Welp, after 4 months, dismal post engagement and a lack of interesting things to say in 300 characters (I've always been a long-form gal) BlueSky is proving to be as uninspiring as Twitter was for me.
Might be back sporadically, but for now, staying active on IG only (and wasting time on Tik Tok)

Seeing my super picky producers excited for my v1 edit of my new short and praise my work is the best reward! I’ll take it! 😎💪
Now off to cut v2…

Vibrating with excitement and gratitude after spending two wonderful days at the Canadian Film Center in Toronto for a NSI / Telefilm Canada producing bootcamp for my new feature! 🤩
Now let’s shoot this thing! 🎥🎞️🎬

Can’t wait to see it!! :)

I don’t think I’ve ever been this stressed about an election result… 🫠
It’s gonna be a looooong night

There’s something scary happening in the Canadian federal election.

In Quebec, the Bloc leader is now telling voters “Carney WILL WIN” so people can vote to give the Bloc more seats.

Singh is now saying Carney will get a “super majority” so voters can elect NDP candidates.

Do you see the problem?

Lucky! They didn’t have them at my location

I voted! 🇨🇦
I wish they gave out little stickers like in the US but they don’t, so you get this status instead.
It only took 15 min; skip the lines and go vote early!

Nothing like updating your professional bio to boost your sense of accomplishment when you're feeling down. I've come a long way, baby! 💪
(and turns out I've done a shit ton in 20 years even though it doesn't feel like much)

Trying to Watch the French leadership debate and it’s painful… 🥴🫠

I think I just held my breath through half of the #WhiteLotus season finale. What a season that was!
10/10, no notes

I love that magical feeling when you fall in love with a project all over again after not working on it for a while.
Yup, this is my new short I shot back in September that I’m finally #editing
This is a special lil’ one and I’m giving it all my love before moving full steam ahead on my feature! 🖤

I sincerely think seeing PP panic, flip flop and try *anything* only to find out Carney is already two steps ahead is my new kink

Vote for reproductive freedom. Your body, your choice, your vote.

Pierre Poilievre is talking about women's biological clocks while campaigning to be Prime Minister.

... that should scare you.

Thankfully, the rad folks @abortionrightscan.bsky.social have put together an election toolkit to combat this nonsense!

Anybody else experiencing a weird sort of guilt with wanting to post anything unrelated to everything that’s going on in the world?
My brain needs a break from the 24/7 anxiety, but at the same time, it feels so trivial to talk about anything else… 😐 How do you folks do it?

I love my “pure laine” québécois family because, every time they say “Trump” it sounds like “trompe”, which is the French verb that means “to deceive” 👀

Fuck PP

This weekend I made a post on the “evil-book” listing Canadian equivalents to US streamers and suggested that how we consume culture should be part of our “boycott 🇺🇸 products” efforts. Today, a CBC researcher reached out and TL;DR: I’m being interviewed about it on CBC Radio tomorrow 🙂 🇨🇦

Hey folks! Been thinking about getting back into medium and long-form writing and giving Substack a serious try.
What are you interested in? What would you like to read about?
I wanna knooooooow!!! 🤓

Random but genuine question:
Disability-issues aside, folks who love using straws… Why?!
What’s wrong with drinking with, y’know, your mouth?

#TIL most paper straws have PFAS in them 🫠

Just spent 7 hours shooting + editing a 5-min pitch video for a new project and I'm so excited, but it's not something that will ever be shared publicly and will only be seen by, like, 12 peeps.
Posting about it as proof I did it + I need a little tap on the back. Please tell me I did a good job?

Hey!!! Long time! Nice to see you here!! :)

Giving Blue Sky a try because I wanna wean myself off FB and this seems like the only option, but no guarantee I'll be super active here. I mean I was never really a huge fan of Twitter and this looks just the same, but who knows what the future holds?!
Anyway, hi! Nice to see you here! :)
