Scenes from a concert last night in TO. We love you, Brandi Carlile!

Spotted today on Family Day walk.

35 years @utoronto.ca passed in a flash. So lucky to have had the opportunities extended to me and to have met many great people & forged many friendships along the way. 🙏🏻

You just knew I had to channel Gladys this Halloween🎃. #gladys #weaponsmovie

Our little visit to the pumpkin patch.🎃

When I listen @talkeasypod.bsky.social @samfragoso.bsky.social on a Sunday morning, sipping coffee & puttering around, it’s at least one hour where I can pretend I’m living in a world where sincerity, kindness, and empathy reign supreme.

Restoring Hope with Pal Humanity in North of Gaza. Thank you Hannah Einbinder for raising awareness & pointing to this organization chuffed.org/project/1228...

The best & the best: @samfragoso.bsky.social @talkeasypod.bsky.social interviewing Terry Gross @nprfreshair.bsky.social. I was crying along - especially moved when Terry asks at the end if she can give Sam a hug. Dream team.♥️open.spotify.com/episode/6Hb5IUoByXxnjoQULfqWRS?si=9SOxNdWjQCmEHpNubhyFbg

Hello, September. Nice to see you again.[eom]

Anatomy of a hair donation: 1) a couple trims since 2019, but that hair accompanied me into my ‘50s.🙏🏻 2) a whole lotta uncharted turf - global pandemic, grad studies that started in person but switched to online, and professional upheaval that left me spiralling into a total imposter-syndrome funk.

Thinking of the murdered & missing Indigenous women today & on so many other days. I’ve been hanging this dress out in front of my house on this day for many years, honouring those women, hoping to raise awareness, but also wanting change. #MMIW #reddress

Some random pics from this past week. #spring

With the abrupt shutdown of USAID funding, many clinics, including those serving women in remote areas, have shuttered. Midwives are reporting that mothers and babies are dying as a result.

Excited to be at Hart House @harthouseuoft.bsky.social event yesterday to celebrate President-designate Professor Melanie Woodin, and also acknowledge the leadership of Prof Meric Gertler who led the uni @uoft.bsky.social through some challenging times. Eager to see where we go from here.🤩

March 20 is International Happiness Day — a day that the United Nations had dedicated to the celebration of joy. We asked photographers around the world to share a picture that can bring bliss.

Definitely worth coming in early @uoft.bsky.social and standing in the rain for a few minutes to capture this.

“The erasure of Indigenous, Black, Hispanic, and female veterans from [American] military history is an attempt to elevate white men as the sole actors in our history.” Like wtf is happening??? So many important points & bang on @hcrichardson.bsky.social Listen podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/l...

THIS is the fire that we need! “I’m not rolling over to a would-be King. Not now, not ever."

Beyond proud of our girl singing her original song last night in the Youth Songwriting Showcase at the Allied Music Centre @masseyhall.bsky.social. Amazing showcase of talent by all & beautiful friendly, supportive space for all the talented artists.

Gearing up for the Youth Songwriters’ showcase at the Allied Music Centre @masseyhall.bsky.social. Grateful to be surrounded by talented, creative young people right now, the best kind of people to be around.

Our girl is playing her original song at Massey Hall this weekend - as part of Youth Songwriting Showcase. Give her song a listen open.spotify.com/track/3Tk5C0...

It’s a cold, snowy day and the thermostat is turned down but it’s #NationalSweaterDay and I’m committed to staying warm with one of my coziest sweaters along with several cups of lavender tea.

I love this first post by @marginsandroads.bsky.social and can’t wait to read more. If you are also irked by injustice and want some inspiration, read along with me. open.substack.com/pub/marginsr...

Got to campus super early yesterday morn - worth it for the views @uoft.bsky.social

A nod to “Coraline.” Black b-b-b-buttons and a willing attitude are all you need.

Donation #33 - bleed time was five minutes and, all told, I was in and out of the clinic in less than 30 minutes. When you’re doing good deeds & making donations this season, don’t forget about Canadian blood services. #itsinyoutogive🩸🩸🩸

Early morning on campus @uoft.bsky.social 🤩

Had a blast last night seeing #wicked in 3D with my girlies. We even donned green & pink for the occasion. I’m totally team Elpheba!

Beautiful tea outing with my girls & spouse at Windsor Arms in Toronto. It was a completely indulgent kick-off to the holiday season and our first time there. Grateful for family & delicious food and tea.

This morning’s run feels oddly like spring in November. Love listening to @jonlovett.bsky.social & Lovett or Leave It podcast on a Saturday-morning run. Running & laughing is very therapeutic.

I wanted my first post on this platform to be something good and positive & I can’t think of anything as good as this movie rn. I loved it - it’s sweet and beautiful with wonderful cinematography & shots of the Canadian landscape - and it’s deep. 5♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️s #myoldass
