Thanks to Jill, @CBCAinslie and @CBCMontreal for having me on to talk about resiliency, Raymond Carver, and Pretty Woman. cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

@thepitchshow @joshmuccio @erica_wenger @MartinGTobias @ManusJillian @chudson @mbraimah_ @netflix @KimoyoInsights @joshmuccio Oof, Martin said some things that made me wince. “Land grab” and “you’re just renting people, which isn’t a defendable asset” are VC terms, but in the context of a black woman talking about Africa, the terms ‘land grab’ and “renting people’ sounded tone deaf, no??

✨New pitch just dropped🔥 Featuring new VC's @erica_wenger, @MartinGTobias and listener favorites @ManusJillian and @chudson. When @mbraimah_ led product design at @netflix she struggled to find participants in Africa to test new products. So she started @KimoyoInsights, a research analytics platform that helps companies like @Microsoft & @theflutterwave gather feedback from African consumers. But Kimoyo doesn’t quite fit the venture mold. Can Mariam convince investors to make a bet on user research in the data desert of Africa? Listen to episode 116 now 👉pitch.show/116

@richimedhurst Awful. Refusing to acknowledge the existence of a country and its people is disputable whether it’s not acknowledging Israel or Palestine. Both have a right to exist — hopefully together. Saying, “there is no Israel” is inhumane. Thanks for pointing out this hatred.

Reporter (in Arabic): Hi, I'm from Israel Fan: There's no such thing as israel, only Palestine Reporter: Yes there is [Drowned out by fans]: "Free Palestine, amen"!

@lethal_heroine Love this. Who’s to say who has their priorities in order: adult or child?

Trying to get little children to wash their hands is always a trip. They all argue they can’t possibly fit it into their very busy schedules. Then go lay on the ground and stare at a snail for twenty minutes.

@kingstonwrites Great line. Also, the almost aggressive Britishness of this movie title is appreciated.

There's a moment in Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging where the cool guy asks the main girl is she smokes and her answer is "Only if my hair's on fire" and I've been thinking about it for twenty years

@kingstonwrites Reminds me of the Maggie Smith poem: poetryfoundation.org/poems/89897/go…

“Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.” - William Goldman

@InsaniNox When you get to be middle aged you’ll say fuck it and revert back to that photo, or better yet, an updated version.

Finally changed my WhatsApp pic to something more wholesome than me at pole class, in a translucent bra, with crosses on my nips 😔

“He was what, in Yiddish, we call a mensch: a person of profound integrity and honour (I can't help but pause here to reminisce about how he loved learning new words. I think he believed that each one held a secret).” cbc.ca/books/montreal…

“Despite Steven Heighton's many talents, it is his friendship that I will miss the most.” In a touching tribute, writer @JoshAdamLevy shares his thoughts on the acclaimed Canadian poet. cbc.ca/books/montreal…

#stevenheighton Steven Heighton is very missed, by very many, including me. bit.ly/3s7Cfd9

A thought: Love and pain are irreparably linked, and only the most courageous get to feel love’s full embrace.

@ToulasTake Lovely

Oh, how I needed this… ❤️❤️

@theclarelevy Your Twitter bar-mitzvah!!

The perfect card to go with the perfect birthday gift. ;) #dreamteam @lethal_heroine @ArizonaONeill

You can’t help others without helping yourself. You can’t hurt others without hurting yourself.

It’s a full-out assault on 1980’s Prime time television.

Betty White... Bob Sagat... 2022 isn’t fucking around, eh?

There’s no better feeling than finding the right word. #writerslife

@InsaniNox Full House ... if you ignore aunt Becky

Need recommendations for wholesome shows that will help restore my faith in humanity, go!

Blown away by this @alacarteblanche story by @MargoLaPierre carteblanchemagazine.com/issue-42/lapie… Such an original voice! So in command of the English language.
