i really appreciate this post doing decently well in spite of being pretty sure most of the people reblogging it have no idea that nick castellanos only hits home runs with the commentators are talking about tragedies or destroying their careers
— Castellanos hits a home run while Thom Brennaman apologizes for making a homophobic comment on air
— Castellanos hits a home run immediately after Fernando Tatís Jr. suffers a season-ending injury
— Castellanos hits a home run while the broadcasters eulogize the father of a team employee
— Castellanos hits a homer on 9/11
— Castellanos hits a single while the broadcast talks about one of the Blue Jays’ coaches being arrested for a DUI
— Castellanos hits a home run the night of the Oscars Slap
— Castellanos hits a home run on the day of Pittsburgh Steelers QB Dwayne Haskins’ death
— Castellanos hits a homer immediately after the broadcast talks about a Memorial Day tribute
— Castellanos hits a home run at the game dedicated to Atlanta’s PA announcer who just passed away
— Castellanos hits a home run on the day of legendary Dodgers announcer Vin Scully’s death
— Castellanos hits a home run on the day Queen Elizabeth died
i don’t know how to find the video but there’s also the time an announcer was talking about how he was coming in to commentate on the same day his father passed away and is nearly in tears, but collects himself as the batter steps up to the plate and says “i’ll stop talking about it here, don’t want to pull a nick castellanos.” and the batter immediately rips a home run deep into left field.
the only baseball card i own. i use it to ward off evils.
nick castellanos incurred an enormous karmic debt for which we all must pay
Do you guys think Julian’s parents had a bad relationship, which lead to his negative views on the concept of marriage? Or was he just a professional slut and hater
Realizing that Amok Time, from T'Pring’s perspective, is basically the equivalent of a Vulcan Hallmark Movie, where a holiday (Pon Farr) makes our hero realize she wants hometown boy Stonn and a simple (Vulcan) life instead of big-city (space) boyfriend Spock, and it all comes to a head in an embarrassing misunderstanding in front of her family, is certainly making me feel some kind of way
“I’m basically a big butch lesbian. I hosted lesbian parties for ten years. And let me tell you, they adore me. A lot of my closest friends are big butch lesbians. Certainly my best bodybuilding partners: amazing, aggressive, powerful women. Very dominant over the males in the gym. Not dominant over me, of course. Unless they’re busting my balls, because strong women are ball busters. They’re just like the dudes. They are the dudes. They just happen to be dudes that are dudettes. They understand both sides of the fence; which is why we get along so well. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still friends with a lot of ‘dude’ dudes. But a lot of guys are just too rough around the edges when it comes to women. I don’t want any part of it. I find it grotesque. One term I’ve been hearing these last couple years is ‘body count.’ I’ve heard men say: ‘What’s her body count?’ They’re referring to the amount of people a woman has been with. What a pathetic, disgusting, wormy question. How dare you? This is an independent soul. This is a human that needs to be treated with honor and respect. This isn’t some piece of property you can put in a box. Imagine thinking someone is not worthy of you because they were a little experimental when they were younger, or even when they were older. That’s their choice. Leave them alone. A woman can be with whoever she wants, whenever she wants, however she wants. If you ask me, it all comes down to insecurity. A lot of men think: ‘If she’s had a lot of lovers, there will definitely have been somebody better than me.’ They feel threatened, and they try to make that the woman’s problem. What a sad way of viewing things. No matter how many lovers a person has had, they’ll have never been with another you. Every person comes to the table with what they bring to the table. All of us are exactly what we are, different. And that what makes us all so special.”
I feel like “they feel threatened, and they try to make that the woman’s problem” is like…a perfectly concise summary of 99.9% of misogyny and gender conflict in society.
