One year ago!

Been busy running around so I forgot to share but I finished this book yesterday, fittingly while staying about 5 mins from Roger’s Centre. Well done @keeganmatheson.bsky.social you really captured the spirit of the franchise through all the various eras. Must have for any Jays fan! #BlueJays

Couldn’t wait, had to have it today - going to read it on my trip to Toronto in a couple weeks! I’ll be there for the A’s series @keeganmatheson.bsky.social

As both an avid reader and a diehard Jays fan, this is a must own

Even leaving aside the corruption, the "gift" of a presidential plane to Trump — for personal use! — by a foreign government is an astounding and potentially catastrophic security risk for the United States. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/corruption...

Recent reads 4: currently reading this one so no full judgement yet but so far it’s fascinating. Set in the late 14th century, it’s just so far before most of the history I’m familiar w/. Amazing research to be able to tell a story so vividly from so long ago

Recent reads 3: Jesus.. this one is not for the faint of heart. Really important to read and learn about this piece of history as I didn’t know anything about it previous, but still a lot of very brutal descriptions of violence. Not long but hard to read. Also tragic learning the author’s history

Recent reads 2: another book with distinctive parts to it. I really enjoyed the history parts about Dilla’s life; I had less connection to the musicology aspects as I’m not a musician at all. I appreciate that someone’s thought about his music that much but yeah it’s all Greek to me

Recent reads 1: This book was really like two books in one, the first being a story of elder abuse and the second a story about corporate mergers in the #MeToo era. Enjoyed it, a page turner
