I don't review books, tv shows, or films anymore because I hate saying bad things about them, but I still want to share some great finds. So, after a year which has allowed me to consume more art than usual, I have come up with a list of my favourites. Books: I did not read … Continue reading Ivy’s 2020 Recommendations
Tonight I sit in my new (to me) reading chair, alone on Christmas Eve. My last post was a month ago, and what a month it's been! I've been busy, and there have been some big changes in my life.

Each breath feels like I'm getting triple the oxygen that I get in the city, and it feels so good. After my … Continue reading Airing Out my Grievances
I wanted to call this "A Summary of Every Film-Related Thing Happening in My Life in the Last Six Months" because that's a more descriptive and enticing title, but it's a bit long. Similar to the quite-long title of a movie I'm in called "Events Transpiring Before, During, And After A High School Basketball Game" … Continue reading Recent Film Things
Mother's Day was one of the first times we left our house together in the pandemic since COVID-19 hit our city in March. Of course, I filmed it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6tCPExEcsA
