Introduction 🧵

I’m an old Midwestern white trans lesbian. I write software for a quantum computing startup. I have multiple overlapping flavors of neurodivergence.

I was raised by television in the 80s, so I’m nostalgic for pop culture of that era.

I take too much at face value.

also, I want people to engage with me here on bsky, and you’d ~think ~ the middle of a baseball game is the prime opportunity to do that, but it’s been a ghost town

i’m glad that the Mariners did great, but I’m mostly glad that the game is done, because my timeline was suddenly “oops… all baseball!“

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Small Potatoes and Bad Blood are possibly my two favorite eps

He also did Amazing Maleeni, Je Souhaite, X-Cops, and Sunshine Days

I think Darin Morgan was the only one to really give him a run for his money

The Black Casebook @blackcasebook.bsky.social · 18h

Few screenwriters have ever gone beast mode as reliably as Vince Gilligan did for The X-Files' monster of the week episodes. Pusher, Unruhe, Paper Hearts, Leonard Betts, Small Potatoes, Bad Blood, Folie a Deux, Drive, Field Trip, etc. etc.

I hate being neurodivergent, because not only do I understand Neurotypical people, they don’t seem to understand me

how on earth did they end up in charge?

it's not FOR us

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

absolutely unfamiliar, but I really dig the music vibes. It’s giving really strong maniac mansion.

to be clear, we’re not talking about proper Diet Coke or anything like that

this is a regional grocery store’s best approximation, so i don’t know if it’s preferable to just drinking water

still, that’s less than half of what even Costco charges for Diet Coke
