Was this an absolutely beautiful film? Yes. Did I ugly cry through at least half of it? Also yes. Pro tip: watch for the post-credit scene. Your heart will thank you.

Hi! This is a labeler account meant to identify Substack links. If you didn't know, Substack actively courts and platforms Nazis. If you quit X/Twitter because of the Nazi problem, well, what are you still doing on Substack? There are plenty of alternatives which may be more cost-effective for you.

Hells, yes.

Sunday morning breakfast got me feeling like some kinda health influencer. Of course, my dinner last night was a bowl of Moose Tracks ice cream. Balance. 🙃

I lost my favourite toque, if you're wondering how my week's been. On the plus side, it's warmed up from -22° to -12°, so silver lining? 🥶

Leslie Jones is all of us

Did I frivolously buy a neon sign for the karaoke bar in the basement of my new house? Listen, it was $45 and it sparks an immeasurable amount of joy.

Substack is going to keep on substacking unless writers move their newsletters elsewhere and we as readers stop reading people’s substack newsletters. We all have a part to play in taking this fucking platform down and making sure independent journalism stops being laundered through a nazi bar.

Yes, please.

What an absolute batshit, bonkers watch. 10/10. No notes.

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here, but if even if you're not an artist, that goofy meme idea in your head will be a thousand times funnier if you just do a crappy drawing of it yourself vs using generative A.I.

Ooh, my article is in The Desert Sun! Take that, Palm Springs and environs! www.desertsun.com/story/opinio...

Okay, Mother Nature. We get it. You're pissed. And rightfully so. But come on...

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

There is no community without the T.

This movie had no right being so good. Even if you don't like Robbie Williams (it's ok to be wrong), it's just a fantastic watch.

Hope she didn’t end up in the parking lot making out with another guy. ;)

Damn. A $13 concert ticket Found this with not one, but TWO scrapbooks dedicated entirely to Platinum Blonde. In case it wasn't already glaringly obvious I'm a Canadian GenXer. Excuse me while I turn to dust.

www.wearequeeraf.com/the-jewish-t... While we're talking about historical precedents, and given it's Valentine's day, it seems a perfect time to repost this piece Jaime Starr wrote about a transgender lesbian couple, one of whom converted to Judaism for her love before the pair escaped the Nazis.

Roses are red Witches are cool Who’s idea was it To let rich men rule?

Why yes, as a matter of fact, my tinnitus is howling magnificently this morning.

I personally will continue to use "Gulf of Mexico" because our president is a wrathful felonious nincompoop with the intellect of paramecium and I do not consent to his cartographic buffoonery

ONTARIANS: In a move taken straight out of the Republican playbook, Doug Ford has made it harder to vote. You MUST register to vote even if you a) have voted before and b) haven't moved - and you only have until the 17th to do it Go to elections.on.ca to register 1/2

Trying to keep my feed as positive as possible right now, given... *everything* 🥴 But I saw this and, honestly, it feels like a pretty appropriate share.

In exactly 8 weeks, I get to leave the city behind and move out into the country. My mental health can't wait!

Today on HEA Canada: A CanLit Romance Hub; reader and bookstagrammer M the Bookdragon has written a heartfelt blog post about her joy in reading romances set in Canada. canlitromance.ca/2025/02/12/l...

Walking in to NASA’s JPL today as a woman in science leadership felt almost like a protest. They can take us off the webpages and the walls, but we will still be here, absolutely crushing it, and supporting our community while we do it. Happy International Day of Women in Science, everyone.

Packing/moving is the worst, but it's pretty fun when you unearth 'traysures' (thanks, Georgia & Karen) like this. Anyone else remember/see Take Me Out? Didn't see that much of Thom Allison in Killjoys 😎😏🥵
