POV you’re the reporter who just asked me why I love women’s hockey and I am answering “uhhhhh. I love women and also hockey”

Screenshot of a newscast where I’m getting interviewed. There’s a panel below my head that says “Gabrielle Drolet: victoire fan”

My latest for the Globe and Mail. Love the PWHL, hate that the PWHL is sponsored by Novo Nordisk

Two people at a hockey game. A giant ad for Barbie says ‘YOU CAN BE ANYTHING’

One of them says ‘this is such great messaging for young girls!’

The ad changes to one for Wegovy, a weight loss drug. The same woman says ‘oh! So much for ‘you can be anything.’”

Looking for a good recent book to read by a Canadian author (or perhaps a Christmas gift or general gift for someone else)? I suggest Look Ma, No Hands by Gabrielle Drolet. It’s also available as an audiobook. @gabrielledrolet.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books/r...

"I got this job the way I’ve gotten most of my jobs: through an acquaintance who heard I was looking for work. This is key to success in freelancing... a roster of industry connections who know how desperate you are." I'm very late to this fun excerpt from @gabrielledrolet.bsky.social's book!

just saw a novel get described as being “set in Sally Rooney’s Ireland.” and I know what they mean, but it does make it sound like Ireland is a place Sally Rooney rules over with an iron fist

Three panel comic. Paul mescal is speaking and uses quotation marks in his speech bubble. Then he says “ah, I forgot, we can’t use quotation marks here. Not in sally Rooney’s Ireland”

I finished @gabrielledrolet.bsky.social's book: Look Ma, No Hands last night and loved it. I worked at a complex chronic pain facility in Toronto in my early professional career and this really was a perfect bookend to that chapter. What a touching and funny story! Recommended!

so much of women’s health stuff is like “yeah we know this because we conducted one study sixty years ago on a single rat. and the rat was male”

I'm a trained chef, and I've taught hundreds of cooking classes. I always tell people "use what you gotta to put meals on the table." That goes double if you have any kind of physical issues! (check out the viral "garlic" article by @gabrielledrolet.bsky.social): thewalrus.ca/garlic-in-a-...

A fun fact about LOOK MA, NO HANDS is its colours were selected from this picture of Jim Henson and the Muppets

Sincere apologies to the person who bought my book and then realized it’s largely about lezzing out

Review that says “I was expecting more about coping with disability. Too much about lesbian love life”
