❤️‍🩹 Rescuers pulled a Yorkshire terrier named Michelle from the rubble in Dnipro. She lived on the fifth floor and, luckily, wasn’t seriously hurt.

Michelle is now with her owners’ relatives.

It's #VyshyvankaDay for Ukrainians around the world. Vyshyvanka is more than beautiful embroidery. It holds our stories. It connects us to the past, our ancestors, and each other. At a time when the russian terrorist state seeks to erase us, I wear my Vyshyvanky with extra pride.

If you love film and television made in Canada, now's the time to watch it, stream it, shout about it, and invest in it. #ElbowsUp for #BCFilm; elbows up for Hollywood North.

Trump’s ill-conceived tariffs on foreign-made films is either going to kill the Vancouver film and television industry or inject it with new purpose and fire.
May 5, 2025 at 1:36 PM
First strikes, then AI, now tariffs: working in #BCFilm is just an endless parade of existential threats. We just want to make film and TV, gang.

Ah, yes: it’s Liberation Day in America. It’s the day when the United States liberates itself from being (*checks notes*) an economic force on the global stage and forces every other nation to work around it, thus rendering itself inconsequential. Papa Putin must be so proud.

Every time Trump says that the U.S. is being invaded by people from mental institutions, please remember that he's understanding "asylum seekers" to mean "people who've escaped or been released from mental asylums," and permit yourself a despondent laugh and a shake of the head.
