We need diverse representation not only so every kid can see themselves as the hero of the story, but so that every kid can understand that *other* kinds of kids are *also* the heroes of the story.

Representational diversity is important not just for minority kids to see themselves represented, but for the majority kids to understand that they're not the only ones that can be the center of an interesting story.

Daughters are no longer raised to be wives. They're raised to be people. And some people are really not okay with that. They're not being taught to sacrifice themselves for the comfort of others. Not being told that marriage is the finish line. Not being conditioned to make themselves smaller to be loved. They're being raised to earn their own money, choose their own timing, live alone if they need to, and not apologise for wanting more. They're building lives where love is welcome but not begged for. They're questioning things their mothers had to silently accept. They're choosing healing, not just habits. And for people who are used to obedience, that kind of freedom looks like defiance.

Pantages theatre, this week. The ceiling was amazing.

Brilliant!

Toronto Roundhouse.

Random shot of Toronto from last week.

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

At this point it’s been said in a hundred different ways, so I think people are being intentional about not getting it.

My Fitbit seems to classify lying in bed at 4 in the morning, staring into the Abyss, as "sleeping ".

I assure you, Fitbit, it is not.

I apologize that I have no cute cat pictures to share due to a lack of cute cats. I think my neighbours might object if I started posting pictures of their cats.

Any body else having twinges of anxiety over deleting their X account? I know it became a hell scape, but what if the oligarchy says something important and we miss it?
