Katsushika Oi, #theprintmakersdaughter, hasn't t become as famous as her dad but she is loved in Japan for persevering in the very shadows she painted. My piece in Engelsberg Ideas: engelsbergideas.com/portraits/kats… #womensart #womensfiction #Japaneseart

@peggy_blair how bizarre. I'm sorry. It worked for me when I posted it.

So here's another account that said unavailable. I click on it and it says I blocked it. It's the National Film Board for God's sake. Why would I ever block Canada's NFB??? Just stop it, Twitter.

@trevor_cole ok sure. I'll watch later today.

@kmgovier I happened to watch it when the nominations came out and again last night. Curious to hear what you think. I’ll save my opinion till then.

I can't wait to watch this. Free at bit.ly/CriedPearlsNFB
