Lorna was my mum's friend who used to make this fruit punch slush with the frozen Minute Maid and her smile was like sunshine and I remember us going for a walk and this awesome fountain that shot rainbows everywhere. I was about three then, and about seven when she passed away.

I'm levelling up in my procrastination powers because rather than do the social media posts I was supposed to work on this evening I finished the first draft of my short.

Can't lie, I'm kinda chuffed. And tired. But mostly chuffed. Script isn't great yet. But it's done. Shout outs to 2025

Hit up two thrift book stores in libraries around my city and found so many popular books, classics, and political science books surrounding topics I have a growing interest in. Support your local libraries! Buy second hand! You never know what treasures you’re going to find

It's ok to ask for help/support from your community when you need it, and someone saying no to you doesn't mean you shouldn't ask

I'm working on a video about Doug Ford and the upcoming Ontario election, and keeping it concise is impossible because the list of shit he's destroyed and defunded just keeps going and going. Thinking of just filming five seconds of me staring into camera and setting a picture of him on fire instead

WRITING TIP: if you get stuck, try making the font really really big. This will remind you of being a baby, when you only knew twelve words and didn't know about death

My lovely man released an EP, his first music project in ten years and I'm so so proud of an inspired by him and I'd love if you could give it a listen, and if you like it, give him a follow! Available on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube music and Deezer!

I know folks have said it already, but the most annoying shit is watching the least impressive people whine about “DEI” hires. Like, I’ve met dogs with more intellectual gravitas.

Don’t be fooled by these clowns—most of them came in on an elevator and swear they took the stairs.

Several items on the to-do list and so far I've accomplished one.

Delete photos from my phone.

Might just call it a day.

Last week, The Atlantic discovered a database of over 139,000 scripts used to train AI, setting writer group chats ablaze.
@elainelow.bsky.social spoke to writers to see what recourse they have and what kind of systems could be put in place for them to be compensated.
