More topics we talked about: Blitz, the label that Marilyn sold in Toronto at Zig Zag in Yorkville--Sandy Stagg, doyenne of vintage in Toronto and London and General Idea's glamour girl--RIP Kevin and Rough Trade--RIP to a particular Toronto that I loved--

I remember we three chatting about clothes at their house --as we talked, Kevin and Marilyn would dash upstairs and bring down garments that held meaning to them--a Montana leather, a Matsuda jacket that Carole Pope wore in the Sexual Outlaw video--

It made me miss the great Globe fashion coverage I grew up with--it made me miss dear David Livingstone--it made me miss the afternoon I spent with Kevan and his wonderful wife Marilyn, who was herself a fabulous fashion designer...

Thanks for @bradwheelerglobe.bsky.social for all the fashionable tidbits in Kevan Staples's obit--from an Alina Gildiner line about his penchant for Muglerian shoulder pads to a David Livingstone line about his pant cuffs....

I know it's impossible as a normal person to completely disentangle yourself from Amazon's tentacles, but I don't understand how at this point any actor, writer, or filmmaker can take a penny from Amazon Studios. Surely there are still (a few) other less evil options?

Canada Would Like a Word About Trump’s Threats Americans should stop treating attacks on their neighbor as a joke.

And not one of the polite ones. We’ve written a response to @nytimes.com’s Peter Baker and every other American who is taking the annexation of Canada as a fun thought experiment. Here in @foreignpolicy.com with my daughter @alicesouthey.com. Gift link.

Go get a job at FOX — we’re done with you

I don’t think enough people realize how out of control the crackdowns on pro-Palestinian speech in Canada are. This is completely outrageous.

@nytimes.com Why are you so consistently craven?

Dumb bot, shut up
