Dinner. Yum.

A tale of two tweets. (I really don’t like referring to anything on that hellscape, but I just couldn’t pass this one up) #esparg #worldcupwinners #spain #argentina #worldcup #fifa #final #worldcupfinal #worldcup2026 #fifa2026

Not saying I know anything at all about futbol, but here were my family pool predictions for the semis and the final of the #2026worldcup. #worldcup #esparg #argesp #2026fifaworldcup #worldcup2026

Droopy dog looking guys 😂

Is anyone shocked by this? #francevsmorocco #argentina #fifa #worldcup #france #mbappe #shady

Congrats to #Belgium. A well-deserved win. A little Magritte nod for you. #usavsbel #usabel #worldcup #worldcup2026 #trumpruinseverything

Mad respect for him. For a lot of things. Including his ability to smile and carry on doing what he does (not that he should have to, but that’s a choice he’s making). And, also:

Well, now, THAT was FUN!! #gocanada #canada #worldcup #worldcup2026 #canadavssouthafrica #vancouver #brentwood

“A person is captured & held in an empty 🏠 w 3 🚪s. They r told that 2 lead 2 freedom, but 1 carries the risk of death. [Stuck] w an impossible choice, [they stay] & [become] a prisoner…Ppl perpetuate their own oppression when they submit to illusions of safety…

Been a rough week. My car needs a huge fix (engine stuff). My son was super sick w a cold and ear infection. I am so tired & worn out - & just want the school year to end (the kids feel it, too). The 🌎 is kind of on 🔥. But then I have moments like this. Yes, we got pie-d & soaked. Was awesome.

These are 3 pieces I will show my students next year when we kick off the learning at start of our class. We may just begin w a discussion on AI use and Google as ‘teller of truth’ in our classroom. #tech #AI #teaching

If you’re interested in learning about equity and justice and want to connect w like-minded educators, this October’s PSA day with Anti-Oppression Educators’ Collective is going to be a good one. Ta-Nehisi Coates is the keynote. Registration happens in July, 2026.

Absolutely!

Yes. Demme’s close-ups are unique and absolutely blew the door open for film makers to get in close to character experience, thinking and emotion.

My mood…

Fiction and film are freakishly foreshadowing.

I can for sure say that these 4 are the coolest people on the planet right now. By a long (moon)shot. And I do think that their mission was as much about hope as it was about info and data. The fact that there are Canadian & American folks still working together matters. #Artemis #NASA #Return

For anyone interested in following the whip around the moon today, here are some cool photos and key links: www.nasa.gov/live/ artemis-ii-tracker.com

Went to #Tamam restaurant in EastVan (on Hastings/off Nanaimo). The food was delish. The folks who own/run it walk the walk when it comes to ❤️ & support of their homeland, Palestine. Good folks, honouring their ppl & food. Owner said, we treat the food like 🖼️. We can all support places like these.

This is a brilliant, heart-pulling book of poems. Crushed Wild Mint by Jess Housty is my new favourite. Nature and connection to land is a running thread. I could have my students deconstruct the cover image alone. #poetry #canadianlit #indigenouswriters #ELA #english #landbased #nature

It’s #TheOscars & I’m excited 2 see who wins (& what ppl view as best art-making in 🎞️). Here are my Top 10 choices for 2025 (all were original/moving in some way). Sinners was my fave & I really hope it wins. It was innovative, powerful & not like any other movie I’ve ever seen. #Top10

Since everyone is feeling a bit anxious and nervous about the recent news headlines… Can we share the one thing in this world that brings you joy? Pics, words, etc. My son playing Lego. And trees and light.

Lunch yesterday was very good. Quinoa chicken salad. Spinach, cucumber, red cabbage, carrot, pineapple, green onion, and cilantro to top it off. Peanut and ginger dressing. Meal prep took some time but now I have 2 salads prepped for this week. #lunch #mealprep #quinoa #spinach #salad

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19. This album was played a LOT when I was 19. Soundtrack of coming into my adulthood. I still play a few of these songs on my ‘sing it’ playlist.

I had the BEST 🥪. Dante’s on the Drive. They have one on Robson, 2. Same owners as Via Tavere (on Victoria Dr). The Americano was delicious. The cannoli!!!! Yummers. These guys know how to make a solid Italian meal. And I grew up w them! Dom & Frankie have made good. #dantes #vancity #vancouvereats

Katy Perry (born on October 25, 1984) is an American singer, songwriter, and television personality known for her vibrant pop music and "Queen of Camp" style. Rising to fame with hits like "I Kissed a Girl" (2008) and "Teenage Dream" (2010), she is one of the best-selling artists in history.

For anyone interested, there r a few docs that deal w this, including ‘The Invisibles’ & ‘Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport’. ‘Arms of Strangers’ was nominated for an Oscar & is powerful. It shows ppl’s attempt to save children. The one I watched a few days ago: Unbroken
