The women in my fantasy baseball league made a very scientific MLB hotness bracket this year and the winners were indeed Julio Rodriguez and Dansby Swanson

What about just paying Señor October $4 million a year to only play in October He can sit on a beach ripping pokemon packs and working out 11 months a year. The regular season is boring for him!

Boyfriend and I have been rewatching Legend of Korra and anytime Korra and Asami have a scene together one of us shouts “KORRASAMI WATCH” and I’m really enjoying the bit

When I say they couldn’t make something today, I don’t mean it in an anti-woke way, I mean it in a “tech companies destroyed network television and what made it special and now we don’t get fun shows that run 22 episodes with filler episodes that let you really get to know the characters” way

It’s one of my favorite movies and is one that does incredibly well on rewatch too — I’ve seen it probably 10+ times and notice something new each watch

Love a direct, to the point queen. Say it plainly and leave no space for bad-faith bullshit.

Asked why the WNBA continues to experience these heightened distractions, Cloud said, "Men."
"The men now that are like 'Oh, we need to protect the WNBA,’ y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't be paid," Cloud continued. "Y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't have been invested in, saying we're a joke, the same ones that don't respect Black women. So, if you're going to protect women, that means all women. That includes Black women, trans women and the list goes on."

And, one of the hallmarks of a great series, the characters feel like my friends rewatching the show! I was 10 when the first season came out, but the show never underestimated the kids watching. These themes and topics are so heavy, but it’s still 100% a children’s show. I just really love it

Madelyn Starr @madelynstarr.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

I’m rewatching for the first time since I really took my writing career seriously, and honestly? This show is fantastic. Such a great example of efficient storytelling, worldbuilding, plants and payoffs over the course of seasons and series, and of course characters! I love these kids so much

The history & woman behind the name is great for the sport but nothing specific to LA. The other teams all have cool connections to the city and ours is just…. playing cards?

Teams with higher payrolls stink. Teams with lower payrolls are right in it. The fact that the Dodgers are VERY good and have a VERY high payroll is going to be used deceptively, in bad faith, to try to pit fans against the union.

This was a prospect trade situation, not a highest $$$$ situation. Other teams like the brewers could have beaten the dodgers’ offer and gone all in on trying to win this year with Miz and Skubal but chose not to.

I’m outlining a WIP I’ve been researching for a while, and I always have the same problem: I know very strongly where I want to start and end, but the entire middle is a mystery to me. How do you get from point F to point R??

Madelyn Starr @madelynstarr.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

100%!!!! The scorebug was awful. I also think the LA team got the worst name and branding which is unfortunate. But worth it to have women’s baseball!

The ATLA movie was so good and so cinematic, it’s such a shame it’s been jerked around so much. It was so much fun to see it a theater, and wonderful to spend time again with these characters I’ve loved dearly for 20+ years

All the wives that came before Rhian are dead. ✨ fairy tale retelling 💍 marriage of convenience 👻 haunted house 🏔️ remote setting 🧵 unique magic system 🕯️ gothic & horror elements #QuestPit #Q #A #F #Gothic

An Agent’s Guide to Maiden & Serpent
102k Adult Gothic Fantasy
“Bluebeard” Retelling

The Pitch

All the wives that came before Lady Rhian are dead. Her new husband is older, thrice widowed, and a notorious merchant, and that's all she knows about him when he sweeps her off to his opulent castle in a remote village. When she arrives at his home, deep in the mountains and far from her family, she receives no welcome: the villagers view her with suspicion and her husband ignores her.
In her husband's house, she's drawn to remnants of his late wives. Their ghosts follow her, reminding her that she's a replacement. As she forces her way into the community, she uncovers its greatest secret: magic still exists there, even after it was drained from the rest of the world. And though Rhian can use the magic, it may be more of a curse than a gift.
Mages go missing, and those that are left give more of themselves to replenish the magic in the land before it's lost forever. Rhian's newfound power exhausts her, but she feels pressure to help the entrenched community even as it rejects her. Both fascinated by and jealous of her, her husband finally shows an interest in their marriage. When winter comes, blocking the roads with snow and cutting her off completely, she must balance her growing feelings for him with uncovering the dark truths behind his wealth, the missing Mages, and the ghosts that dog her every step.

Between this and the discovery that solar panel shade can actually _increase_ certain crop yields, people are discovering that there are truly extraordinary opportunities to make better use of the earth's surface area with solar panels. There's so much power waiting to be harnessed!

Tried to get Avatar Aang tickets and the AMC app didn’t open them at 6am so by the time it opened, all the showtimes had been filled on Fandango. And now every time I see a seat I want in any combination of numbers (1 , 2, 3,) by the time I finish my order I get an error because someone else got it

This sucks. Hopefully only the true believers go and the rest feel ok opting out. It’s an off day between Philly and NY series and a total pain in the ass. Plus I’d imagine most of them would rather spend the day in NYC than schlepping to DC, all things being equal.

I’m very loud about my favorite Dodger being Will Smith and that means people tend to assume I have a crush on him, which is really annoying to me. Can a girl not appreciate a talented catcher without it being a crush? Besides obviously the hottest Dodger is Kiké

I drive a very small hatchback and some of my family encourages me to get a bigger car because it’s so much smaller than other vehicles now but I don’t want to be in a giant car arms race! I live in a city! Small zippy cars that let you see pedestrians and squeeze into parking spots are better!
