Kristin (she/her) - NO LONGER TWEETING

Given that this site's new ownership appears to me to want it to be primarily a place for misinformation and transphobia, I am no longer posting here. Short form posts continue on mastodon. @verumsolum" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mstdn.ca/@verumsolum Please fill wherever you stay with truth and love. - Kristin

@hubick I’m not out the door yet, but I’m becoming skeptical that there are enough resources behind this community project for the number of users it hosts. And I’m being prepared, in case that turns out to be the case. 2/2

@hubick No. After it was down for just a few hours, after being error-filled all day yesterday & after being worried about how quickly it was growing its users & maintaining open registrations when other instances were closing/limiting them to avoid issues. 1/…

My Mastodon server is down and has been all morning, at least when I've tried it. I have a new account set up, just in case, but I'll give it some more time, in hopes that it will start working again, either enough that I can stay there or enough that I can export my follow list

@mockingnerd It all has me too anxious to refer to the sport by name online, because I watch so much Premier League that the British name has started to feel right, but I feel pretentious if I, as a North American try to use it. Online, I often use emoji and call the game ⚽️ instead of either

Anybody else think Twitter's owner should buy Ticketmaster? He could make a real difference for ticket buyers!

Anybody here with a good Mastodon instance (i.e., fairly solid reliability and a likely culture fit for me) with either open registration or with an invite code you could give me? My current instance appears to have grown too quickly, and has been erroring out often.

This is true. And, even if you don’t care about the parade… if you want to keep reading short things I post, you should follow me on Mastodon. I’m more active there than here these days. Link in my bio or in my pinned tweet. Enjoy the #MacysThanksgivingDayParade!

Ten days later, I am mostly on Mastodon when I previously would have been on Twitter. Still reading here a bit, but much less than previously. Unless it's a DM to me, I am unlikely to see much posted here. (Sad to say that after so many years here.)

@hedwyg And we may have a toot or two about Tower Heist, too!

@CheatSheetGuy @selecaoportugal @SEFutbol @FRMFOFFICIEL @FIFAWorldCup @FIFAcom @ESPNFC @swissfootdata @brfootball A moment of slight regret that I unsubscribed from OneSoccer (with the end of the Canadian Premier League season) so can’t watch 🇨🇦 today… at least the World Cup is just around the corner!

Football keeps on moving and Thursday's Fixture Cheat Sheet is here to help you out! A page like this can only move forward with your consistent support too! Getting the word out! #WorldCup2022 teams like #Portugal, #Spain, #Morocco, #Canada, & #Japan with friendlies today!

I am an Apple TV+ sub, so I may watch some games that way (not clear to me how many games will be available that way nor how they'll be chosen). But… it feels like the Season Pass is now priced for only the hardcore fan.

Just got the email about next year's @MLS Season Pass and… I have a difficult time imagining paying for it. I watched games when it was under @ESPNPlus, but Apple will charge 30%-50% more… and that's only for MLS, while ESPN+ gave access to many other sporting events

@JeffPassan As a Jays fan, do you know yet who Toronto is getting in return?

BREAKING: All-Star outfielder Teoscar Hernández has been traded to the Seattle Mariners from the Toronto Blue Jays, sources familiar with the deal tell ESPN.

@DrewGROF Thank you for all the shows! Yours have been the only Jays podcasts I've listened to regularly, and now this Jays fan in downtown southeast Virginia will have to find other ways to keep up with her team outside of games.

Now to figure out who here is also there

I'm still here, but hoping to start interacting more on Mastodon (since this site seems to want me to pay to get a worse experience than before its current ownership). If you want to find me on Mastodon, I'm currently @verumsolum@mstdn.ca there @verumsolum" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mstdn.ca/@verumsolum

Everything happening on Twitter now is a lot easier to understand if you‘ve ever had a younger sibling that invented a game and added a new rule every time they started losing.

It was one of those times where the dream I was in ended up including an explanation for falling. I'm not sure it was a GOOD one, but… the dream memories disappeared in dealing with the actual fall, so I can't actually recall much of the explanation. I just remember it had one

Biggest awkwardness was getting up without aggravating the right pointer finger which has been hurting off and on for… about two weeks now. (It's been getting slowly better in that time, but I didn't want to do something that set it back.)

Nothing like waking up by falling out of bed. (Actually, wasn't too bad… I didn't seem to hit anything on my way down… and @hedwyg helped me find where my glasses got knocked to.)
