Yeah exactly, like we knew it would be good but they're just jumping around like they've won the lottery and honestly? They kinda have

I've been plenty happy in my life but I firmly believe I've never been happier than Team Dominican Republic playing at the #WorldBaseballClassic right now.

I will not be running for mayor of Toronto I even asked my editor at the Star for a two-page spread to help readers understand the extent to which I am not running for mayor of Toronto.

Breaking news! I have my first opinion piece in the Toronto Star today! I got to make fun of John Tory AND make a joke about me playing for the Blue Jays, so it's safe to say that this was the most fun I've had writing something in a while. 💙 www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Thank you. It's a tough time for us all, but I've just gotta think of Andrés. I'm sure his thank you card is in the mail. 😇

only if you give me another 650 words to explain why I am not running for mayor

I love the idea that The Star got in touch with Clare as soon as they read John Tory's ridiculously long statement about not running for mayor, something no one has given a single thought to him doing since he resigned in disgrace, and said, "We give you carte blanche to take him down a peg!"

Andres just seems so sweet! I'd feel so bad!

Thank you! I would hate every second of it, but I might at least be able to cut the police budget down a bit before they hunt me down and throw me out 😂

Thank you! However, I am definitely not an employee, merely a freelancer, so unfortunately that suggestion is not in the cards for me.

Honestly it's the honour of my life, couldn't have asked for a better way to introduce myself to the Toronto Star readership. ❤️ Hahaha

Awful and wild and completely, stiflingly sad. I don't know what to do. It feels so useless to throw my little rants out here, but also contacting MPs and such is good. ❤️

Trump going on camera talking about how he'd rate his war from 1-10, asking how we're liking the "performance" like this a fucking Broadway show. These monsters only respect strength and money. They don't give a shit about diplomacy. I feel like I'm going insane.

World leaders need to look to Spain right now. I am so exhausted hearing about polite, calm diplomacy in the face of two countries starting illegal wars, lying about it, murdering children, and committing genocide in plain sight. It's shameful. I can't stop thinking about the Iranian girls' school.
