Waiting for the Jays game to end so I can watch the replay (shakes fist at blackout restrictions).
In other news, I buy an absurd amount of merch when I'm waiting watch baseball... 😂 👀 ⚾

Thoughts on the Blue Jays game:
Vladdy and Bo getting hit while at bat were not accidents. Front Office has made some - choices. Angel Hernandez is wildin.
Excited for the home opener!! Rogers Centre announcers aren't body shaming pricks who disparage visiting teams.

Settling in with the kids for the Blue Jays game today.
Hopefully someone at Yankee stadium showed the announcers the cover for the video game depicting Vladdy's "rude gesture" 😏
Here's to the "big boys" on the Blue Jays ⚾

It's extremely important to know that many period tracker apps are created and run by evangelical extremist anti-abortion groups as an attempt to eliminate birth control use and there's every likelihood they'll utilize data from these apps to help prosecute people who get abortions.

Broke my leg in September. Knee reconstructed in February.
FELL DOWN THE STAIRS in front of my house this morning and surprisingly: didn't screw up my hip, my leg hardware, or my new knee! Did manage to crunch my OTHER ankle and now I'm laid up, barely able to put weight through either leg.

Five years into freelance games journalism and, largely due to most of my editors leaving the industry and/or being laid off, still in the "Hey, you don't know me, but I'm begging you to give me underpaid work" stage, and, I dunno, man.

I've seen a few of my freelancer friends talk about how hard it is to land pitches ANYWHERE this year, and please do not take it as an insult to your writing. No one has much of a freelance budget anymore. Those numbers have all been slashed to pieces.

Reading what the anti-library joy users on X did to the beloved Librarian Mychal really cements how useless X is as a platform.
I hope it rots.
