If I ever win the lottery, I'm gonna fully fund SO MANY aid requests on here.

As it is, I'm unemployed and going back to school full time for a career that is absolutely not gonna make me wealthy, so all of you whose content i enjoy… I'm sorry I can't do more.

The first entry in Don Hertzfeldt's 'World of Tomorrow' series explicitly addresses this.

Bonus: It's also one of my favorite short films ever.

Starbucks using a cover of Sylvester's "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" in a commercial just feels so wrong.

I really wish the Brewers could have come out of that first set at least 1-1 but...

Snell and Yamamoto just put on absolute clinics. So fun to watch.

Fun fact: I once auditioned to play Winthrop Paroo in a local production of 'The Music Man'.

I wasn't chosen, but my father landed a part as one of the school board members (AKA, the barbershop quartet).

I met former Major League outfielder Rocky Colavito once.

We sat at the same table before a Rays game. I was filling out my scorecard. He was eating a hot dog.

Here's one for the "it can't happen here" crowd: People are hiding women & children from violent raids by masked agents who have intel on private gun ownership. If anyone needs me, I'll be here waiting for the "Don't Tread On Me" crowd to leap into action.

Question for #RelationshipSky

My waitress brought me a slice of cannoli cake for free.

Is she hitting on me?
It's a slice of cannoli cake. It's got whipped cream on the side and a drizzle of chocolate.

I was going to get katsu at this little sushi place I like, but I always forget that they close between lunch and dinner service.

So I'm at a pizza joint across the plaza.

Can you tell they're Chicago-style?

They specialize in thin-crust, though. It's really good.
The counter at a small pizza joint. Wood paneling. Green counters. Chicago sports banners, pictures, and memorabilia hanging all over the place.

Required reading:

“Performative allyship can obscure the need for deeper struggle and pacify calls for justice. It often shifts the spotlight away from oppressed people – marginalized, Indigenous, and especially Black voices – and onto White comfort, or worse, White privilege.”
