There are three baseball teams I would not mind seeing win. I definitely have a preference for each of them, but sadly, nearly every team Ive wanted to win any series this entire post-season has lost

Gimpleg Ska @gimpleg.bsky.social · 7h

I dont believe you. I swe this with Astros, Redsox, and Cubs fans. You think you want one... but once you get that one you will become just as intolerable as the others.

Oh, and abortion laws would make sense again? How did I miss the big one. If Dems got elected, the government would no longer be a part of your family planning or medical decisions?

Gimpleg Ska @gimpleg.bsky.social · 1d

If the Democrats got elected we wouldnt have taxation without representation? You'd have a Supreme Court with as many justices as there are districts? And the filibuster, which is functionally nuked anyway and doesnt exist in the Constitution might be eliminated altogether?

Whilst we're on the subject of shocking living things, did you know police departments routinely shock human beings with tasers until they die and chalk up their deaths to a fake medical condition they call "excited delirium" that was invented by taser companies to absolve themselves of liability?

Also considered North to the Future for brown, because its actually brown and not tan, but I really love this FRS album

Gimpleg Ska @gimpleg.bsky.social · 3d

I considered a three way swap with Space Monkey Mafia switching the Purple, using the green Pkmps album, and picking a different fray album (Eevie Echoes, Kill Lincoln, and Jeff Rosenstock all come to mind) but I really wanted the new Joker's Republic album

Gimpleg Ska @gimpleg.bsky.social · 3d

I love it!

Gimpleg Ska @gimpleg.bsky.social · 3d

That was long before I found your account and yoh just made me cry. I love when people remind me that the world is worth fighting for

Gimpleg Ska @gimpleg.bsky.social · 3d

That would be incredible. What are some of the albums? I didnt know you worked on cover art, but I wouldnt be surprised if some of them were albums I considered for the list

Gimpleg Ska @gimpleg.bsky.social · 3d

Thanks. I really wanted to get Eichlers in pink or yellow, but those are all single covers and not albums. Also, Im really happy I dropped Joker's Republic's album on the list 2 days before it releases, but it definitely deserves the spot

Gimpleg Ska @gimpleg.bsky.social · 3d

Ska album color grid, inspired by @rjphoenix.bsky.social My list is all post 2020. Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Pink, Brown, White, Gray, Black, Orange, Purple, Wildcard (any album that doesnt fit a predominant color scheme).

Yes, I count tan as brown

Album covers for Exhoes and Ghosts by Call Me Malcolm, Where Did All My Friends Go by Mustard Plug, the hand youve been dealt by Joker's Republic, Art Theft by The Boy Detective. Ordinary Life by We Are The Union. Moonflower by Flying Raccoon Suit, Death of the Heart by Jer. Death of the Party by Space Monkey Mafia. Can't Complain by Kill Lincoln. Doom Garden by Catbite. Bottom of the Pomps, by the Pomps. And The Road to Sedition by Faintest Idea.

Appreciate the correction and the song!

Gimpleg Ska @gimpleg.bsky.social · 7d

I dated a Yankees fan for a long time and now they are my secondary rooting interest. I hate the Cubs because of the Cubs fans at Reds home games, but @bcbsara.bsky.social and @infieldflygrl.online love the Cubs and are some of the best baseball accounts Ive followed, so I hate rooting against them

Gimpleg Ska @gimpleg.bsky.social · 7d

Im mixed on most series. Brewers over Cubs, but there are a lot of Cubs fans that I really like, and I wouldnt be upset if they were happy.

Yankees over Jays but I like the Jays

Phillies over Dodgers, but I dislike both

Mariners over Tigers, but I dont dislike the Tigers

When you have only a week off between original music tours and you use it to record and release ska cover song music videos! And we get Em on vocals for the first time!

Thank you @skatunenetwork.bsky.social

3 for 4 with the only game I really cared about being the L

Gimpleg Ska @gimpleg.bsky.social · 10d

For the record, the team I was rooting for lost all 4 games yesterday

Gimpleg Ska @gimpleg.bsky.social · 11d

Things that hurt less than this game

My foot post surgery

Gimpleg Ska @gimpleg.bsky.social · 11d

Yes. Yes it is

Gimpleg Ska @gimpleg.bsky.social · 11d

Thays a single. The road to a comeback has begun

Gimpleg Ska @gimpleg.bsky.social · 11d

How many points is a double worth? Lets go REDS! Bye bye no hitter!
