Explaining my old job's death by a thousand cuts turned nervous breakdown to a new therapist and OH BOY it's a reminder how much I was convinced by them that I was the problem.

Orlando Bloom applauding comment is the only vibe I want in life. 💀😂🫶

Only the Ford government could mess up giving out money. Check out this great article by @artchamberlain.bsky.social on all the messy ways Piccini is messy. #OnPoli www.trenthillsnews.com/p/piccinis-m...

Recognized by his bad tattoo 💀 It's hard to put to words but these two together make a lot of sense. But the war for who wants more attention will presumably make them fall apart... www.deccanherald.com/features/mus...

Hot tip, whenever I'm given a note that's nonsense I try to include the phrase "best practices" in my response for explaining what I've done. 💀 I will never forget being asked if I knew about colour theory by the same person who asked me what an asset is.

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

He thinks being from UK won't matter because the job isn't as "culturally specific" as detractors think. Then @aislingmurph.bsky.social hits us with this: 🧵.... (Read the whole article!)

Oh love to see @aislingmurph.bsky.social follow up the feature with the tea. Zero artists tralallaaaa #Stratford #ArtisticDirection Real talk, the person many thought it would be is someone I dooooon't love, but he would've actually been good for the festival. 🤷‍♀️

Jonathan Church has been named the new artistic director of the Stratford Festival, ending months of speculation over who might get the top job in Canadian theatre. Lots more in @theglobeandmail.com: www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/stag...

British old white guy instead of one of the oldish white guys from here that were the presumptive successors....that tracks. #Stratford #ArtisticDirector

Did a barely discerning grab at the library to refresh the nephew's selection and got home before realizing I grabbed a @michaelianblack.bsky.social book! Accidental victory 🙌 ✌️ ❤️

Sadder than usual that @realsambee.bsky.social isn't on tv right now BC no one is using Ted Cruz's "why am I persecuted" acting student clip and there are so many opportunities right now with his new character workshopping. #TedCruz #Acting

Listening to a story of actors teasing their actor "friends" about wig + costumes for a show that's just opened is just diabolically gross. Take it from this old lady: The ppl who think being hot shit for being "honest" > supporting you as you head into a run = not real friends.

In the comments of the videos of Dora-winning artists calling for the theatre sector to Speak the F up is an accusation that I have heard so many times it is impossible to ignore. #TheaTO #Blacklist #Censorship #FuckThatGuy

Everyone deserves clean drinking water. Can you put your elbows over there please?

Just living my best life e-biking on an island totally unsafe for cyclists, and getting home to trip on a baby gate for the worst fall I have had in years. 🫠

We are fortunate to live in the northern part of Turtle Island, but in our "elbows up" era let us not forget we are no better or worse than any nation, and we have a harmful history and present to contend with.

This is S,DÁYES, the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including SENĆOŦEN speaking W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations. I am grateful to live in one of the most beautiful places. And yet. The island is also a reminder of colonization: there are little to no old growth trees here. We did that.

Relatable Queen.

"Regional" theatre programming trends across the country are faaaascinating. 2025 shall be remembered as the summer of Waitress. (Shout out to Scott Penner's designs (ALWAYS) and the fact Michelle Ramsay designed multiple productions!) #Theatre #Waitress

I only just learned the term Boy Sober and I am delighted. It's so much cuter than what I have been calling Volcel.

I have never felt more Ontarian, nay Scarberian, on this lil BC island than telling 3 ppl I'm seeing Steven Page perform and receiving blank stares at the name 💀💀💀 I guess I have to wear a full Scarborough outfit to this Vancouver show.... @stevenpage.bsky.social #CdnMusic #Scarborough

My federal dental plan approval went so fast! Get on it my fellow contractors! Thank you to @jagmeetsingh.ca for making the dream a reality. 🪥 #UniversalDentalCare #UniversalHealthCare #JagmeetsLegacy

I know I often say that I get a lot of dms about things I post, but this post in 3 hours has yielded more upset and depressed and mad dms than any of the others. I mean producers, directors, performers and more. None think this appointment is good for the company or the sector. 🧵

Because wealthy producer to artistic director is definitely definitely translatable and not at all a harbinger of bowing to finance over art. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/theatre...

CARYL! I have become so accustomed to my heroes disappointing me, this is excellent. #Theatre #Palestine #CarylChurchill www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/j...

Ooooh what are you doing with your first official day done work, Carly? Ohhh just all disability assistance applications.

It should not be controversial to say that the starvation of Gaza’s children is wrong, @julieebeck.bsky.social argued last month:

After losing funding and staff changes my boss said "I'd like to look at How we can use chat GPT more." Me: Wait what are you using it for right now?! Grant applications. What an interesting correlation coincidence with the fact our funding has been going down. 💀

This is maybe one of the dumbest things I've ever read. Why would @slate.com devote an entire opinion article to one person who does yoga complaining about the sound of water bottles. slate.com/life/2025/05...

E.g. In my year I'm pretty sure there were little to no designers on our entire jury.

Having sat on a Dora jury, I can tell you, nominations are like two steps away from being meaningless IMO It's totally nice for the people who get them, but if you don't get them please remember it's meaningless. It's just a group of people some people with opinions. Keep doing your thing folks ❤️

In the last few days people have been asking me how I feel since quitting my job and I didn't know what to say. But if you want to real update: I just caught myself doing jetés across the house.

Just found out the target of the complaint was being dead named. dear dog 10 more days til I can get off FB.

Despite the interactions you see with the post, this LinkedIn roasting has been by far my most popular. I have received countless messages from workers and media who were asking the same question. 🧵

Okay yes I do communications, but I pray to the sweet dog in the sky as I finish out my last weeks at a small arts org, may I never have to run social media again. The way many people behave particularly on FB is genuinely wild and toxic.

e19 of 60 SONGS THAT EXPLAIN THE ’90S: THE 2000S is on J.LO’s “JENNY FROM THE BLOCK,” in which we learn that stars really really really want to be like us open.spotify.com/episode/74Pb...

On Jenny from the block episode, @harvilla.bsky.social, "She is a Leo, and that might not matter to you, but my wife is a Leo, and I'm here to tell you it matters to Leos" Another incredible episode 60 songs to explain...but how dare you roast Leos we are fabulous. pca.st/episode/0f16...

Ah yes yes don't these gentle classy men look like who we want to lead our destruction. 💀

I nevvver click Instagram ads but had an out of body experience after the targeted ad of @stevenpage.bsky.social playing with the VSO. Before I knew it I had a ticket and an Airbnb booked. This Scarborough kid out West is happyyyyyy. 🫶 #StevenPage #KidFromScarborough

👏👏👏

Justice for the way the previous communications and marketing manager was disappeared. #TheaTO

This obsession is with “young men turning to the right” is everything that is wrong with the discussion about the far right. It is not just an inadequate read of what is happening, and a bias towards the male norm, but it also normalizes the far right and obscures support for inclusive politics. 🧵

ay

I have received so many messages about KT 💀
