Comms gal. Your friend. Mostly tweeting about films with the occasional political quip or life update. All tweets are my own silly thoughts.

*My Dad and I in line to vote*

My Dad to woman behind us: “There sure are a lot of candidates this time.”

Woman: “Hopefully you did research on the right man to pick for Mayor.”

My Dad: “I will be picking the right woman for the job, that’s for sure.”

@jasmine_mian I am in awe of you and your Herculean spirit! Ward 3 is lucky to have a whip-smart and caring leader.

Calgary is an amazing city, with opportunity for people who chose to call it home. This was a great chance to talk about what makes us matter & how my journey brought me here. Thank you @macleans - that was fun!

@Mr_Pinkster By the fourth alert, it just started to feel more like a taunt than anything ☹️

You want to talk about city building? How about worldbuilding.🌎#AvatarWayOfTheWater transported me to a beautiful new planet tonight. Phenomenal. This franchise is going to tear up the 2020s.

All aboard the Avatar train. Choo choo! 🚂

This is jarring. Twitch brought my friends and I so much joy. He was so captivating to watch and just exuded charisma.

This one really hurts. I’m heartbroken to know he was in so much pain.💔

Last night at the Mayor’s Celebration for the Arts, @JyotiGondek spoke about the need for storytelling to inform a welcoming society - something that we are all trying to build. So in honour of that, here is a mini story of friends who realized their song just came on. 🎶
