I do not think it is fair for mosquitoes to target me in my own home. Like vampires or the cops, they should need to be invited in.

Another episode of Heavyweight for you to listen to and hopefully enjoy.

It feels very surreal & very lucky to be back with a new season of Heavyweight after two years. I hope you enjoy.

I couldn’t be an umpire cuz I’d flinch every time a pitch was thrown. Also probably cuz of sexism or whatever

Win-win proposition here: do some good and get some bona fide, handwritten mail from @heavyweight.bsky.social’s Kalila Holt (can confirm, as charming as you imagine!!)
