The Blue Jays take Game 5 in L.A. and head back to Toronto with the chance to claim their first World Series title since 1993.

Officially onboarded two mentees for this year 🥹
Both young women have a background in kinesiology and are seeking support in applying to physiotherapy school this cycle. I look forward to supporting them in their goals.

“How pleasant it is to spend an evening in this way! I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”

The cover is pink with text reading: Pride and Prejudice Jane Austen Narrated by Kate Beckinsale

I finished Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen on Apple Books 🌶️📚
Kate Beckinsale’s narration brought the story to life. It was full of romance and wit. I laughed, teared up, and felt completely swept away by it all. One of my favourite quotes is below.
I highly recommend it 💙

Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine Is Awarded for Work on Immune Systems

We are all Dr. Brunkow 😴
“Dr. Brunkow said she did not expect to win a Nobel Prize. ‘My phone rang, and I saw a number from Sweden and thought, well that’s just spam of some sort, so I disabled the phone and went back to sleep,’“ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/h...

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

The image is the Audible cover of The Long Walk. It reads the following: Stephen King Writing as Richard Bachman Read by Kirby Heyborne The Long Walk A Novel Now A Major Motion Picture

Finished "The Long Walk" by @stephenking.bsky.social writing as Richard Bachman from Audible 📚🎧
While it didn't totally grip me, the premise (a deadly endurance contest seen through a teenage boy's eyes) is fascinating.
Curious to see how the film brings it to life! 🎬

"If we lose hope, we're doomed."

We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day – a time to raise awareness for the ongoing impacts of residential school and remember the children who never came home.

Totally agree with this mindset 👏🏼 It's a great opportunity to pause and appreciate what you've accomplished!

So exhausting..

Ooo! That’s gorgeous! 😍
How are you finding the book so far? I’m just over halfway through on The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and have this one next on my list.

Wow!

What a breakthrough moment for these women.

The audiobook cover features a close-up photo of Patrick Stewart resting his chin on his hands clasped together. The background is dark grey. The text on the cover reads: Patrick Stewart Making It So: A Memoir Read by the author

Just finished Patrick Stewart’s "Making It So" on Audible, also beautifully read by Stewart himself 📚🎧
From childhood to Shakespeare to Star Trek to X-Men, it’s heartfelt, witty, surprising, and full of insight. It's definitely a must-listen! 💙

Grateful to have co-chaired this year’s @heartlunginnov.bsky.social’s Research Day 🫀🫁 We also hosted an Early Career Night to connect with the invited speakers. Both events were fun, well-attended & positively received 😄 Feeling proud of our team’s work! ✨ #TraineeLife #GradSchool

The idea that an instructor can and *should* be fired for daring to teach something not explicitly mentioned in course catalog is the pinnacle of the "students as customers" idiocy that's been steadily destroying American universities for decades now.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

The audiobook cover shows a man with a black mustache and a grim expression in a black shirt. The text on the cover reads: Big Brother Is Watching You George Orwell 1984 Unabridged Read by Simon Prebble

Finished Simon Prebble’s narration of Orwell’s 1984 📚🎧
A thoughtful classic that feels very relevant to current events, full of unforgettable quotes & insightful lessons. Glad I finally read it & excited to continue exploring other banned & challenged books on my list! 💙
