Hi, I’m Parker. I make art and sometimes I organize things. The Ballard Bubbler is the name I use when I create or do meetups. The name combines my neighborhood in Seattle and the regionally specific jargon for a water fountain (it’s a bubbler) from my Wisconsin origins.

Giannis and Khris started at the bottom and made it to the top. Really cared about each other and hugged it out big time when they won a championship. There are definitely some big emotions in photos from all the finals games. Probably a lot of good stuff to reference in those moments.

I mean if Kuzma did it that might be news…but otherwise you are fully correct

He was gonna make the 10/20 but not the 10/21 roster

And I kind of like graffiti too. Spent a bunch of time taking photos of street art in Berlin cause it was so good and fun.

I mean good effort but that team is a mess and basically the old bulls. Getting around to no kings with that roster is not even hard

The CJ McCollum “I’m trying” tweet with a picture of CJ McCollum after he has fallen on the floor and someone is stepping over him.

The CJ McCollum meme references when a fan, Jennifer, told CJ to stop talking and win a playoff game on the tweet box. CJ responded with “I’m trying Jennifer”

Rising above and trying to be better is such a challenge

Sometimes your kids are genuinely awful shits and that is still a trap! Parenting is so hard cause I’m supposed to lead with a lesson or an improvement. Maybe teach something or set a good example. But my kid was just an asshole and I responded like an asshole and now we both feel bad. Ugh omg 😳

I’ve probably seen more blue haired grandmothers than anything else in my life. It was a real big craze for the Asian grandmas for a while.

A mimic sleeping roll, clever idea, but that would just be the worst actually.

Good art tho!

We are officially one week away from the Milwaukee Bucks home opener and I’m gonna be there! Can’t wait to see Fiserv Forum and the Deer District again. I haven’t been to a game in Milwaukee since the 2021 run to a championship. Khris will be back with me too!

#NBASky #FearTheDeer

Giannis hugs Khris after winning the championship. Moist Jordan coming back next week!

Picture from the 2021 sweep of the Miami Heat. Donte was still healthy! Middleton was cooking in the midrange! This was THE Bryn Forbes game.

Half the stadium looks empty because it was literally the last game before they fully lifted their capacity restrictions from Covid.

That whole bar is art in a super funky fun way

The Ballard Bubbler @parkerbs.bsky.social · 23h

It’s a visit the WH kind of team so I’d guess yes

Yes, but also I’m pretty sure this is actually how money works. Cause most billionaires seem to have lost touch with reality.

About time we kicked Novak out of the broadcast (think he still does pregame stuff)

Yoooo wow

I really have a huge cereal house. I’m frequently running a half load in the dishwasher because we’ve gone through every bowl we own and have started using random leftover containers.

Gooooooo morning

More teams on BlueSky would be a huge help. Some teams have placeholders too but they don’t use them.

It’s got a weird not camouflage where I know it’s legs but also it throws me off just enough to be like what I’m looking at.

Very fun style.
