At peace, if still slightly annoyed. Seattle writer/editor, fueled primarily by coffee, lip balm, and ice cream. She/her. I’m mostly here for the cats. And the books. And the feminism. And the X-Files. Bigots can go pound sand.

Beat me to it, so instead I’ll just drop off this clutch of coordinating torchiere lamps

Five ubiquitous 1990s highly inflammatory halogen torchiere lamps, in black, brass, white, dark red, and…black again, because that was the one everyone had in their first apartment

Vancouver just came downstairs and told everyone to knock it off and go to bed

Cracking up at the Seattle 11 o’clock news going live to the ballpark: The camera lens is still dappled with champagne smears and droplets, and the reporter’s staton-logo jacket is visibly damp.

We come by it genetically; also on the altar is my grandpa’s vinyl album of Leo Lassen’s greatest Rainers calls!

My 78yo mom has a little baseball…altar, in her guest room, and this tape is on it.

I thought the Explodersons, my neighbors who always had fireworks, had moved away. But it seems the Mariners roused them from the depths. 🔱💙💚⚾️

You know how in old crappy cartoons the background was like rock, tree, cloud…rock, tree, cloud? That’s this game.

So I just did a 14th inning stretch in my living room, complete with singing and dancing to Louie Louie myself

Kim Douglas @pagooey.bsky.social · 1d

I was at an Ms-Astros game that went 14, and they made us get up and do a 14th-inning stretch

I’m not sure I will be able to function either, tbh

I’m just catching up with this news now. My condolences on the loss of such a fine floofy lad. (I lost my own Laundry Assistant last year, and it just isn’t the same! 😢)

Kim Douglas @pagooey.bsky.social · 2d

I want to see MORE PORTLAND FROGS. An army of inflatable frog-costumed heroes, intimidating and shaming ICE goons with blank-eyed little jigs, all across the land. Some real I Am Spartacus shit. 🐸🐸🐸🐸

It’s 18yo me, assigned it in my first college French class. I was so bewildered I checked the English translation out of the library…but no, I understood it, I just didn’t get it. Imagine my surprise upon being told it was a comedy.

True. A baseball nap, during a meaningless game on a June Sunday? The best sleep there is, and the conceptual and psychological opposite from me shredding my rally towel, or crying into it.

Being a Mariners fan since their and my infancy is teaching me that I’m too old for this kind of stress, this week.

Newsom is a NON-VIABLE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. None of the quippy clapback posts mean a goddamn thing if he is willing to throw the queer community under the bus at any opportunity he gets to do so.

Sunday I nearly tore my fleece throw blanket in half. Last night I baked brownies but was too agitated to eat them! I don’t know how I’m going to feign productivity around the office tomorrow.

Just popping by the thread from Seattle, where I have grown too old, waiting, for this degree of anxiety. 👋🏻

what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.
