Once again thinking about Caravaggio (yes, the painter) and his inscribed sword that he would use in gang fights against rival art groups. "Without hope, without fear," holy shit, dude.

Look. I'm born in Canada, but my Colombian parents made sure I was Colombian first. I will order your fancy bone marrow and make sure to use whatever knives and my teeth to get to the all the marrow and gristle. I am chaos

Despite an ACL tear (still waiting for a call to get my knee drained), still doing ttc commutes. Nothing opens your eyes wider at how inaccessible Toronto is when you are disabled. So does motherhood with a stroller or having an autistic kid with sensory issues. But the physical aspect is hard.

"Promising Young Woman" was much maligned when it came out but judging by how many people are shocked by the Cornell 7 story, I think some of y'all should settle in and watch it.

David Byrne's Bicycle Diaries during my kiddo commute. His perceptions of cities are incredibly inciteful. Relate to his love of exploration by feeling lived in a city through its transport and accessibility. I love this book. I am very much anti-car, at least as in they chop up cities.

While going through security on my flights my hands were swabbed, knee braces analyzed. Was it the color of my skin? My look? I soon realized the pin in my knee (not my piercings tho) set everything off. It's funny cuz I'm doing stuff with another ACL tear atm & can I get robot knees already now?

I missed @letterboxd.social Friday and I don't remember what I saw on the plane (I know I saw a few eps of WELCOME TO DERRY, but...I did see TONY (2026) last night. It was good as a mostly fictionalized story. boxd.it/guZilL

A ★★★ review of Tony (2026)
I watched TONY (2026) the Anthony Bourdain film. It was good. A lot of it was fictionalized, but based on events and people from his start in a kitchen and as a writer. I have to admit my love for Ant...

Bicycling everywhere and taking amazing public transit in Amsterdam. Stolpersteine (Holocaust memorial stones in the Jewish quarter), trying spekkoek, taking photos of my man taking photos, and at Filmtheatre Kriterion for pints and people watching. Send my kids & pets. Staying here.

When in Amsterdam.....I bruised a rib in a nasty fall before my trip while vacuuming, no less. We went into the "coffee shop" here and they gave me some medicine. I rarely have ever had a joint, don't smoke, but it eased my pain for a while. Having fun while healing up.

Twenty years of writing fashion commentary has taught me that this is the single most-cited fashion reference by the general public. People who don't know a thing about fashion or costume design remember this dress. It's safe to call it one of the most remembered dresses of the last hundred years.
