Correction!! That last link I posted with the interview is about the New Yorker calendar, not NY Times. That's the only correction, through, Pia and Ian are still lovely. Here's the link again, in case you missed it! www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

An amazing interview with Pia and Ian about their cartoon on the cover of the NY Times calendar for 2026 🤩 (they are even lovelier in person) www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... @ianboothby.bsky.social @piaguerra.bsky.social

When I'm looking for smthing on a low shelf I'll put my hands on my knees and wrinkle my nose like my dad did, which is how HIS dad did. And does it keep going back? Is there a cave painting of a lady looking for smthing on a low shelf with her hands on her knees wrinkling her nose like a goober? 🤯

Happy Christmas, babies! 🎄

The Empire Strikes Back is a Christmas film. I can't really explain it, but it is, with its snowy planet, lessons of patience in a grey and rain-soaked bog (England in winter), its sense of imminence and becoming, and the most awkward family dinner with fascist dad that you're anxious to escape.

Toniiiiiight! Let's do this! Head down to The Rio Theatre for the latest, greatest, and funniest Critical Hit Show yet! 7pm. Don’t miss it! riotheatretickets.ca/events/39322...

Ugh it's all pretty wondrous, isn't it? Like, all the life stuff? The sweet melancholy, the happy yearning, the glorious disappointments. I mean I might be a little holiday drunk, but at the moment everything seems pretty beautiful. ❤️

DECEMBER 17: The Critical Hit Show - a Live, Improvised Fantasy Epic is back for the holidays! Join us for our Extra Special Holiday Special with mirth, merriment, monsters, and you! Don't miss it! Tickets: riotheatretickets.ca/events/39322...

The sensation of cringe lives forever. I'll think of something utterly humiliating I did at 16 or 28 or 35 or last week and I'll wince instinctively like the past is coming at me with a hammer.

I want to add my voice to the chorus here and say that Paul Dano is one of the MOST INTERESTING actors working. I will actively search out projects that I know he's in.

We're just a couple of days away from The Big Question! What will it be? Come find out at Little Mountain Gallery on Wednesday, December 3! www.showpass.com/the-big-ques...

Me, to my cat as I pull the blanket over my head: "Get in loser, we're napping."

Season 3 trailer just dropped!!! ZOMG!!!! There is a decent chunk of stuff from my episodes!! (Colo Claw Fish, helloooo!!! And the ending of the trailer!!) I'm so psyched for people to see these episodes! #YoungJediAdventures #StarWars

Fifteen years ago this month, Standard Action launched its very first episode! We went on to make three full seasons, funded by a lot of passion and an incredible fan base. I made lifelong friends, and met a huge number of talented, smart and wonderful people. Raising a glass to Standard Action! ❤️

In my neighborhood, pedestrians will often make eye contact and nod at each other, accompanied by a tight little smile. Translation seems to be: "Ah, I see you are doing life today." "Indeed, I acknowledge that you are doing life as well." "Carry on in this our shared experience." "Carry on."

Tonight!

It's a difficult transitional time of year. Check in on your frens! ❤️ 💙 💜

The Critical Hit Show was an amazing success!! Thank you so much to everyone who came out - we have the greatest audience in Vancouver!! #dndlive @shaunstewart.bsky.social @ianboothby.bsky.social @ericfell.com

Coming up next week!! #dndlive

Tonight! #dndlive

Still watching Deep Space Nine (it REALLY holds up, okay?) and Julian and Miles' model of guy friendship is also incredibly thoughtful and articulate. I struggle to think of writing this good exploring adult male friendship in more modern shows, to the detriment of dudes everywhere.

Thrilled to have shared the stage with Louise Lathey last night at a special screening of her film Who Am I Now? hosted by the New West Film Society! ⭐️ tv.apple.com/ca/movie/who...

Vocalist, songwriter & creative force Larissa Loyva created a quirkily wonderful score to accompany the supercut of my choose-your-own-adventure series Marla and the Macarons! It's now available on Ko-fi: an entirely different way of experiencing Marla, and SO worth it. 🩷 www.ko-fi.com/mightyjoanna

Now you can see all Marla and the Macarons content without having to play the game over and over! Purchase a "supercut" of all chapters on my Ko-fi page, and get a second with an exclusive soundtrack! Visit www.marlaandthemacarons.com and click on "Support," then navigate to my shop. Enjoy! 🩷

I just rewatched the Deep Space Nine episode "Far Beyond the Stars" and godDAMN it where was Avery Brooks' emmy? Are you kidding me? I'm weeping rivers over here. Brilliant stuff.

Want to check out Who Am I Now? on the big screen? You can, on August 15th! 😍

JULY 16: Come see what Vancouver's best and brainiest comedians have made for you - a PowerPoint presentation? A book report? A diorama? It could be anything! Joining me and @ianboothby.bsky.social are Gina Harms, Carla Mah, and @shaunstewart.bsky.social! Tix www.showpass.com/extra-credit...

The Critical Hit Show was a blast last night!! And some audience members made us COOL ART! 😎 💀 #dndlive @ericfell.com @ianboothby.bsky.social

We're back!! Come laugh your face off with us at the Rio next week! 🎲

Excited to do this thing! Its been a while since I've had the opportunity to do some scripted theatre, and it's been incredible to watch this talented, dedicated group develop these pieces over the past four weeks. Stoked to see our little showcase come to life in front of an audience!

Thank you to everyone who checked out Marla and the Macarons! I'm so happy it brought you delight, as that was its sole purpose. 🌟 I don't have many pics of me directing, but here are some by Carla Mah! (Thanks, Carla!!) And I'll have more Marla news soon - stay tuned! www.marlaandthemacarons.com

Did you know that there are four endings to the Marla and the Macarons choose-your-own-adventure? Four of them are sad-trombone endings, and one is a success! Have you found them all? If you do find the "win" ending, be sure to wait for the after-the-credits scene! www.marlaandthemacarons.com

🌟 Marla and the Macarons guest star alert! 🌟 Marla's meanderings sometimes bring her face to face with these synthetic starlets! And did you know that one of our Robits appeared in the Critical Hit Show? ...Have you found the Robits yet? Play again and maybe you will! www.marlaandthemacarons.com

🌟 Marla and the Macarons guest star alert! 🌟 Marla's twists and turns sometimes lead her to this handsome gentleman! Fishman? The Business Fish? All true. But those in the know call him The Red Herring! Have you found Red yet? Play again and maybe you will! www.marlaandthemacarons.com

That's it. I am no longer pretending to tolerate arugula. Whoever marketed this rank weed as a bougie salad staple was an evil genius.

🌟 Marla and the Macarons guest star alert! 🌟 Marla's decisions change everything on her macaron-inspired quest, and sometimes those decisions lead to @carmahdee! Have you found her yet? Play again and maybe you will! www.marlaandthemacarons.com
