A wordy type with tragically Canadian sensibilities and a penchant for cocktails, culture, and criminally undervalued women of the past.
TIL Gouda is not considered an acceptable Scrabble/WWF word, and that is absurd.

People are handing their brains over to ai, and my autocorrect can’t even figure out what “tge” is supposed to be.

Death is the theme of the next Oscars, right?

You can’t just have a few seconds of applause for Reiner, Lynch, Keaton, and Redford. They make up such a massive portion of the last 50 years of American film.

The Gap Grass re-release is laughably bad and now my hand smells like regurgitated flowers.

Searching for digital restoration tips and seeing what people offer and accept as improvements are destroying my last threads of confidence in humanity.

We are rapidly approaching a time when ppl will look back and wonder why everyone was so meme mean about that Jesus portrait restoration.

We all hear about doctors avoiding medical-related programming, and lawyers law programming, because the science and law is just wrong.

But what about writers and editors?

To avoid the many forms of bad copy and nonexistent editing, relief only comes from pure isolation.

Fires up Bluesky.

Sighs.

(Briefly thinks of shelfies.)

Scrolls until she finds @rollwithheather.bsky.social’s Canadian art reposts.

Cleanses with the beautiful Canadian art.

Shuts down Bluesky and ignores it for a while.

Nothing like having a husband who keeps you up at night fanboying over Hitler.

Today I decided to look up a couple things about nail care.

Five minutes later: I have learned that my nail shape is “dreaded” and their length is on the precipice of making my finger look fat, unpleasant, and masculine.

What a toxic space.

My not fat finger says:🖕🏻

Fifteen years out of film writing and I still get pr blasts. Good thing I’ll never have a headstone or I’m sure someone would print them out and leave them on my grave instead of flowers.

I did not know Tina Fey was making an extended remake when I posted this. Not exactly what I had in mind, but intrigued by the mix of new content and extremely loyal scene recreations.
My Christmas wish: Alan Alda writes a sequel to The Four Seasons, where he can invite Carol, Len, Rita, and Bess on one last trip.

What’s found inside old, ratty library books: the skill of some long-passed librarian cutting book ads to glue and tape the book back together.

Paper surprises aren’t only found in walls.
