Fresno -> Baltimore. Writing center coordinator. Wife guy. JD Vance thinks I'm his enemy for some reason? Used to write about Mountain West football. Enjoys Mexican food, reading, hiking, playing pool, tasty beverages, and baseball.

To borrow from Anne Lamott, here's my "shitty first draft" of a Bluesky starter pack for writing center folks. No clue how many other interested parties are out there, but let me know if you'd like to be added because I'd love for this to be representative of the field!
Wait, wait. *This* fucking guy is in Baltimore?

It's news like this that makes me think, in retrospect, I walked away from writing and thinking about college football at just the right time.
NEWS: Jersey sponsor patches are coming to college sports.
Up to two logos on jerseys, one on equipment. Not allowed in NCAA championship events.
The NCAA Division I Cabinet approved it today, effective Aug. 1.

Interesting choice. Now we'll see if the Ravens can pull (and keep) things together and let Lamar Jackson cook.
The Ravens plan to hire Jesse Minter as their head coach, sources tell The Insiders.
It’s a reunion for the Ravens and Minter, a onetime John Harbaugh assistant who now replaces him in Baltimore.

Congress should not consider adding a single dollar to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) until ICE stops their masked, lawless assault on our communities.

Can't imagine why you'd worry about people whose lives you were actively making worse, unless you were aware of that reality and were simply working to suppress it.
Department of Homeland Security is worried about people with "class-based or economic grievances," per its annual threat assessment (leaked to me):

one of the most satisfying things in the world in the right context is looking at someone with their heels dug in and saying "this is true and happening whether you like it or not"
This is a culture of people who cannot and will not admit they're wrong so they double and triple down. This is the asshole who's posting through it. The entire argument is rich dumb people saying "I CAN'T BE WRONG AND YOU WON'T TELL ME I'M WRONG"

I knew Fresno State's offense was pretty middling this season, but I didn't realize it was "worst offense among FBS teams who finished with a winning record and bottom-15 overall" bad.

Every time I see a Baltimore business or event use AI slop for their social media marketing, it kills me a little bit, but at least it also informs where I want to spend money.

Pretty sure @baseball-reference.com runs, like, ten times as many simulations just to figure out what will happen during the next MLB season.
Brooke Rollins is still at it!
"We had run almost 1,000 simulations, and between $3 and $4 is a fair number if you can have access to that food. I just saw new numbers that were run: a full day, meaning 3 full square meals and a snack, is about $15.64."

No, actually, I know the answer: Upper Fells, Highlandtown, and Canton just have a lot of really good pool players.
In my last four APA pool matches (as a 3, iykyk), I've beaten a 5 and a 6, and I've lost against a 4 and a 3. Make it make sense.

This is pure, unabashed bigotry.
If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.
But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.
A stain on our Congress.
