Kat: "You do realize how weird this is, right?"
Extremely weird woman: "I don't think it's weird."
Yesterday, a Republican tried to give me holy water and Trump perfume because I’m “demonic.”

Extremely normal stuff coming from an extremely normal party.

New personal goal unlocked.
Me, in 2015: I have so many huge dreams, ideas, concepts…the world is worth the work.

Me, now: I want to fit an unrealistic number of crab rangoons in my mouth.

For the second year in a row, the Washington Spirit are going to the NWSL championship finals. Where will you be watching from on Saturday, Nov. 22?

Ahead of yesterday's semifinal win, @maustermuhle.bsky.social interviewed goalie Aubrey Kingsbury — who has played for the team since 2018.
The Washington Spirit move on in the playoffs
Goalie and team captain Aubrey Kingsbury saved the day last weekend, but the pressure now ramps up.

I feel seen:

"1.) Preheat oven to 350°F (and take out anything that you store in it.)"

(My cast iron skillet usually lives in the oven when not in use.)

Yeah, they got me with the Susie Suh album.
Happy 20th anniversary to the Sony BMG copy protection rootkit scandal, in which the company secretly installed software to hide DRM technology on CD buyers’ PCs. XCP was a security risk that led to public outcry, class action lawsuits, and, 20 years ago today, a recall of dozens of album titles.

I feel the need to alert anyone who loves #f1 and also knits / crochets or knows a knitter, that Truly Hooked has made an F1 collection of yarn with a colour for each team, and 4 special colours. Even as a Ferrari fan I think they Mercedes one is spectacularly on brand 🧶

May you all tackle this weekend like Brock Faber tackling an elephant.
Brock Faber has progressed from the "Could I win a fight against a bear?" question to the "I could fight an elephant" statement.
