I went to a screening of the Tetris movie. The theatre was pretty packed so I had to take the last seat in the row, then suddenly we all disappeared.

@EditorTanya Congratulations! I know the website struggle all too well. Good for you! It looks great.

@feathertale @joelkimmel @paceyjacob @JennJLaw @kara_pyle @ONArtsCouncil @magscanada @CanadaCouncil @wentingthings @cstarnino @toomanystories @mc_swm Just got mine and it is a beauty. Incredible design. Love it!

We call Feathertale No.27 the most shareable magazine ever, and maybe it is. Every story, poem & comic inside has been printed on removable postcards. The whole thing is designed to be dismantled & shared. 44 writers and artists contributed to this issue. Cover art by @joelkimmel

@HeatherBadenoch @PlanteSteph613 Now *that* sounds like a handy shortcut. We love their food, too. We are overdue for a visit!

Omnomnom Habesha Ethiopian Restaurant. THE BEST. On Montreal Road in Vanier. Not sure what to order? Just ask for “What Heather and Paul order”. Mimi, the owner, will take care of you. @PlanteSteph613

Greatest Christmas present of all time was a book of lifesavers. The new ones are crap- but the ones in the seventies were absolutely epic. 10 rolls.

@realBrookNash Fraggle Rock.

What do you 10/10 recommend?

@DasBod Oh no. I have to go into one soon, sigh.

@rawlsonking Thank YOU! Congratulations!

Thank you, #RideauRockcliffe.

@rawlsonking You should be very proud of your work so far, and I will be doing my part on Monday to make sure you can continue. Thank you for everything you have done for us!

We have accomplished a lot, and we also have a lot more to do, #RideauRockcliffe. I look forward to working on this to-do list for our Ward. Please remember to vote on Monday. 🗳

@sciEditor @DanBlank YES. I can’t do air traffic control from a beach!

@DanBlank "You can work in any little corner!" No. I need multiple screens, ergonomics, space to spread out reference texts, & fast enough internet to check facts (incl video) & transmit files of many MB.

What's the most frustrating assumption people have made about your life as a creator? (i.e. "I bet it all comes easily to you")

@espirian Fine with old, less fine with the implied old = bad.

So you don't have to look at the Daily Mail: The top 10 emojis that make you look "old", according to a poll of 2000 people aged 16–29. 1 👍🏻 - 24% 2 ❤️ - 22% 3 👌🏻 - 20% 4 ✔️ - 17% 5 💩 - 17% 6 😭 - 16% 7 🙈 - 15% 8 👏🏻 - 10% 9 💋 - 10% 10 😬 - 9%

@Gnatleech @juldrin Yeah, that’s a hard no for me, too. Also Breakfast Club, sorry to say.

@BjhBrian @Pepperoni_Salad My sister thinks Jerome gave major Jeff Goldblum vibes and I completely agree.

@Pepperoni_Salad Never warmed to Rusty. Jerome was #1

DYING at the Canadians in the Zoom talking about The Friendly Giant and the Americans being like "WTF there was a chicken in a bag nailed to the wall?!" YES AND THIS MADE US WHAT WE ARE. WHY ALL CANADIAN HOMES HAVE A BAG CHICKEN ON THE WALL.

@Gnatleech I see that you’re quite invested! Good analysis.

@Gnatleech I was curious so I went a-Googling. Someone was confident enough that Blane says “you just didn’t believe in me” to be angry about it, so maybe they’re right. You’ll see their comment here: ew.com/movies/2017/06…

@gabrielledrolet @thewalrus This was such a great essay. Wonderful to see it recognized by others.

new issue of @thewalrus includes a letter to the editor about the Garlic Essay and I feel very emotional

@HeatherBadenoch Ooh. Noted!

Have I told you about Supreme Kabob? On Baxter Road near IKEA. Annette always gets the lamb shank and I’m obsessed with the manto —beef dumplings smothered in lentils.
