Sigrid loves when you take care of urself & others

I have the same handle on bluesky - look me up if you’re so inclined.

Posting b/c @CBCMusic is here & not where skies are blue. I am so grateful to be able to learn from your amazing presenters: Tom (@CBCAboutTime) taught me the previously incomprehensible Circle of Fifths, Daniel accessibly defined modes on today’s #CBCCentreStage, & more. TY 🤜🤛

I was going to get out of bed, but then @missprill started playing the sublimely superb @JeremyDutcher on “This is my Music” on @CBCmusic, and well, I didn’t. I still win though, because the hour and a half of the show I caught, her choices and stories were wonderful!!!

@davnetdoyle @CBCMusic About having “that song” in your DNA (re yesterday’s morning show): same, Dav, same. 🤜🤛

@CBCTempo (me stumbling out of bed half asleep to turn on radio) Her Julieship: …”stormy searide to get you there.” Brain pipes up: “HAS to be the Hebrides!” First notes play. Yup, we’re Hebrides bound. Even half asleep I ALWAYS have brain cells for music. Nice one, team. 🤜🤛

@TheMarySue Boooooo!!

Well, the time has come. Vera, one of ITV’s longest and most beloved detective dramas, is officially coming to an end. themarysue.com/an-ode-to-bren…

@AMinOFDE PS> Happy New Year!!!

@AMinOFDE a) already begun b) at BF’s house, but he has to work tomorrow so will be in bed at our usual time. Next week?

@spenley You’ve got Helen Czerski on your team - you can’t lose!!

We made it through the first round, and tonight is the #UniversityChallenge semi-final. It is definitely worth a watch, but will we beat Queen's Cambridge to the final? Find out at 8.30pm (don't think I've left any spoilers in the shot)

@exitthelemming I am so very sorry for your loss. The love your family has for him & the love he shared with you will always shine brightly, of that I am sure. Right down to every tear shed, his & your love will even be in that spark of reflected light on the eyes themselves.Thinking of you all.

I wrote this obituary of my dad for The Observer theguardian.com/culture/2024/d…

@CBCMusic Dear programmers, if DBP & team were in favour, Centre Stage NEEDS to be longer than 1 hour. Daniel’s delicious and delightful nerdery is second only to @CBCTempo’s Queen Julie’s, and like Tempo, Centre Stage’s chosen pieces are 🔥🔥 and always s/th to look forward to.

@Ologies I just listened to the 300th & I just want to say: Congratulations, Mercedes! You did it! Sweating bullets & all, you were positively nerdtastic! Great choice in questions, your asides were genuine & so positive, a difficult job & you did it, as YOU. Thank you! 🤜🤛👏👏

Documentary discovery thanks to @kpassiton: Push by Leilani Farha. Released in 2019, when Housing as a Human Right entered convos. Then came a pandemic, & the probs laid bare haven’t seen any redress. Developers buy politicians so private equity (not people) can buy the homes.

@AmyKStuart @jjfitzgeraldMD @11 This and then some.

@jjfitzgeraldMD I got my period @11. By 15, on the first 2 days of my period every month, I would have to crawl on the floor to get anywhere in the house, throw up multiple times, and miss school s/t pain. BC pills saved me (male OB/GYN didn’t want to prescribe b/c “I could become a whore”).

Hello! Severe menstrual pain is endometriosis until absolutely proven otherwise by an expert surgeon. Never normalize this.

I want a “reverse Costco” where you can buy small amounts of items you will rarely use again, like specialty ingredients. Let me pay $1 for 1 oz of fish sauce. Yes, I can get much more for not that much more money but then I’ll feel guilty every time I see it in my fridge.

@AJamesMcCarthy @MaryWil12963524 6 and a half months, and still counting. 😭😭 We haven’t even been able to use his favourite blankie. It’s folded up in the upside closet where it’ll stay for a while longer.

@MaryWil12963524 Took me 10 months

Okay one last update before I go back to space stuff. He’s making biscuits and sleeping on my face. I think he’s adjusted.

THIS CRISIS IS ONGOING IN FORT CHIPEWYAN: Leaders in Fort Chipewyan held a press conference this morning to announce high levels of contaminants such as heavy metals, uranium, hydrocarbons well above legal limits around the Big Dock and shores surrounding the small community in Northern Alberta. Fort Chipewyan leaders state Transport Canada has known about these contaminants since 2017 but did not tell the community- instead they found out via a third party. “This is environmental racism. This is deadly,” said ACFN Chief Allan Adam. The source of contaminants is believed to be linked to Alberta oil sands upstream, naturally occurring bitumen & other industrial activities. Story to come with @ricochet_en

@ravenscimaven Hands are hard when you’re being filmed or photographed. Also, when you’re me, add dancing to that list of circumstances where that particular challenge is soooo obvious.

Took new headshots recently and just got them back, I'm absolutely in tears about how I have placed my hand in some of these pictures LMAOOOOOO

@SethAndrewsTTA Only when it’s the last bit of milk does scenario B happen: so you know how much cereal you can put in.

What kind of monster puts the milk in first?

@EmmMacfarlane The ‘truthiness’ that one of the Bush presidents kept on about?
