A coworker said,”I mean this as a compliment but you have one of the most intimidating faces I’ve ever seen.” I dined on that compliment for months. Hell it’s been years.

bringing over a question i asked twitter years ago that felt like such a healthy and affirming exercise, and netted me some great friends:

what's your favorite compliment you have ever received?

same answer then and now: that i carry myself with genuine integrity 😭 i felt so seen!!

Okay I'm watching Detroit vs Seattle and I really have no routing interest in either team outside of who is gonna play my Blue Jays. Skubal starting tonight means he won't start until G3 or 4 right? Lots of Jays fans in both parks. Still, no idea so I hope both teams have fun!

Shoot, forgot the men's national team was playing the Aussies. Let's go #CanMNT

"And then, Big Papi, when I'm celebrating in the Yankee Stadium clubhouse, we can both say 'DAAAAAAAA JANKEES LOSE!' together, okay?"

"Take your vitamins and work hard, and maybe it'll happen, kid"

A photo from the 2010 MLB All-Star Weekend of a very young Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hanging out with Red Sox slugger David Ortiz.Lil' Vladito is pointing at something for Big Papi to look at.

Maren Aukerman, an education professor at the University of Calgary, says the Alberta government's nearly 200-page "tool kit" hops from one topic to another without context and barely aligns with the provincial curriculum.

Yay you found it!!!!!

Marsha🇨🇦 @empressmarsha.bsky.social · 1d

And I already got a good hotel booked and rates so yeah, we’re good

Marsha🇨🇦 @empressmarsha.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, I think I’m definitely leaning towards that. For the ALDS, that’s exactly why I flew in the day before because I do not want to mess around with flights messing up my Bluejay games. And you never know with everything going on!! Plus I got family and friends. I can hang with if I really wanted

Oh interesting. Maybe read the article wrong. Oh well. Let’s f’in goooooooooooooo

Marsha🇨🇦 @empressmarsha.bsky.social · 1d

The article I read said 5 o’clock or eight, depending if Milwaukee wins and get gets into the NLDS. I guess wait and see.

Marsha🇨🇦 @empressmarsha.bsky.social · 1d

OK, sports fans, I had booked my flight for Saturday landing around 5 PM. But with the game now set for an 8 PM start on Sunday, should I switch my flight to an early one on Sunday instead? That’s a long ass day to do nothing on Sunday. Yeah I can do stuff but it’s still a long day. #BlueJays

Marsha🇨🇦 @empressmarsha.bsky.social · 1d

I booked my flight for the day before, but now I’m considering rebooking for Sunday but now I’m not sure. That is such a late start. Basically I have to have a five hour nap that day or something.

Marsha🇨🇦 @empressmarsha.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks, very exciting. It looks like game one is an 8 PM start eastern and game two depends on who the other team is in the NL CS so I might be five or eight. Seems a little late.

Marsha🇨🇦 @empressmarsha.bsky.social · 1d

Just heard game one is 8 PM start and game two will depends on who that is so either five or eight or something? Just got an article notification from Sportsnet. Smidge later than I thought, 8 PM starts seem late. And our dome will definitely be closed.

Yankees fans not beating the allegations

Héctor Gómez
@hgomez27
Last night at Yankee Stadium, fans attacked Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s family members with plastic bottles during Game 4 of the ALDS between the Blue Jays and Yankees.

Among those attacked was former MLB player Gabriel Guerrero, Vladdy Jr.'s cousin.
