I'm not saying they won because I'm wearing my #Royals socks today, but I'm also not *not* saying that. #HeyHeyHeyHey

The only thing that can save the #Royals season:

It's an empty photo frame because 1) images aren't loading on BlueSky currently, and 2) nothing can save this season for the Royals.

Darn. Can't watch the Royals latest embarrassment because I'm at a chilly, damp beach for the start of beach volleyball season. Even with the conditions, I'm still winning.

Happy #Royals Opening Day to all who celebrate! I'm raising a Tank 7 in my vintage George Brett glass as is my annual tradition.

Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?

A delicious beer, and a stance that more people in America need to embrace.

Doomscroll break to share my lovely St. Patrick's Day dinner: corned beef Reuben and brown butter whiskey cabbage.

Red dinner plate with 1) a Reuben sandwich comprised of gorgeously browned eye bread, corned beef, sauerkraut, thousand Island dressing, and Swiss cheese, and 2) a side of brown butter whiskey cabbage.

Currently only have one bottle of scotch on hand, but that's all I need to enjoy a dram for Burns Night. Sláinte Mhath!

America is a shit sandwich, but you know what isn't? These beautiful Cuban sandwiches I made for lunch.

So as much as everything sucks, we need to keep fighting. Don't accept bad faith arguments or the inevitability of evil's success. Look out for each other, especially those most vulnerable and targeted. Just. Keep. Fighting. (shirt by @bufferingcast.bsky.social) (5/5)

Chatting with an Xfinity agent (probably just a bot), trying to solve a sudden cable issue, and got this response. I'm not interested in making small talk with a bot.

One month check in on my first attempt at homemade egg nog. First sip: it's *very* boozy, which isn't a surprise. It's also very smooth, creamy, and rich—solid nog characteristics. Very excited to see how it'll finish up in another month or so.

Defiantly eating these today because I won't let one of my favorite guilty pleasure snacks be ruined by a color association with orange Shitler.

Apologies to anyone blinded tonight as I walked to pick up my dinner. These gams haven't seen the sun in many months.

post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana or Pearl Jam or Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.

It was the weight of that realization...that not every hero can win *and* walk away from every battle that felt so meaningful, especially in light of what happened to companions along the way. Especially in light of real life. The most realistic ending ever. Cheers, Mass Effect 3! Happy 12th!

I tried taking a birthday selfie and it ended up blurry as hell. Maybe this just is how I look now. This is 43.

Birthday cake? Meh. Birthday dutch baby? OMG, YES! I slathered this monstrosity in cookie butter and it quickly disappeared. (Obligatory cc: @gwillow.me)

My mantra for 2024. Get your own motivational poster from inspirobot.me (which is NOT a problematic AI generator site)

This bit from this collection really spoke to me. Less grief would be a welcome change for 2024. themorningnews.org/article/2023...

This annual post is why I made wearing this shirt an annual tradition on X-Mas.
