Still trying to write a holy litany despite America's silly mood. Only knows how to do one thing well; would rather be whistling in the dark. Now accepting all major pronouns (and 'thon'). May contain cats and echolalia. https://linktr.ee/kiyanicoll

Gonna do a short pinned thread because I was talking about my Philosophy Of Social Media and it seems the sort of thing a body might want to put in a pinned thread.

I am a human being who is doing human being things here. Social media is my workplace water cooler, and I am just some guy.

I dunno, is there anything physical you can do that suits what you want?

You and I both do a lot of stuff that gets us stuck in our heads and feeling like thinking about stuff hard enough is practically doing it.

(I need to stop thinking about my weightlifting and do it now I'm cleared for it.)

This is why the 'just make lots of words and fix it later' NaNoWriMo philosophy crashes and burns for me, my brakes lock *hard* if it's not Adequately Correct and I spin out, heh.

It was both really good baseball for people who like that sort of thing *and* an absolute joy to be up late with all the people screaming about it.

I was chatting through last night's game with the friend I was at That Game Four with, as we recalled the deranged hilarity and the increasing level of 'I no longer care who wins this as long as it stops before the frostbite sets in'. :}

Sorry-not-sorry to all my friends who are going to wake up in the morning and suddenly realize (or remember) with dawning horror that I am actually a baseball fan.

Don't feel sorry for the _baseball_ fans, we're having a fucking ball. This is why I love the game.

The subset of baseball fans who care about the Jays and the Dodgers you can probably feel sorry for though. They're probably having blood pressure issues.

Look, you gotta choose a religious or secular passion to understand suffering outside your control, and baseball is basically an atheist Catholicism

My friends who are used to me posting every couple of days and occasionally rebageling something funny are gonna get up in the morning and go, "Oh. OH. ... we forgot Kiya likes baseball."

Kiya Nicoll @kiyanicoll.bsky.social · 12h

I am literally watching it in text on Yahoo Sports as I have done since the fucking late 90s when I don't have a television.

And cackling like a witch on speed and cocaine.

As the length of the game increases, the odds of "I mean, why not?" approach 100%.

Kiya Nicoll @kiyanicoll.bsky.social · 12h

I just messaged a friend "TOP OF THE EIGHTEENTH" and dissolved into hysterical cackling.

They got this baseball game as a two for one special.

This game is so long we actually have offseason-level posting during a World Series game. I love it.

edit of you wouldn't download a car old meme says you wouldn't end a game. The font is in a rough graffiti stencil style that looks like it's missing paint in parts. the text is inconsistently raised and lowered in the background is a mix of horizontal streaks of maroon and light blue on black like VHS artifacts.

Activated like a lack-of-sleeper agent.

I mean. I grew up a Red Sox fan as a matter of principle. In the 80s and 90s. My mania has never been _hinged_.

Players who have been substituted for aren't allowed to come back so at some point you RUN OUT OF PLAYERS and have to deal with whoever hasn't toppled over yet.
