS! (leafs are on thin ice)

Googling “blue jays” to check out the score but also fine with finding out how bluejays the bird are doing too

Anatomy of a Haunted House - Small Wonders The exterior of the house peels and scrapes in the sun. Once cream, now smudge-stained yellow, it beckons towards you, long and curling fingers of peeling paint crooked up.

Come closer, closer still, and take a long look at the “Anatomy of a Haunted House” by Avi Burton in our issue 21. Don’t worry, it won’t bite. Much.

I hope so! They certainly feel more prescient. (And I say this as someone with a deep fondness for Asimov’s work—I think it’s great! Just does noooooooot hold up nearly as well.)

classic sff isn’t even all old white men, is the thing. women and poc were always foundational to the genre (see: delaney, le guin, butler, russ, sheldon/tiptree jr). and yet its always heinlein et al who gets recommended. i wonder why 🤔🤔🤔

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

what do you mean canadian health data is stored on american servers and potentially subject to american jurisdiction. what the fuck

every day i log on to the internet and learn 1) there is an incredibly vital piece of government infrastructure

my roommate and I have such different decor sensibilities, it's really fun.

her: let's put up a cute illustration of the eiffel tower? maybe a cat poster?

me: what about a lurid illustration of the skeleton war

her: ....live laugh love sign?

me: S K E L E T O N W A R

it is! It’s great on its own, or as the base for another dish (I like throwing kimchi or an egg on top)

The way that I was raised, being Jewish meant believing that every human life was sacred; to save a single human life meant saving all of humanity. That no law or ritual was more important than saving a single human life.

It's unfathomable that any Jew can accept what Israel is doing in Gaza.
