"Why did you become a writer?" I dreamed of a life where I did not have to get up before 10am.

Hey @lecinenerd.bsky.social! Wake up! New U2 ep dropped and it's good?

I was walking out of SDCC one year with my friend and this really handsome man in the loudest neon pants I had ever seen. He held the door open for us and walked with us for a bit. Someone yelled "JOHN!" and I realized it was Captain Jack Harkness from Doctor Who

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

People be saying Jimmy Crystal in Bone Temple is more evil than West in the original 28 Days Later. Dude, West was tricking people into coming to him for help. Christopher Eccleston is one of my fave actors but I hate him so much as West.

remembering two legends today

Can’t argue with that logic! #YanquiStayHome www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Being Native means your elders will often drop such insane lore like an older lady telling me a family member of mine may have killed his married lover by accident.

The Welcome to Derry people made something amazing. That season was just brilliant.

Can I just say that the new Bluey game (the quest for the golden pen) is ADORABLE. It is like Baby's First Legend of Zelda.

Me explaining The Dark Tower mythos to friends who are watching Welcome to Derry

When the AI bubble finally bursts, I'm going to raise my editing and writing rates to triple digits per hour out of pure spite. Coulda hired me before, but you wanted to be a water-poisoning plagiarist instead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Creator Bless the crew and cast of Heated Rivalry for giving me ammunition with producers now for why Canadian content doesn't have to be America Jr.

I really love seeing real life professions react to how they're portrayed on screen. As a screenwriter, there's some stuff you leave out for the sake of the story. I saw a doctor saying something like real ER doctors don't talk that long with patients like they do on the PITT.

Loving that post I just saw of a user asking why they haven't "fully adapted King's It" and everyone was like

Media literacy is dead: what do you mean all of the welcome to derry's audience is like "What's in the box" THEY SHOW YOU.

I'm not watching Euphoria but I've seen a lot of clips on Tiktok and it boggles the mind that the actress who plays Maddie is not a bigger thing. I mean I know why her Jeans costar is being pushed to the moon but Alexa Demie is really talented.

That image of the Native Warrior seeing It as a White Priest with a demonic baby Jesus on this week's episode of Welcome to Derry both triggered the hell out of me but also pissed me off because I cannot believe I didn't think of it first.

I didn't anticipate being this old so please excuse me if I enjoy a bit of my life I never dreamed would exist.

What's the big deal? This is my pregame for ceremony

If you're in Toronto at the end of this month, come and check out my spoken word performance of "How Bono Saved my Life (Three Times)" at the Weesageechak Begins to Dance festival or new and in-progress works. nativeearth.ca/shows/all-sh...

One of my love languages is giving friends cool gifts that they immediately freak out over. My best friend is a huge fan of Deadpool and has basically every single piece of memorabilia EXCEPT the Deadpool branded Coke cans. I got him two and for a man who doesn't show emotion, he showed a lot <3

What good news to wake up to.

I'm a ho for swashbuckling and hot guys with sexy hair so I'm watching that Disney Musketeers movie and good grief Kiefer and that hair

It's truth and reconciliation day. A day that can be pretty hard for the Indigenous folks. White people, buy me KFC on ubereats, I'm Native, I've been through a lot.

Thanks for having me out for this @sonyaballantyne.bsky.social ! It was an honour 💖

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

I didn't get to learn my ancestral language as a child and I'm learning to now and it low key feels like I'm learning Elvish because of the poetry of trying to translate a concept that doesn't exist in English but exists in Cree.

I say this as someone who writes about Hollywood and entertainment for a living: People have got to stop thinking Hollywood is one monolithic mass. The creatives are a wholly different group than studio executives. The former group keeps making art despite the latter.

Y'all remember V for Vendetta right?

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: 1. Baby waving at you. 2. Dog sticking its head out of a car window 3. A kid thinking you're cool. 4. Ice cold water 5. A truly great movie

“In the beginning, the bang buses were spaced by 24 weeks. Then 12, then 6, then every 2 weeks. The last one in Sydney was a week. In four days, we could be seeing a bang bus every eight hours, until they are coming every four minutes. Marshal, we should witness a double event within seven days!”

I did Pilates for 10 minutes and wanted to cry. I can do a one minute plank but I can't do that? BOO

I don't consider myself a girly girl but I love watching documentaries and what not about wedding dresses.

Unexpectedly ended up babysitting my two nephews and was given the go-ahead by their health conscious father to "go crazy" regarding getting them a snack. We got ice cream and I bought them novelty gummies in the shape of a pizza slice and a coke bottle.

The best thing about losing weight is that I'm not a slave to Torrid anymore.

I wish there were more BIPOC folk talking about their experiences with autism/ADHD on the socials. Thanks to the white folks speaking about it but I really think there's a massive difference in how folk perceive autism in white kids compared to black and brown ones.

My short film PORTAGE PLACE is showing as part of @sonyaballantyne.bsky.social 's NEECHIS shorts program on Sept 24th followed by a Q&A, and it's an honour to be among so many cool people that I know and admire! Please check it out: davebarbercinematheque.com/were-still-h...

I bought Baldur's Gate for Astarion and Gale but I ended up loving Shadowheart and La'zel.

My friend Rach was going sage picking and she had room for me in her car. I haven't been sage picking in a while and it was fun to just scour the road ditches to find sage patches throughout the southern part of just outside the city.

If you're in Winnipeg, come and check out this event i'm doing at the Millennium Library on Wednesday the 20th. wpl.libcal.com/event/390660...

The only regret I have of not going to invisalign route for braces is my cheeks are all cut up so I have to wear wax on the pointy bits of my metal braces

I think my favourite thing about getting older is learning new things about older people you loved who have died and seeing them in new ways. I'm realizing how much I wish the world was different and my Grandma Virginia got to go to a school that would have valued her.

One of my favourite things I learned from Animorphs (shout out @kaaauthor.bsky.social) was that birds like using the heat rising off of cement parking lots and what not to rise higher in the sky without having to use their own energy.

What bothers me the most about the comments on Palestine that Bono and Larry Mullen made could apply to any Indigenous people being colonized and murdered by the white state. As an Indigenous person, that makes me PO'd.

Well that u2 statement on Gaza apart from The Edge and Adam Clayton was incredibly disappointing. I was really surprised, saddened, and annoyed to read Larry Mullen's comments. Bono was on my shit list since his comment in his book about Africa and iphone minerals.

"It sums up the absurdity of being a woman"-Me about Showgirls.

I've never heard a theatre react as hard as it did at the midnight screening for the Dark Knight back in 2008 and that scene with the pencil happened.

Glad to see that the new Fantastic Four continues the tradition of putting brown eyed people into blue contacts.
