If I'd had my 'druthers, I would've finished this before the WBC final.
As it turns out, it was worth waiting to see how much, once Venezuela won, it suddenly became OK to say what I've always said about Team USA.

Because I’m famous for my great decision-making, my second newsletter piece is a supremely irritable rant about how you all let white baseball players off the hook way too easily.
Have fun with that:

The personal irony here, and I’m revealing this knowing one of my fellow boricuas on here lives close enough to yell at me in person over it, is that I wasn’t even a big Bad Bunny fan before Toilet Paper USA threw their little tantrum.
I became one the same way I keep getting up every morning and going to work at a place that produces chuds: out of spite.

I just took some of the best Minnie pictures I've ever taken.
There are 34 states left to light up on the board.
You all get to enjoy a Minnie picture every time we get a new state to participate in the fundraiser.
Capisce? Then fill out the form and let's all get some cat pictures on the timeline:
https://nosubsplease.org/1st-annual-nsp-fundraiser/
And to celebrate Nevada and Minnesota becoming part of our fundraiser, here’s two pictures of our dear Minerva.
For every new state we light up on the board, I'll post another picture of Minnie.
And if we hit our goal—and I’ll say we’re still around $1,000 away—I’ll randomly select a donor and read a poem of their choice during the stream on the 25th.
So what are you waiting for? Help me and @Louisa feed some people this Thanksgiving!
Again, the form and explanations:

As promised, three pictures of Clark, for the three new organizations to which people have pledged.
Want more pictures of Clark? Donate to our first annual @NoSubsPlease triviathon fundraiser to help food banks across the United States! One picture of Clark per new organization pledged!

It’s the greatest day of the baseball calendar: Roberto Clemente Day.
An entire life, on the diamond where he proved himself the greatest player of his generation and off it, where he put every atom of his mind and body to use improving the profound injustices he saw in the world around him, spent reminding us of one of the most immutable truths of the universe:
When you want the job done right, you call the boricua. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
