Q: What is the LNP?

A: it's an #OOTP #baseball league, set in a Puerto Rico freed in the 1868 Grito de Lares—which in our world failed more or less instantly.

The Liga Nacional Puertorriqueña began play in 1871, and soon became its world's best baseball league.

It's our job to tell its stories.

New post!

Come check out the league's first HR, grand slam, save, shutout, no-hitter, and more!

I usually don’t like to indulge the ironic guiltposting I constantly see here, but the fact is most of y’all missed out on a super fun time.

That’s OK. Same time next year, more or less.

And if you have cash lying around, we’re still happy to take your donation:

When we started the 1st Annual @nosubsplease.org Triviathon Fundraiser, my goal was to put my ability to be supremely annoying at the service of feeding people.

Which is exactly what I did, and boy, did people validate that. We raised nearly $4,500 for food banks in 21 areas—and we’re not done yet!
A progress report for the 1st Annual No Substitutions, Please Triviathon Fundraiser. From a starting point of $0, we raised $3,985 on the stream . . . and exceeded it by some distance. We’re sitting at $4,355 raised, thanks to 38 of our 46 donors coming through. They’ve given to 39 organizations in 19 states, 1 territory (PR), and the District of Columbia. We are still hoping to make it to an even $4,500! Will it happen?

For the new org we picked up, and for Georgia joining the fundraiser, here’s some especially emblematic pictures of Clark and Minnie.

Do you want more of these? Guess what: donate more, add more states, and you can see more of these wonderful babies!

The widest grin any being on Earth has ever registered, courtesy of floofball Clark, who is currently getting bidirectional pets while his tongue hangs out in spoiled excitement. He is *so* happy. His ears are lowered in love and happiness. His eyes are joyfully round. This could not be a happier dog if he had every treat in the house. Minerva, our dilute tortie, stares at a nutcracker she is 100000% about to smack and get yelled at. Her wonderfully soft and pretty face is full of impish delight in the violence she is about to inflict, her eyes wide with MURDER.

With two days left, *if* Louisa and I manage to get every single question right, and with my matching the first $500, we've beaten my old record of raising $3,317.

But I want to feed people even more than that, and we're not perfect. So help us! Donate! Boost away!

Of course I didn’t forget! One more state and one more organization means one more picture of each of my beautiful pets.

And remember—if we hit that $3,317 number, I’ll randomly select a donor and read a poem of their choice on stream!

What are you waiting for?

Imagine that a particularly fluffy and angelic cloud sprouted two triangular pink ears; a brown eye and a permanent wink; a brownish-pink nose; a little pink tongue open in an adorable smile. You may then have some small idea of how handsome my dog Clark is, as he stands on the wooden floor of my kitchen, bathed in its golden light. Clark, his snout decorated with little streaks of his favorite peanut butter that I haven’t been able to get off him, looks back at me while I pet his ruffly neck. Clark in his natural element, outside in the backyard, where he patrols.

Minnie, my beautiful dilute tortie cat—a rich dark gray with latte swirls marking her right eye, her chin; and down her body—looks concernedly up at the camera, her hazel eyes on full display. Minnie, happy as she lies on her cat bed, getting head pets from me.

So we're busting out the big guns.
