Dear ESPN,
Once again, I would like to say that if it is impossible to *watch* two tennis matches at the same time, it is even more impossible to *listen* to two at the same time. Especially when one player in each match is named Taylor.
Sincerely,
Erika "tired of multitasking" Takacs

This country chooses this. We choose, every single time a child is killed in a shooting, to let it happen again. I pray, with my whole broken heart, that we will have the courage to choose differently. Lord, have mercy.

Thank you @newversenews.bsky.social for sharing my latest poem, written in response to Christian nationalist pastor Doug Wilson's recent comment that "women are the kind of people that people come out of." It's called One Interpretation.

Just thinking today about my friend Elizabeth Felicetti on the first anniversary of her death. She was a brilliant priest and author, a fabulously feisty human, and JBap's #1 fangirl. I miss her a lot, and I know lots of others do too. ⚓

Chris Guccione talking with such pride about Jen Pawol is such a hopeful watch, especially after the whole Pete Hegseth nightmare.

Loving this Phillies game. It's like we're all having a conversation with the one guy in the Philly connect jersey behind home plate, because he's the only one making any noise at all.

Found myself arguing with a character (unnamed, no spoilers) in the Netflix show Untamed because when he got shot in the woods he used *mud* to try to stop the bleeding WHEN THERE WAS SO MUCH MOSS EVERYWHERE! He is obviously not a fan of @andrewhunterm.bsky.social or NSTAAF. (Doofus.)

Watching a replay of last night's Phillies game. I really couldn't love Tom McCarthy more, but even so, it warmed my heart to hear him say "two innings or fewer."
