Facebook handed me a "five-years-ago-today" memory. I'm standing in a basement in Winnipeg, live-streaming a show for the first time ever, because the world has been shut down.
Five years ago. So much has happened since!

Someone on a "buy Canadian" group just asked where she could buy Canadian spices, especially Paprika. Ma'am... the Spice Trade happened for a reason... Boycotts are fine but Isolationism is flavorless.

It's all so fucking terrible, but there are already heroes doing and saying courageous and resistant things. Amplify, amplify, amplify!

Today I began work in an incredible Theatre, as part of the cast of Indecent: A play with glorious music, about racism, homophobia, censorship, about the arts - and it was a crazy day to start a play like this, but also felt very right. Tell the stories. Never stop telling the stories.

I dreamed I pulled out a bad tooth. I'm good with this as a beginning-of-a new-year image. Good job, brain.

The enormous tin of "extra large' peanuts from Costco may not have been a great idea. The jury is still out. The jury is me. The jury is full of peanuts and typing this with peanut-greased fingers. The jury is thirsty.

It's such a tiny moment of "OH MY GOD, SO BEAUTIFUL!!" before the "OH MY GOD THIS IS ALL I'M GOING TO SEE FOR MONTHS?!?" sets in.

I know it's cultural-appropriation-y, but if we could all just agree to break out into a full-on Maori Haka every time those proud little neo-nazis came a-marchin', that'd be pretty swell. Thanks. (taking suggestion for non-appropriation-y equivalents)
