Should I just screenshot my replies and quotes here and on X? Is there room for 500 uploads?

You'd think that having the best record in baseball, plus beating the brakes off your rival in the playoffs, would make Brewers fans immune to jokes. Laid back, even. But they are as whiny and humorless as ever.

It's wild when people think it's an insult to post the picture ... that the person literally chose to post as a representation of themselves. Yeah, that's me. I look like me.

The 0-3 thing is an absolute non-factor. Meaningless sample.

The real lesson here: it would be nice if anyone besides Michael Busch was hitting well right now.

Yes; but I also try to remember that sometimes a person's disability isn't always super obvious on the surface.

Brett Taylor @brett-taylor.bsky.social · 2d

Something great and useful and important: disability parking. There are a number of activities we simply could not realistically do as a family if there weren't disability parking available. So, whoever came up with that whole deal: thanks.
