The Blue Jays win and are heading to the ALCS for the 1st time since 2016.

Toronto used a bullpen game to navigate its series-clinching Game 4 victory.

The winning pitcher? Former Orioles RHP Seranthony Domínguez.

If you left me a review on Amazon, it might not be there.

Amazon often rejects your review if you downloaded from KU (versus paying) and/or publicly declared you left one (leading Amazon to conclude we’re friends).

I’m guessing 3/4 of the reviews I’ve been promised never showed up.

Please be discreet when you leave an author a review.
Amazon tends to reject them if you aren't. See post.

🚨There goes the last of Governor Pritzker’s fucks. 🪦
He took that threat of being arrested to heart… and the people of Chicago are marching in the streets because the Chicago mayor and their governor have their backs. ✊🏼

Pendragon Rising @pendragonrising.bsky.social · 3d

Her mother had been killed, her father ensnared by love of an evil woman. The woodsman, named Jack a giant killer, had been hired to kill her to, but he gave her mercy and told her to run. She may have been beautiful, but this treachery would not stand. The forest and 7 little friends would help.

Presenting my poem Earth:

My Earth
Beautiful orb
Slowly spinning
In a life sustaining atmosphere of
Endless azure skies
Ocean and Seas reflected
White clouds dotted
Leaping Dolphins besotted.

My Earth
Peopled by souls migrating
Ever evolving.
Man, animals, birds and insects
On land ever moving.
