Explain your username: Abraxas because I was reading Demain by Herman Hesse and that is where the Utena chick speech comes from. Adaxial added to make it conform to Homestuck pesterchum handle norms. At least 13 years later I’m still using it 😆

Explain your username:

Look my original username referenced those wizard books and I didn't wanna reference those anymore, and I love bumblebee from transformers

explain your username:

I started going by “Miss Kitty Fantastico” online when I started watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer as a teenager, but that was often too longer for a username on a lot of sites, so I shortened it to “misskittyf.” It’s stuck for nearly 20 years now.

Time for another week at school, how bad will our transportation department f$ck up this week.

I have a low bar for them based on previous years but boy are they majorly playing limbo with that low bar this year.

A reminder to all my fellow cosplayers if they haven’t figured it out yet: your life will be WAY happier if your reaction to “someone is wearing the same costume as me” is taking the spider-man point picture and screaming at each other about loving the character and the worse points of wearing it

Draft of the recap for the Guardians game in tomorrow's newsletter.

Subscribe to Cup of Coffee for similar hard-nosed baseball analytics. www.cupofcoffeenews.com

Guardians 9, Rangers 8: With Detroit losing nearly an hour earlier the Guardians had already clinched the AL Central. But winning this game like they did – with a four-run tenth inning rally capped off by a walkoff three-run homer from Brayan Rocchio – bolstered a theory of mine: that the Guardians are possessed of more Devil Magic that any team since the La Russa-era Cardinals.
They had a massive comeback here. They clinched their playoff spot on Saturday night on a walkoff hit-by-pitch. They beat Detroit with 57 dinks-and-doinks last week, with the rally being kicked off by their own dude getting hit in the damn face with a hundred mile-per-hour heater. And, of course, they came back and won the AL Central from 15.5 games down despite ending the season with a negative run differential. There is nothing natural about any of this. And they don't friggin' care, man. That's the most unsettling part.
The Cleveland Guardians can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. I don't actually think that means they're World Series favorites or anything, but it does mean that we toy with them at our peril. If they eventually get knocked out of the playoffs it's probably because they just get beat, but it's also possible it will be because they accidentally ran their car over the entire opposing team and were deemed to have forfeited. And now they get the Tigers again after playing them six times in the last two weeks, winning five of those contests in no small part because Detroit seemed utterly spooked and intimidated.
It's almost cruel.

The last month of Cleveland Guardians baseball can be summed up with a quote from one, LeBron James: "In Northeast Ohio, nothing is given. Everything is earned. You work for what you have." and the Good Guys have put in the work! 💪🏻

That the Guardians are going to the playoffs due to a hit by pitch is the most Cleveland thing ever.

Have you ever seen a termite mound? They are splendid structures. Some might even call them works of art. Termites are natural architects, and their mounds are both structurally sound and make excellent use of space. So are they following some sort of plan as they build? Are there termite blueprints

good hyuck, babe! @markpopham.bsky.social · 22d

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

Dr. Vin Gupta @vinguptamd.bsky.social · 22d

Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years.

Speaks for itself.
