Back on here for a travel update. Morning at RDU, warming a stool and sipping a local IPA at Dale Jr’s Whisky River, and “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” is playing. They were out of beer glasses so the bartender filled a giant water glass instead. We’re locked in, y’all. This is peak airport leisure.

the morning after your mom sends you home
with a peace flower
and you say goodbye in the dark
because it hurts to see?"

At DFW. They’re playing a sad-ass Damien Rice song at this Fridays and there’s not a single piece of Paige Bueckers merch to be found. Bummer return flight vibes.

So far at the airport I’ve gotten compliments on my @flagrantmag.com shirt, my @thewsportsbarcleveland.com hat, and my Nina Chanel Abney 3s, so basically results are in guys and it’s women 🤌

I have a feeling this dude and his pals are not gonna be happy when they realize they’re trying to change the acronym from HOMES to HOMOS. 😁

Took PTO to watch the MAC Women’s Quarterfinals by myself and stopped into Good Pizza between games where they’re playing Bone Thugs and I think this is the most “me” day off ever. Put yourself in the way of beauty and all that.

USC WBB at Galen Center in Feb, 2023 (L) and Feb, 2025 (R). Witnessing this program’s growth over such a short period has made me so happy. I’m all in on the Women of Troy.

Well, it’s called Juicy Ass IPA (not Juicy-Ass, which is key, I think) so I see them linking a classic booty descriptor to the pillowy mouthfeel that they’re likely getting from the addition of wheat malt.

Best part about being brand new to this app is I can say I’ve always been a Jaylon Tyson fan and there’s no evidence to the contrary.

Cavs current lineup on the floor is JT, JTT, TJ, TT, and CP and that feels like something maybe?
