So very sad for Vancouver's filipino community. And no, violence like this in Canada isn't rare. It does happen! youtu.be/sbTuZgVM1is?si…
Funny! Wish I could talk like that to the gen alpha in my house! #professorshocksschoolbyspeakinggenalpha youtube.com/shorts/oj4wYbi…
I am reading "Goddess of the River" by Vaishnavi Patel. Writing is so gorgeous! Loving it! @vaishnawrites @HachetteUS
Such sad news and on such a grand scale 😔 praying for all the families involved. #AirIndiaPlaneCrash youtu.be/t3Sif5W_8NA?si…
Huh! This goes for all the book awards too! I have known judges to not read the books before picking a winner that general public embraces as the best book of the year and then it is promoted everywhere! Sad for writers who have merit but not personal contacts tbh.
Academy voters are now required to watch all nominated films in their respective categories for voting eligibility in the final round.
If you are in Calgary, be sure to check out Calgary Underground Film Festival 2025. My beautiful daughter, Laila Blue, is premiering in short film #cancerSzn @CUFF directed by upcoming and talented Zach Green!
Such a powerful documentary! Always love a good ending! @AMITABHPARASHA6 follows abandoned girl babies in India and midwives who save them over 30 years! Must watch. #bachibacha #india #adoption #girlchild #bbc #documentaries #bbc100women #bbceye youtu.be/uSuMOh_d9oc?si…
What I had for lunch at the Writing Day Workshop Toronto! @ Chefs Hall restaurant. They have gluten free items on the menu! So a plus.
At @writingdaywksp Toronto 2025. It's a rainy gloomy day but excited to be here.
So thrilled to be at the Toronto Writing Workshop 2025 @writingdaywksp Meeting agents in person! Was nervous but ... the agents sure have a knack of making you feel comfortable! Such an amazing opportunity. Thank you @ChuckSambuchino for making this happen!
Thank you gor all you have done for us Canadian writers Alma Lee. You will be missed by the community. Very sad news indeed! theglobeandmail.com/arts/books/art…
We got a new prime minister who is flying around, going to France, cup a coffee, going to England, cup a tea, kisses the King's finger or whatever he does in England, flys back, goes to the Arctic, and puts on a costume, says some stuff...NOT HELPFUL. 😂 youtu.be/brMYxIi9GkQ?si…
Much enjoyed this with @narendramodi. No one can deny @lexfridman is such an amazing interviewer. Engaged and reserved at the same time. And he sure does get to the heart of matter (or people!) youtu.be/ZPUtA3W-7_I?si…
So excited for the release of this. It holds my first academic publication. Chapter 3 - Unpacking the Festival of Diwali in Canada: Where have Rama, Sita, and Lakshman gone? Thank you to the fab editors Rose Ann Torres, Ian Liujia Tian, and Coly Chau. Purchase @ Brill & amazon!
80s and early 90s were some of the best times! Loved it. So funny. Can completely relate. Hehe. @therealrussellp #actyourage Live at Abu Dhabi youtu.be/0sm75-bdpgQ?si…
