The Mariners won and you can tell everyone there is absolutely spent lol. Like they did a half-hearted little dance and Cal looks like he needs a double espresso.

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

the inability to view any stand you personally disagree with as motivated by anything except clout chasing is a true disease of the soul and the fact the sufferers walk around like asymptomatic carriers openly saying things like this and thinking they have been insightful is part of the pathology

her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character

Yeah... that's why I thought it'd be a waste to watch it, alas

Received a dispatch from war-torn Portland. I had dearly hoped my mom would avoid the front lines, but she and her friends are marching to the ICE facility this week. To knit.

Normally as a Portland person I say Fuck Seattle, but tonight I say it with love. Fucking take the World Series, Seattle. That was a helluva game

If the World Series is Mariners v. Brewers, I will be so very happy, and I will also be fucking insufferable about the one-season existence of the Seattle Pilots (who moved to Milwaukee and became the Brewers). In every conversation about ANYthing, I will be, like, "But did you know....."

I texted my dad tonight, he's from Seattle and he's a huge Mariners fan.

Denise Ruttan @teawhilewriting.bsky.social · 1d

I recorded the game because I went to an author talk tonight, but I don't think I need to watch it all now... #Mariners pull off a win in the 15th inning and they've never even been to the World Series? Omfg

The reason you are seeing baseball posts tonight is that the Mariners, my hometown team and my dad's team, have never been to the World Series, and tonight the key playoff game is in the 14th inning and it's a clinch game and we have a shot, by Jove
