To Love a Mariner Podcast
@toloveamariner
Eric from To Love a Mariner. Longtime west coast Blue Jays fan, recent Mariners believer. I also make music. He/they.
All I’m saying is, I’ve never seen Nick Davila and Spinal Tap’s Derek Smalls in the same place at the same time
Last week Bruno destroyed a library book, which Dana had absentmindedly left on top of his habitat overnight. I fessed up when returning it and offered to pay damages, but VPL let it slide as it was a first offence. This was the note when I picked up today’s hold, though.
🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨 Jamie and I dig into the ways in which 'Plan A' for the 2026 Mariners season has not panned out, as well as various attempts to improvise 'Plan B' – from J.P. CRAWFORD moving to third, to the controversial "piggyback." Available wherever you listen to podcasts! ⚾ linktr.ee/tlampod
Happy Solstice! This is me in 2019 at Stonehenge II in Ingram, Texas, which you might remember from the second season of Friday Night Lights
Behold, the Chemical Brothers shirt I’m wearing right now
Thunderstorms during the Mariners series / Thunderstorms during the White House UFC event
Recent CD purchases. Chaotic taste is the best taste IMHO
My partner @danakearley.bsky.social is a disabled artist. She made this.
But speaking of names: like many dance/house producers, Clivillés and Cole worked under several aliases. This is the “variations” section for C+C Music Factory on Discogs:
UPDATE: Dana texted that the surgery went well!! In my continued waiting I may have raided a vegan bakery. Thanks everyone for the well wishes 🥰
Pre-ordered this bad boy. Kenneyism (also by @readtheorchard.org) was excellent, and Alberta politics often portends what's coming to the rest of Canada. Plus I have a masochistic streak, so of course I'll learn about Danielle Smith!
Hiked up Grouse with @jwhite.bsky.social! It was weighing/feeding time at the grizzly sanctuary, so here’s some bear content for @chaoskat.bsky.social
MARINERS FAM: Brent’s GFM could use some traction and I’d be happy to send cards to folks who donate. DM me and we’ll figure it out. I’m thinking $50 for the Hancocks, $30 for Bliss, $20 for Teddy McGraw or the foils. A win-win if you like fun mail and helping people! GOMS
The Mariners, who are very close to a World Series, successfully made it back to .500 today. GOMS
Timeline cleanse: this is Bruno! He’s been in our family since February. Yesterday he was being very cute.
We buried Sofie last night. My partner @danakearley.bsky.social doesn’t really post on here but she made this drawing and I love it so so much.
Sofie passed away just before noon today. She was very old (well over 2 years) and it was her time. She had maybe the most peaceful end of any of our hamsters. My partner had been keeping her cozy in a little nest on our bed last few days. We were both with her when her tiny heart finally stopped. 💔
$2 well spent. The year is 1990 and we’re here to dance
