That’s quite a bold statement since there’s been a Jurassic World movie this year. Excited to see who wins.

Sad to hear that legendary artist Drew Struzan has died aged 78. He made over 150 movie posters, including ones for Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Police Academy, The Thing, The Shawshank Redemption, Blade Runner, and many more.

I think that there’s little more beautiful or powerful than an entire room, arena or stadium of people all singing the same song at the top of their voices. It’s magical.

Aww thank you. I’m not, but do love Canada. I’ve visited Vancouver so far and want to go to Toronto! I have lots of Canadian friends, and a Tim Hortons mug!

Sad to hear that Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, who participated in the Stonewall uprising in 1969, has died aged 78. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

ACLU @aclu.org · 1d

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Most definitely.

Ooh, good question! When I was a kid I loved Matilda. She had a love of books and triumphed over evil.

I recently enjoyed Sin Bin Island by Doug Naylor, which is a funny adventure for children of all ages.

Encourage them to read as much as possible, and know that history has had amazing people.

I think it let people know that we absolutely still have a voice, and have boycotting power. I think it will make some businesses think twice before being quick to cancel something.

I think the question is, would a woodchuck want to chuck wood if they could? I could see them experimenting with it, but then going back to chucking dirt, rather than testing their absolute wood chucking limit. So I think at most, 2 pieces of wood before their curiosity was satiated.
