The Blue Jays took on a team with some of the greatest players to have ever played the game and they took them to seven, and that one was a duel until the end. So much respect

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! If you haven’t read Big Chief by @jonvhickey.bsky.social yet, you need to! It’s a political thriller that takes place on a reservation in Wisconsin. Powerful themes on what it means to belong. Couldn’t put it down, couldn’t stop thinking about it. Highly recommend! 📚
