Happy Easter. Here are some gorgeous flowers that are absolutely stealing the show. From my sister’s garden and staged and photographed beautifully by her. I am my sister’s fangirl.

Simon Schama introduces the Walloon painting genius Michaelina Wautier, long unrecognized master of the 17th century. www.ft.com/content/77cb...

Played badminton with my 10 year old as it was meant to be played: inside the house, in the dining room whilst dancing to kpop music.

This is very on-point for the paper I’m working on

The TikTok girlies (gender neutral) are hatching a plan to all buy copies of communion by hooks on Vance's release date. I will be participating.

🧵 All the ads for various weight loss medications are doing harm to fat folks like me, who have worked so hard to find peace and acceptance with our bodies. Understanding that fatness isn’t a moral failing. It’s gotten to the point that I’m looking to cancel some streaming services because of ads. 1

I will always slap a like on this story. Hot Satan is my guy

Apparently Trump’s architectural renderings of his ballroom show exterior stairs leading nowhere and I think that part of the ballroom is going to be called The Iran War Wing.

I support trans rights. Trans women are women and trans men are men.

It’s like the Blue Jays collectively decided to play a baseball game equivalent of my mental state tonight. It’s ugly inside my head right now.

Well the Blue Jays are putting us through it already. 2 games, 2 walkoffs, and a woman who needs to refill her anxiety meds.

When John Schneider arrived back at his #BlueJays office last week, he found a letter sitting on his desk. It waited for him all winter. It came from 9x NBA Champion Steve Kerr. Unlocked & free to read, here's the story of that letter: www.nytimes.com/athletic/715...

Final from Toronto: Gimenez 3, Langeliers 2

Listen, Globe and Mail, I’ve been in a real, full-time relationship with this team for years now so hush up.

I’m excited! I will presenting a paper at the Royal Historical Society’s Reformation Studies Colloquium in London in April. I will be talking about Reformation controversies and ideas of devout ritual in Shakespeare’s Henry VI.

This shit basically makes them the Phoenix University of chasing a career field to create a reason for a degree. Abolishing Fine Arts in favor of a BA in Influencing is gonna make me The Joker.

Trump announces plan to wind down war in Iran - says the US needs to get back to concentrating on attacking its own citizens again.

I lost no time in going to see this portrait at the AGO. It is so gorgeous in person. I also saw some other things that I will put into this thread.

My new novel “Gary’s New Novel Was This Result Helpful to You?” is in big trouble.

Bush sr literally threw up in the Japanese PM’s lap and it wasn’t as bad as this.

Omg, I can go see this portrait!

I love chatting with my teen’s friends when they come over, but I’m always conscious that I need to avoid being the Amy Poehler mom in Mean Girls.

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane: The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...

i just want team USA to know that they did let us down, just not in the way they believe

VENEZUELA DEFEATS THE UNITED STATES TO TAKE HOME THEIR FIRST WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC CHAMPIONSHIP 🇻🇪🏆

The #WBC is a party Team USA are the cops responding to a noise complaint

We hear “stick to sports” too much, but let’s be clear here: Team USA itself refused to stick to sports, eschewing representation of so much great American culture for, uh, Da Troops and nothing else.

In times of unprecedented global strife and the fracture of longstanding relationships, let us all reach out and grab each other’s butts.

I have a few cute stickers on my water bottle that my kids have given me. I told my 13 year old today that by law I have to put whatever sticker they give me on it, so she gave me these. 😂

Tiny books!! youtu.be/faN_yEghseo?...

I have a very strong reaction when I hear people chanting U-S-A. I’m not going to say what kind of reaction, but it’s strong.

Bo Naylor! I don’t expect Canada to win, but I love the fight in them!

Late at night, thinking about death. Or deciding which book to read next. Mary Magdalene by Georges de la Tour, born OTD in 1593.

Check out all of the beautiful books published by members of @saaupdates.bsky.social since our 2024 meeting! If you will be in Denver for #Shax2026, I hope you'll join us for a celebration on Friday, April 3rd, from 10:30-11:00am in the Centennial Foyer! sites.google.com/trinity.edu/...

This is an absolutely shocking proposal that would disrupt the very foundations of democratic accountability in Ontario #Onpoli #cdnfoi

My 10 year old was invited to a bday party at Sephora for a “skincare and glam” experience. In a limo. I’m wondering how I can impersonate my 10 year old.

Canada! Known baseball powerhouse!!!

Spring in Canada is truly gorgeous. Just overheard: “it smells like rotten seaweed over here.”

Canada and our PM are more worried about the violent and destructive American carp in the White House.

Ballet I’ve been to - The Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet, Swan Lake, Gisele, Hamlet (and I’m desperate to see more). My dream is to have season’s tickets to the National Ballet here in Toronto Opera I’m going to in April in London with my sister who is a massive Opera fan: Rigoletto. Just fyi

This is fucking grim.

These asshole twerps with no brains or education from DOGE really did use ChatGPT to find NEH grants to terminate ILLEGALLY - ruining hundreds lives and destroying hundreds of the greatest humanities projects and partnerships of our time. I’m overwhelmed with rage and anger all over again.

While watching Canada play in the World Baseball Classic, my kids and I came up with a fun new way baseball should be played. Once on base, player should have to use pogo sticks to run the bases. Please don’t let this detract from my status as a serious baseball fan.

This is stupid. But if I had to guess what my wardrobe is signalling, it would be constant panic and not trying.

The USA men’s hockey team thing has really bothered and depressed me. I keep seeing people describe what that mfer said about the women’s team as a “joke.” Even by people who are disgusted by it. And I’m wondering - how does it in any way fulfill the conventions of joking - even bad joking? 1/3

Why is Doug Ford changing OSAP? It's simple: he is trying to balance the post-secondary books on the backs of low and middle income students and their families. His changes to OSAP will cost students up to $3500 more per year in debt. We deserve affordable education.

I’m wearing this drapery shirt for the first time and have struggled all day to make it look and hang nicely. I just now discovered I’ve been storing a tortilla chip in it, which is fun. You all need to find a tortilla shirt.

Guess what? That US men’s hockey team some of you were celebrating, are f*cking pieces of shit. The Canadian team would NEVER.

I warmed my kids’ bath towels in the dryer so they were toasty when they got out of the bath, and I’ve been told I must provide this service every night from now on.

Clearly Canada didn’t win the gold because China is in the process of taking away our hockey.
