Postseason baseball kicks off in an hour! While you wait, read about how the national game captured my heart. And then maybe write about your own joy of baseball.

my joy of baseball

Everybody was a Reds fan, and everybody played little league, but that's not how I fell in love with baseball.

So welcome to have a mayor who supports the arts (and especially theater) and attends events and celebrates them.

Mamie "Peanut" Johnson was a really good baseball player. So at 17, she tried out for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. She was rejected. Because... Black. But she'd go on to be the second woman in the Negro League, and first & only pitcher. She was born 91yrs ago today

in your next zoom interview have not only a cup of ice coffee but seven or eight different cups of various beverages just off camera and casually drink from each of them throughout the interview the drinks should have fancy straws or colorful parasols or large pieces of fruit on the edge of the cup

43 years today since asylum, 38 as a citizen. I don't mention it often because patriotism's been invaded by jingoists and nazis and no thanks, but I pledged allegiance to this country's self-proclaimed values on purpose. I worked to embody those values on purpose. It's a lot of work!

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

@amnh.org maybe time to update the card about bald eagles? eagles.org/what-we-do/e...

Explanatory card in the American Museum of Natural History, written perhaps in 1972, stating:

BALD EAGLE
The Bald Eagle, our national emblem, has decreased greatly in numbers but is still common in parts of Alaska. In November, when the chum salmon spawn and then die, the eagles, old and young, congregate in considerable numbers on the Chilkat River, as shown here, to feed upon the salmon. They are joined by other scavengers such as gulls, magpies and bears. The young eagle lacks the white tail and head of the adult bird.

Text from website of the American Eagle Foundation:

Bald eagles once teetered on the brink of extinction, reaching an all-time low of 417 known nesting pairs in 1963 in the lower 48 states. Now, the bald eagle population has climbed to an estimated 316,700 individual bald eagles, including 71,400 nesting pairs. This estimate indicates that the bald eagle population has quadrupled since the last set of data was collected in 2009.

Like the folks at Defector, I found out about Annie Dillard and suddenly learned you could do things with words that I didn’t think were possible. Whatever little bit of a writer I have become, I owe a big chunk of it to her. Sometimes I fear my pieces read like a bad imitation of Annie Dillard.

I do not think they understand what 100% means

A sign on the outfield wall at Rate Field reading “The only lender 100% in Spanish”.

Rate field is a dumb name and I assume that is because it is named after a stupidly named company.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.
