On the road to hell there was a railroad car...

women’s pro baseball begins one week from today. it’s the first time in over 70 years that there has been a women’s pro baseball league here in the u.s.

the inaugural season will take place entirely at Robin Roberts Stadium in Illinois, and will have four teams:

the Boston Hunters, named after Dr Harriot Hunt, one of the first women in the u.s. to practice medicine

the Los Angeles Queens, named after Lizzie “the queen of baseball” Murphy, the first woman to play against major league baseball players

the New York Heights, named after Dorothy Height, an activist for Black civil rights and women’s rights

the San Francisco Firebells, named after Lillie “Firebell Lil” Hitchcock Coit, who worked with San Francisco’s volunteer firefighters

controversial stance but i do wish i could live forever. i certainly live like i'm going to live forever. i take my time. realistically however my lifespan is dreadfully limited and there are things i've "been meaning to do" that i will never get around to. the Emoji Movie came out almost 10 years ago. in all that time on any random day i could've decided to sit down and watch it, and i did not. how many more decades will slip by like this? conceivably, it could be all the decades i have left. watching the Emoji Movie would not be, after all, a crucial use of my time. much better things to do. i could easily postpone it over and over and over until my final breath where it may not even register to me that i never did watch the Emoji Movie. no great loss, certainly; and yet i find myself intrigued by Patrick Stewart's involvement

Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly. Only if you do that can you hope to make the reader feel every particle of what you, the writer, have known and feel compelled to share.

Anne Rice, from the forward to a collection of Franz Kafka's Short Stories

I wish people would stop saying “It’s July. Well done for wasting half a year.” Did you make someone smile in the past six months? Did you stroke a cat or throw a stick for a dog? Did you learn a new fact or teach someone a new joke? Did you laugh, cry, scream or sing in the past six months? Because if so, congratulations for not wasting your time at all.

Happy 10th birthday to this, my post of all time. Glad to have spent the last 10+ years wasting my time on tumblr with you all 💖
