Thanks for this labour! We cried over it in Canada with no ties to PR but inherently understood everything; so I can only imagine how you all felt! ❤️

Ohhhh ick! Seems to be the time. Healing vibes your way xx

Thanks hon. Happy new year and hope your health is holding ❤️

Gutted for my partner. He has spent the entire holiday doing family stuff, looking after his mom with dementia, having to hang with my mom, and finally gets 2.5 days to himself to relax …and now has a bad round of gastroenteritis. I feel so bad for the guy. Praying also I don’t get it but man

This is huge. And worthy of celebration. Congrats from Vancouver!

Omg it’s pretty great #towel

I mean, it does bring a bit of hope over a Tuesday!

Happy Thursday to all who celebrate

Hi, it me. If it you also, I send spoons for 2026.

Hope has arrived

I am west coast. But did the east coast NYC ball drop with my mom who also turns 82 on NY Day. Chugged a couple of fizzy dranks, had some sushi, home by 10:30, perfect and old. I may hate New Year’s but love to you all. May the year usher in more kindness. A fool’s hope, but a hope nonetheless.

Yup yup! Never forget!!! Also happy new year, friend x

Thrilled to celebrate the one and only incredible researcher, journalist, kind soul and my unwaveringly unique and inspiring pal @nardwuarserviette.bsky.social on his Order of Canada! He is the best of us. (Ps that first image is us at Halloween)

@raffic.bsky.social congrats on the GG Award! So very well deserved - and finally! Much love and happy new year!

We turfed our Disney+ sub during the Kimmel thing and it expires next week so we’re watching Andor. Holy fuck is it like watching courderoy. It’s so bad.

Look. We get it. You’re PM $$ CFO guy. But is there any godsdamned chance you could also put some effort into communicating with those of us who grudgingly got you hired, and yunno, talk about social issues we care about or acknowledge people’s concerns? You and your comms team suck so much on this

This is the news I come here for

I can’t sleep

Yup! Legit worst time. I had a cold by the time I arrived in Europe, everytime. And so many obnoxious drunks before online shaming.

Awwwwww I didn’t know they were closing! This place IS truly amazing. My friend was the GM there and I hung with Sebadoh there too. A real rock n’ roll motel for sure. That’s such a bummer, but glad we were able to have the experience there, Wayne! Love to you 🤘🏼

I’m finding it virtually impossible to do more than an hour of work without crawling back into bed in this dark and wet November. Anyone else? Like, I legit am fighting off the AhFuckits so hard

*NObody duh

And to pretend it’s just economics keeping us away? How come body talks about that? It’s border BS, safety, racism, attacks on women, children, LGBTQ+,nationalism, politics, policing, budget cuts…the tariffs are actually the least of my worries. The U.S. is for now a garbage place - why would I go?

I - a Gen X goth - went to the East Van Opry last night. Huge talent on stage but these guys were the best because I imagined them actually as Emmett Otter’s Jug Band from The Muppets and that tickled me even more

Carney is shitting all over everyone who took a chance on him - we knew he was a banker but I didn’t think he was this much of a WANKER WHO LIKES TANKERS. I’m very excited for @avilewis.ca revival of the NDP if we can get him to lead the party.

I mean LOOKIT these stunning wisdom carriers! #mushroomsky #fungifriends #mushrooms

Mikala gets very excited in mushroom season. Rosy slime spikes I have been told #mushroomsky

I learned yesterday that my rental dog will cut a bitch if you try take away this particular fish chew (to prevent her from choking as it got smaller). Tiny wolf in there omg.

Hanging out with the future leader of the NDP. Hear me out, Canada: Avi Lewis is actually planning to make some noise for the actual good of actual Canadians. It’s time to return to the party we know it can be, not the one it has been. There is change afoot.
