Kristen Jeanveau @kjeanveau.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Going to see Jimmy Eat World tomorrow and the show doesn't start until 9:30 and my immediate response was to groan. Trying to navigate back to the hotel through the CNE on opening weekend will be....something. 110
Kristen Jeanveau @kjeanveau.bsky.social · 21/08/2026One of those days where I feel like I've been agonizing at my laptop for five hours with little quantitative output to show for it but I think I finally worked out how to organize my dissertation and chapter topics so that feels like one less hurdle. 040

DeAngelis @caitlindeangelis.bsky.social · 13/08/2026During the Second World War, the Imperial War Graves Commission pulped most of the letters families sent 1917-1930s. That makes the letters in the Canadian archives (LAC) all the more remarkable. This sketch shows comrades cooperating to help find a man who was killed at Passchendaele in 1917: 28926
Kristen Jeanveau @kjeanveau.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Saw Tori Amos on Tuesday for the 11th time and I think it ranks in my top three. What a phenomenal performance. 1233

Reposted by Kristen JeanveauAlan Allport @alanallport.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Overall I liked Nolan’s directorial decision making. But the final scene in which Matt Damon turns to the camera with a smile and says “In fact, you could say it was quite an Odyssey” was poorly judged. 6414
Kristen Jeanveau @kjeanveau.bsky.social · 21/07/2026I feel like I'm in the minority when I say The Odyssey was fine™️ Perfectly cromulant 7/10 for me but nowhere near ny favourite of Nolan's films. I don't understand the gushing over Damon/Hathaway/Holland's performances. (They weren't terrible! They were fine.™️) 030
