I wrote audio description for this recently. She was a force. 😭

No tears shed for Ian Watkins, though. That piece of garbage can rot in whatever swamp puked him up.

She was so compelling to watch. Sad that she was so young.

I wrote AD for a Diane Keaton film just recently. She had such a marvellous big personality. Only 79. 🙁

I’m overwhelmed today, so I’ll just sit here and browse recipes on my phone while avoiding eye contact with the to-do list on my fridge.

Oh, oopsie. Hope these unfunny twats pay attention to a concept the rest of us enjoy called, “consequences.”

Comedians like Aziz Ansari and Jessica Kirson need to look elsewhere for organizations to donate their Riyadh Comedy Festival money. Human Rights Watch said they ‘cannot accept’ donations from them.

IG is hiding replies from women indicating that the photogs should be paid. Trash socials.

Sally T 🎞️ + 📺 + ⌨️ @sallyjaybee.bsky.social · 3d

A band I love is seeking women & nb photogs to shoot a leg of their tour, but it’s unpaid (for “exposure” lol).

All the young things commenting on IG are like, “sick, cool, amazing” and chirpy old fecker me is like, “pay artists, you cheap arseholes.” Love when women ‘get’ to work for free.

I mean, any loud phone conversation (or video sans headphones) on transit should be a hard no.

We’re all unwilling captive audiences these days, and it’s noise pollution.

Why do people feel like having loud, angry phone conversations on transit? Apart from bothering everyone else, do they not care about everyone else knowing their business?

Marineland is a cruel and disgusting place for beautiful social sea mammals.

I’m so sad for the belugas.

It really is. I hate the feckers who’ve unleashed hell on everyone. I hope they suffer when their ends come. 😭

I’m not the sucking up kind, so I’m not a fan of suckers-up.

This new authoritarian world order is a massive downer.

Canadian Thanksgiving is this coming weekend. It is essentially a harvest festival, and our ‘traditional’ recipes don’t include green bean casserole or cornbread stuffing.

Come on, food bloggers…do a little research, and dispense with the fancy-pants upgrades.

Nearly 8% of the people on our planet are farmers who produce more than a third of the world’s food on small plots of land...just an acre or two each. These farmers want to work, produce, feed their families, sell what’s left, and stay on their farms (cont.)
