A truly wonderful performer who improved everything she appeared in.
The inimitable Catherine O'Hara has died at age 71. From the archives, we revisit her reflections on her early days performing at Second City and on SCTV—and how her work helped shape a fresh, silly and distinctly Torontonian comic sensibility
Untold stories from the early years of Second City, the group that changed comedy - Toronto Life

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

One of my Christmas gifts this year was a pair of slippers. I think it must be 20 years since I last wore slippers. They're good. I quite like them. But they also fool me. Probably to make fun of me.

It's so weird. We openly acknowledge that cats are evil, but when we have two or three of them asleep on us as we watch a movie, and we're desperate to get up to the loo, we suffer in silence so as to not disturb them.

A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption.
B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.
