Saw this beautiful film your @mayfairtheatre.bsky.social matinee Wednesday!

@seandevine9.bsky.social when is your turn to perform the show?

Poster for the play Blank by Nassim Soleimanpour at the Great Canadian Theatre Company. The image is the actor Maryse Fernandes in a blue shirt or a white long sleeve top. They are playing with four fabric dolls.

On Saturday March 21st at 2pm I will be performing BL_NK @gctclive.bsky.social
Written by Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour, it is a theatrical tigtrope. You don't get the script until you step on the stage! And away you go. Tickets are available at: sales.gctc.ca/EventAvailab...

*its* one day I will post without errors, but not today.

The sleeve, liner notes, and clear green record of the new Status Non-Status album Big Changes are laid out left to right. The cover features a blue graffitti covered dumpster centred in a grey back alley. The liner notes featured the picture of a greenhouse.

Fun things in the mail: this new @statusnonstatus.bsky.social album 'Big Changes' arrived Wednesday, so I have had a couple of days to enjoy it before it's offical release today on @youvechanged.bsky.social
It's also @bandcamp.com Friday if you were looking to grab a copy!

In Ottawa, two new plays and a Governor General’s Literary Award winner warm up the capital The Globe’s theatre reporter and critic reflects on two plays with room to grow at Undercurrents Festival, plus a solid production of The Piano Teacher further south

What a treat to spend a few days immersed in Ottawa's theatre scene — I cut my teeth as a critic in that city and, judging by this trip, the quality of work has only improved since my last trip east.

Here's the work that impressed me most:

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

A red banner on a white background proclaims "Time to get excited!". Below that is a thumbnail image of a man holding a bottle of water. Next to that is the title of the perfomance: Wind. And the opening date of the performance Feb. 12 2026 7:30pm

Time to get excited indeed! I am so proud to be a part of this world premiere #ottawafringe #undercurrentsfestival this weekend! WIND by Cullen McGrail. Check out all the festival has to offer at

Councillor Tim Tierney is wrong about ‘Chronic No-Voters’ in his Ottawa Citizen Op/Ed on Saturday.
His opinion would be easier to take seriously if the comments weren’t coming from someone with a 15-year track record of being a reliable yes-man for every budget. 1/21

Made it five days, but #whamageddon2025 sent me to #whamhalla today. Carry on without me, oh brave souls!

BREAKING Kneecap Not Banned from Canada. Sources Inside Prime Minister Carney's Office Confirm MP Vince Gasparro Went Rogue; Liberals Trying to Hush Story

OTTAWA, ON - In a dramatic turn of events on a day already marked by major announcements - Canada's recognition of Palestinian statehood and the tabling of a new federal hate crimes bill - sources inside the Prime Minister's Office have confirmed that Irish rap group Kneecap was never officially banned from Canada, despite Liberal MP Vince Gasparro's public statements. According to a senior PMO insider, Gasparro went rogue in making the announcement, lied about receiving authorization from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), and may have committed a serious breach of the federal Privacy Act, an unprecedented scandal in Canadian history. "The PMO explicitly asked MP Gasparro whether he had IRCC's authorization to make his announcement - he said yes. That was false," the source confirmed. "No decision had been made by IRCC or the PMO. His statement was completely unauthorized."

Kneecap was never actually banned from Canada and the Liberal MP who announced it has GONE ROGUE??????

What the fuck!!!!

This is unhinged!!!!

It was a great set, thank you all the #scarybearsoundtrack folks!

Donate to Help The Elephant Girls 10th Anniversary Remount!, organized by Margo MacDonald When we premiered The Elephant Girls in a little studio theatre at t… Margo MacDonald needs your support for Help The Elephant Girls 10th Anniversary Remount!

This one-woman show about a real-life all-female gang of thieves is absolutely wonderful, queer & dark & extraordinary. I'd love to see Margo reach the funding goal to do a 10th anniversary remount in at least two cities!

Outdoor stage at the Club SAW Courtyard, Ottawa. In the foreground are neat piles of cable and folded microphone stands. There is a piece of red carpet centrestage - where the drum set was. On the fence backstage are three flags. Left to right they are the Trans Pride flag, the Side by Side Weekend banner, and the flag of Palestine.

Good night #sidebysideweekend

Late to the party, but SINNERS is a really, really, good movie. Thank you @mayfairtheatre.bsky.social

Urgent: sanction Israel with an arms embargo - Leadnow

CANADIANS: if you haven't contacted your MP recently about an arms embargo, use this template from @leadnowca.bsky.social -- I was sure to add details to their template about the people I'm communicating with in Gaza.

Every Canadian has only three friends

Two 7 inch records one the left The Ape-ettes from Northern Ontario and on the right Sister Suzie from Edmonton. The Ape-ettes cover features the legs of the band behind a number of curling rocks. They are all holding curling brooms. The Sister Suzie cover features a drawing of green lips and a long pink tongue stick out with the words "Don't Want To" written on it.

Fun things in the mail from #retarecords for some Friday afternoon spins.

Voted for hope, but expect to be disappointed.

Purple lp plays on a turntable. In the foreground is the lp's cover. In the top right corner is the name Jimmie in yellow, all caps text. The album art is a close up of an animal's brown fur.

Today's spin: JIMMIE.
Love the way that Jimmie Kilpatrick captures the delight and uncertainity of it all.
