I tend to post things at weird hours so I'm gonna repost this, sorry. I wrote about the 2026 Blue Jays, the beautiful surprise of Max Scherzer's last start, and the gulf between how we imagine things and how they actually go: ruheedewji.com/2026/10/13/2...

Enjoyed the Zohran design inspiration this election

Curran Stikuts has defeated incumbent Chris Moise in Toronto Centre,with a lead of 2,187 votes in the downtown Toronto riding.

😭🙏🏽 Good things are possible!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, was this election... GOOD? Did things not just "not get worse" but "possibly get better"???????????!!!!!

where Toronto election results. give polls

Massive shoutout to the couple in the voting line in front of me. Woman was explaining who to vote for to the guy, who seemed like he was there because she asked. "There are two Chows on the ballot, make sure it's Olivia. Curran Stikuts for councillor, he's not our current councillor." Hell yeah.

Alberta transplant here with some hot takes: hell yeah on the remain vote, absolutely not hell yeah on the nine. groundbreaking I know.

I finally got around to setting up an email newsletter for my occasional blog posts. If you want to be notified about them, here's the link. buttondown.com/ruhee (It's mostly just the retros right now, so like one email a month.)

Started reading On the Calculation of Volume I today. Kinda thought it might be a slog based on some of the descriptions, but I blew through like 20% in the time it took me to eat breakfast and drink a coffee. It reads so well. Fascinating to imagine this stretching out so long.

what is some literary fiction or sci-fi you have loved recently? I especially love plotless fiction lately... but I'm just in one of those MOODS where I don't want to read anything on my hold list lol

it's always surprising to me the number of liberal, democrat-leaning americans that adopt right-wing talking points and misinformation when it comes to canadian healthcare

I'll stop posting about this now, but this is one of the nicest things anyone has said about my writing, thank you so much. I appreciate that my annual attempts at sportswriting are resonating with people. Here's to 2027 and a better ratio of good memories to bad ones.

We recorded an episode today about the bike lane removals in Toronto and decided to text Ontario Premier Doug Ford to give him the opportunity to comment. (Yes, we have his real phone number.) He wrote back.

I'm always so thrilled when a Defector baseball piece is by Kathryn Xu

I wolde smyte my lord out on thre piches. Slider withoute. He feleth as he were drenchid. Curveball in the erthe, of cours he chaseth it. Ladybird y-souk, sle thy-self. And bang 97 withinne corner. Thou art out. Thou were alweyes out. Thou hast be out sith the day that thou were born.

More like blake smell

This is an absolutely lovely piece of writing. My goodness. There are only a very small few who can make me tear up reading about baseball (looking at you, @keeganmatheson.bsky.social) but this got me. Thank you, @ruhee.ca. ruheedewji.com/2026/10/13/2...
