Graham Greene has died. A Canadian acting icon, he earned an Oscar nomination for his role as Kicking Bird in Dances With Wolves. He also won a Grammy, Gemini and Canadian Screen Award, along with the Governor General's Performing Arts Award. He also earned a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.

The insane need for Dave Filoni to shoehorn in every single character from The Clone Wars into The Mandalorian is, for me, more destructive than anything KK has or could do. And I like TCW.

Pinterest is the worst place to be if youāre an artist. Itās soul crushing how much AI is there and how few people know itās AI. Also threads sucks and I should leave now that itās basically infiltrated by mags bots

It is very possible to be critical of the Israeli war machine without being an antisemite and blaming all Jewish people for the actions of a political regime. Americans, we should grok this concept intimately. I don't brook antisemitism anymore than I brook islamophobia in my circles. Be better.

amazing art and doing well. I didnāt reach out because it has been years and I was kind of embarrassed about seeming desperate a few years before when I kept trying to hang out with him and he was always ābusyā.

time I came home from college for Christmas of 1990 and he borrowed my Red Hot + Blue CD ( the one I was listening to this morning). He told me how much he loved the kd lang song āSo In Loveā so it became my new favorite track. The day I was leaving for the airport he brought it back and had coffee

He went away to art school in the fall and we wrote a couple letters back and forth. Talked occasionally when he came home from break. I knew he was straight, he knew I had a massive crush and made a point to tell me about his girlfriend, etc. but was still friends with me. We hung out the first

He came to the door in nothing but sweaty gray Ocean Pacific shorts (if you were around they were very short and thin fabric). I almost threw up I was so nervous. He borrowed my Midnight Oil tape and we talked about music and art. It was my first CRAZY crush. If you know you know.

A weird, fat, gay kid and in retrospect was so obvious in my crush that 53 year old me wants to just give me a hug. But Eric was kind, friendly, and we bonded over art. I literally started an art exhibit at a community festival just to get to hang out with him. When I went to pick up art from him
