It's funny doing a "get to know me" post on this site because, for the most part, I just hid in the shadows at the old one. But Hi! I'm Victoria; I live in a half-finished Skoolie in Texas, write about racing for R&T, manage logistics for a small gallery, and work in sustainable food systems.

Get this. First stop of the night, run into a birthday party for another townsperson.

I'm setting up provisions and florals ahead of everyone's arrivals. When I walk downstairs to grab a few things from my car, I run into other friends who had the same idea!

Storytime: A really cool boutique hotel is closing in San Antonio, so a few friends and I booked the penthouse for a couple of nights to say goodbye and hang out downtown without having to drive home. The GM thought that was cool, so he gave us an extra suite. 1/2

I'm going to get really mad when I watch the Lions game tomorrow, aren’t I?

This has popped up since I left town o. Thursday. Will inquire more.

There's a trampoline in the parking lot of my town’s Mexican food restaurant.

There are cults everywhere for those with eyes to see.

Imagine if I were the flower girl.
But no, I wandered by them on the grid and later by their setup on a radio walk.
I also thought they were a cult when they descended the big hill.

I saw a big dog with headphones give up walking up the stairs at petit, panic and make his owner carry him, and truly, same.

Last year at petit, I spent a decent portion of qualifying day fighting with German customs. This Friday is going much better.

I keep getting pushed the Alex Palou merch drop and I know it's not because he needs money for the McLaren suit, but it would be funny if it was.

"Is that me? Is that who they’re booing? Oh well, we’re still in." - I mean, he can be funny.

Did the a ravens defense not show up since Lamar is injured? (salty that Stroud is on my Fantasy bench)

The Athletic @theathletic.com · 10d

Time to check in on the Ravens—

Houston 24, Baltimore 3.

I respect that you’re defined by the things you hate.

This weekend marks 11 years since the sexual assault that changed my life. I feel lucky to focus on sports games and cars going in circles, while not letting it pass unnoticed.
Thank you to my IRL and online community for that.

I forgot that Hamilton and Leclerc qualified sixth and seventh and thought Vassur just snuck in a '6,7' joke.

Victoria Beaver @toribeav42.bsky.social · 12d

That's not what we meant by Heim Time.

Former racecar driver Danica Patrick slams Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl 2026 halftime headliner:

“No songs in English should not be allowed at one of America’s highest rated television events of the year… not just for sports.”

I'm dealing with a cricket infestation at the gallery, and I wonder if anyone passing by has seen me yeet like 40 crickets at a time out the front door.
