Saw this book while browsing in a bookstore, and my kid became so obsessed with it that he took 41 pictures of it on my phone. I guess I know what Santa’s getting him this year.

“Why they always spitting?” — my kid’s only real commentary on the game thus far.

Boy I really haven’t felt so intense about a sports thing since … 1993, lol. My husband is baffled to see me care about this game. 😂

Loved The Husbands, but had no idea @hollygramazio.bsky.social was also a games person. Until today, when I looked at the Toronto Games Week schedule. Excited for the talk in June! torontogamesweek.com/schedule.html

What’s the best social platform for a quietly-freaking-out Canadian to monitor distracting commentary during a stressful election? Is it this one?

My 12 y/o son was willfully ignorant of politics until he calculated the potential cost of a Switch 2 with tariffs. Now he is radicalized.

What is Whoopi’s dress made of? It’s mesmerizing.

Where are Miley’s eyebrows?

NO OTHER LAND!!!!!!! 🇵🇸

That Drake joke got a very big laugh out of this full cinema of Torontonians.

Every time they show Ariana Grande in the front row I’m just trying to figure out how she sits in that dress. (I kinda love the dress.)

I just realized that Isabella Rossellini is wearing blue velvet in honor of David Lynch & immediately started to cry.

The adoring way Zoe Saldana’s husband looks at her 🙌

Laura Dern being Isabella Rossellini’s Oscar date is hitting me right in the part of my heart permanently reserved for David Lynch. 🥹

June Squibb is divine, I love her dress and her whole vibe.

“She plays Joy in Inside Out 2 but she’s here on behalf of joy’s opposite: screenwriting” got a genuine guffaw out of me.

A friend asked me if I planned to make my kid suck it up, and send him back to school, so I wrote a whole thing about it.

I went to see Conclave and … I really enjoyed it. That’s my whole Tuesday update.

It’s Tuesday! You know what that means: a picture of the one weekly lunch I have to pack for my kid. Currently in our chicken nugget era.

Bought some art this week, feel good about it.

Hear me out: TikTok rehab. I’ve never used the app, but some of y’all are talking about it the way I talked about doing speedballs.

Please stop saying "rolled back diversity goals" and start saying "the company capitulated to a segregationist movement." www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

2025: instead of resolutions, I hope to make you cry (in a good way). Let’s be alive together!

Hosted & cooked a lot over the holidays, and now I'm visiting my in-laws and they are cooking, and it's kind of blissful. But here's what I made:

a cloak believed to belong to the shooter transformed into a dozen beautiful white doves and flew away, Authorities said,

Three things I'm into at the moment. (Is anyone else watching DEADLOCH? I am finding it really delightful but no spoilers pls, I'm only halfway through the 1st season.)

Finally saw ANORA and I liked it, brilliant performance from Mickey Madison in the lead, but why is it THE movie of the year? Do we just need to justify our love of stripper movies by positioning them as high art, or what? It was fun but I don’t think it’s one I’ll keep thinking about.

I just remembered that last night I had a dream that in the 1970s (??) RuPaul and Bianca Del Rio starred in a movie about a serial killer who was played by David Niven.

And I’ve just spotted @heatherbuckley.bsky.social in the crowd so that means I’m in the right place, where the cool kids are.

I’m at the Blood in the Snow festival pitch presentations & it’s so great to see so many creative people pitching such fun, original ideas. I always forget how creatively invigorating it can be to participate in things like this. Looking forward to meeting with all the project teams tomorrow.

Very interested in this Kim Deal potty art.

Finished a huge writing assignment today and was able to not only hand it in but also invoice for the work, and I feel both proud of myself and hugely relieved, so I treated myself to a trip to IKEA to buy their seasonal wrapping paper.

Is there a better bread than this bread? (No.)

I’ve been on Bluesky for 3 days and I’ve come to some pretty definitive conclusions. A 🧵 1/835

Today's the day I finally finish the 1st draft of a screenplay that I’ve been labouring over all year, because I underestimated how hard it would be for me to switch gears from prose fiction to screenwriting. Handing it into my producer by Monday, latest. Posting here for accountability. UUUGH.

I’m 56 pages into a screenplay that I need to finish writing by next Monday. It can be a shitty first draft, no stress. There will be plenty of time for revisions. But still, it’s a tough slog. This is honestly harder for me than writing a novel & I was naive for thinking it wouldn’t be! #writing

It looks like half my friends were here two months before I was, but I'll take first 10%.

Last week I wrote about the Science Centre, which I'm still very mad about.

Helpful reminder today, as I wait on pins & needles for feedback on my first novel, just sent out for other human eyes to see.

Were you once a teenage girl, and if so, what did you shoplift? An inadvertent cheese theft led me down a rabbit hole of my own teenage-criminal memories.

If anyone in charge of anything in Hollywood truly hears just one sentence tonight...

I’m going to watch the Oscars tonight, even though it makes me sad (because it’s something I used to do with my hilarious mom, who mocked the celebs most spectacularly, and not because the Oscars are silly, though they also are that). Let’s go I guess.

Mood: sending an ill-advised email and then feel mortified about my lack of impulse control for a long time. 🫤

Became temporarily obsessed with history of chocolate, wrote a whole essay about it. 😬 #authors

Part one of a deep dive on my favourite childhood chocolates. #authors

Soup, grief, catharsis, etc. #authors

Is anyone here doing nanowrimo? For some reason I decided that the best way to help me through the difficult process of editing a long manuscript would be to also aggressively write a completely new thing in a month. Maybe this strategy will work? #authors

Wrote about how the parent/school relationship was harming my parent/kid relationship, and ultimately led to our decision to opt out of the school system. So far, zero regrets! #authors

Hey just your regular reminder that Stockholm Syndrome is just a theory and it was created about a female hostage by a male psychiatrist who had never met her to explain why she viewed the police who endangered her during extraction as incompetent

‘Tis the season.
