There’s a version of this poem that became a song in the Broadway musical Touch of Venus and it goes:
I swear to you by the stars above,
And below, if such there be,
As a dachshund abhors revolving doors,
That's how you are loved by me.
I swear to you by the stars above,
And below, if such there be,

Vladdy. Special Blue Jays episode with guest stars including Davis Schneider, Alejandro Kirk, Ernie Clement, Addison Barger and George Springer — all essentially muppets themselves.
Current MLB player who would be the best host for The Muppet Show? Pushing in all my chips on Fernando Tatis, Jr. Handsome, bilingual, charismatic, doesn’t seem to take himself seriously and there’s a non-zero chance he can hold a tune

I was all set to Get Really Mad about something online. And then I just took a deep breath and decided to play Neko Atsume instead. Breezy the cat destroyed my pancake cushion and only left me five silver fish in exchange! How rude!

Reminder: In light of Bad Bunny's Superbowl performance spotlighting Latino culture, here's a hefty list of Latino speculative fiction authors I curated if anyone wants to take a gander and read some phenomenal work. Much love to all!

The thing that strikes me is, it’s so easy to like! It could easily be for them, but the people who made up their minds to be mad about it hate joy.
i think people mad about bad bunny’s performance have never been forced to consider that not everything is for you

Bad Bunny reminding people that he is America, that the Puerto Rico has a thriving culture, that Latinx people should be celebrated, that we are stronger together AND the Patriots are handed a humiliating loss? Stop, stop! I can only take so much joy!
