Sad to hear Jane Goodall has died. I got the incredible pleasure of sitting down with her for an in-person interview 10 years ago and it remains a career high. www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

Thank you so much!

I spent today remembering a legend 🖤

“from the get go, it was an exploration of why it was misremembered. Why was all this joy and success and money and progress not celebrated for what it was?” - Lilith Fair doc director Ally Pankiw

Marilyn! 🖤

My column:

Nicole Kidman's husband put on a very fun, very bright show in Winnipeg last night.

In advance of the (excellent) new Lilith Fair documentary's arrival on CBC Gem today, I talked to director Ally Pankiw about how the sexist culture of the late '90s made us memory hole this incredibly successful festival. www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-lif...

I love this wisdom-from-seniors project, and have since @jenzoratti.bsky.social first wrote about it: www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-lif...

Can you ever truly be alone with your thoughts when your thoughts don’t leave you alone? Bria Fernandes' striking paintings grapple with that question. Things Left Unsaid, her first solo show in Winnipeg, is on view now at Gallery 1C03.

Your mind is a marvel. Embrace that. It is not difficult to ascertain when students are using AI because the writing is bad. If your goal is to get a good grade, you want to put your best writing forward. I prefer flawed, human writing to mediocre machine writing.

Thank you!

I loved writing this one ❤️
