At least y'alls' *literal freak out* about Dolly Parton led me to Nico Stratus' bluesky account.

Because honestly, beyond that....? Fucking chill. She's literally just a celebrity. You don't know her as a person, and it's kinda gross the way ya'll are groveling 😒

Not counting out a comeback entirely, but.... yeah, gotta agree at this point! It's like a high-level tennis match. At some point, if you're not dominating, you're better off conserving energy for the next round. This hasn't been pretty for the Jays, but that's fine bc they have another go-round!

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

She scores well off set pieces for Canada, I have to assume she does the same over in Germany!

Trey Yesavage sets a new Blue Jays postseason record with 10 strikeouts… and it’s only the 4th inning 🤯

Since I actually got to witness this one, it's officially my favourite. Also, it was against the Yankees, so I think that automatically gives it some extra credit. No shade to Bautista of course 😁

Megs @meghanm05.bsky.social · 3d

As a lifelong Toronto sports fan, I am genuinely at a loss for words in this game

What I TRIED to say is how badly the Yankees look absolutely, completely, utterly shell-shocked by this performance, and they are not the only ones 😳😳😳 total playoff insanity!!

Megs @meghanm05.bsky.social · 3d

Yankees are absolutely-- dear God we just got another 2-run homer as I was writing this 😭😭😭😭😭

I cannot stop laughing in disbelief. As a lifelong Toronto sports fan, this might be the most beautiful game I've ever had the privilege to watch in my entire life.
