👋Hi. I'm a freelance culture writer. My beats include: necropolitics, tech, gaming (especially #boardgames), politics, history, travel, food & drink (let's talk #beer), lifestyle, entertainment, & sports. I've written for several awesome pubs. I'm working on multiple books.

This is my🧵of clips-

Pst- I did *not* get to sleep early. Or at least not in the went to sleep at the single digit numbers of the evening last night early. I'm going to sleep now in the early morning small numbers now. This was not the plan, man.

However, while my team wasn't productive yesterday, I was... Goodnight.

They haven't won in a bit & I get it. I was legit hoping for a Mariners v Dodgers run personally as the super underdogs, but I get it. Glad that you're not a hater. There are some salty folks on this timeline hating on the Dodgers. 🤣

My friend, I didn't picture you as a Dodgers hater, but the Jays absolutely earned their win tonight. We played like total shit.

Jennifer Stavros @scandalous.bsky.social · 8h

And that's a wrap for tonight. It's an early one. Hopefully, the next game is better because my goodness. At least we can get some sleep tonight & time with our families.

Jennifer Stavros @scandalous.bsky.social · 9h

It would have been better if there had been a rest day between these games. I bet both teams would have agreed about it given how late last night went.

Nonetheless, Dodgers should not be doing this badly tonight. It's on them to pick it up.

Wow the boys are tired & bombing tonight. Not great. Sigh.

Jennifer Stavros @scandalous.bsky.social · 10h

Oh what? They are actually pitching to him tonight & not just intentionally walking him? Respect for that.

Jennifer Stavros @scandalous.bsky.social · 10h

Ugh. Two-run home run, Blue Jays just now. Blah.

Jennifer Stavros @scandalous.bsky.social · 10h

Dodgers are on the board!

I wrote a mini thing that I will post in a moment, but for now, #ITFDB. Pull up a chair & join me for the live responses while I attempt to work & continue to navigate the whole surprise family death thing yesterday-

Got a phone call from a family member, which meant, of course, one thing- someone died. Thankfully, that someone dying wasn't my grandpa- but it was his younger brother. Damnit. #fuckcancer RIP Uncle Jules :( You were a good one.

Jennifer Stavros @scandalous.bsky.social · 1d

Ok, Uncle Jules. Now that the game is done, I can finally really stop & say this: even though we absolutely did not agree with each other on politics & I didn't see it before you passed, thanks for the help with the team win tonight. It was pretty epic. Thank you for being kind to this black sheep.

Jennifer Stavros @scandalous.bsky.social · 1d

I love how I went to update the Wiki about postseason games having extra innings shortly after the game was cinched to see that it was already done. Two of the five times it's gone to extra innings were by The #Dodgers in Game 3. It was almost 7 years to the day past Muncy's finish. #worldseries

Jennifer Stavros @scandalous.bsky.social · 1d

Walk off home run by Freeman!! Dodgers win!! Fuck Yes!!! 🎉🥳

Bottom of the 17th & it’s time for a meme.

Jennifer Stavros @scandalous.bsky.social · 1d

They really need to make a rule about limiting the number of times a team can do intentional walks. It's such a bitch ass move. #WorldSeries #baseball

Jennifer Stavros @scandalous.bsky.social · 1d

Two more now, please. And by two more, I mean runs in for the Dodgers- not two more innings unless we win in those two innings. My god, it's getting late.

Jennifer Stavros @scandalous.bsky.social · 1d

I have two friends is other windows texting me about the game. One of them said his daughter could stay up tonight until the game is done & is now regretting it. This game is bananas.

That was tense right now, but fuck yes!

Jennifer Stavros @scandalous.bsky.social · 1d

My god this game...

Jennifer Stavros @scandalous.bsky.social · 1d

And they hit another one of our batters to walk em. Second time tonight. Such bs.

Jennifer Stavros @scandalous.bsky.social · 1d

And with having that hotel to watch the games, tbh. That's fucking awesome.

Jennifer Stavros @scandalous.bsky.social · 1d

Ok, nice try with the attempt to steal home just now. Boy bye. Next up: we gotta finish them. Go #Dodgers
