how did espn manage to fuck up the audio this badly on jackie robinson day during a dodgers game

I feel like I have nothing to write. "Genocide is illegal and Trump must be tried for war crimes" feels, somehow, *under*whelming in this moment.

so grateful for my friends who read to make this version of the story exist

I was lucky enough to get to read an early draft of this story by @mortuaryreport.bsky.social and I fell in love with in instantly. I still think about this story all the time and am so happy it found a home at @escapepod.org escapepod.org/2026/03/26/e...

thank you my friend!!

i love this. a die for a barbarian!!

shoot forgot alt text. ALT: a sculpture sits outside on grass with plants in the background. the center is a massive lightbulb. it is surrounded by a handmade sculpture. a circular wooden piece surrounds the glass, suspending it above a round metal base. a scaffolding of metal holds the edge

totally get that!! i really enjoyed the plasma cutter. not really welding at all but quick and dirty. i mostly use the acetylene torch, the oxyA is for very very very fine work. this is what me & D made—my mom found the bulb floating in the ocean! what have you worked on?

rather paranoid than lackadaisical!!!

honestly you’d have to do a lot of changing the tanks around for the right set up and attachments. it would probably be better to get one specifically for the jewelry side of things. we also have flashback arrestors for safety. do you have my #? you can text me anytime w q’s

how do you like welding? i didn’t mesh well with the teacher’s teaching style so i don’t feel like i learned very much unfortunately, but we did make some cool stuff

we took a welding class earlier this year! totally different techniques and approaches, lemme tell ya. i have two torches, one is oxy acetylene, the other is just oxy. some people use oxy propane.
some people use butane but that’s mostly people just playing around. not hot enough!

happy belated TdoV! i spent the day being very perceived by other humans because i was teaching my metalsmithing class

So yeah, I love this and blame @mortuaryreport.bsky.social for writing it and @jordankurella.com for reading it. Or thank them, that’s it. Trans excellence + baseball + aliens + Mr. Met = totally my jam or something.
