Katie West

I am usually inappropriate, but in an admirable way. I am a photographer, teacher, and writer living in Toronto, Canada. I really love my cats, Star Trek and my husband. Also dancing, monochromatic colour schemes, wearing every pattern in the world at the same time, grocery shopping, autumn, science fiction television shows, bad movies and Korean pop music. Among a billion other things.

ASK ME SOMETHING. Or show me neat things.

BUY MY BOOK. It's pretty okay.

These cute kitty keychains are not toys, but are in fact a very serious defense weapon. Get em here!

This makes me think of Katie for some reason.

Katie needs weapons disguised as adorable cat themed accessories.

I do need these. And in fact I was buying them, but they don’t ship to Canada. Any American friend wanna help me out? I’ll ship it to you, you ship it to me?  (Thanks, Max!)

I received some photos in the mail today. Last fall, Molly, Katie and I met for dinner and drinks in the East Village. Molly was experimenting with some old polaroid film she found. As deteriorated as that film was, it still managed to capture how much fun we had together and how I felt as if I were with old friends, even though it was the first time we had met in person.

Thanks, Molly!

This is from a Robin Thicke video, Love After War. That is his wife, Paula Patton. But what I really want to know is where can I get this amazing lingerie? It is so hot and badass. Or where can I get something similar? I really want it very much. Anyone?

Thank you cburke! http://www.misencage.com/en/lingerie/suspenders/328-camilla-harness.html

Haywire Trailer 2 (by HaywireMovie)

Part of the appeal of Haywire was to watch Gina Carano kick the shit out of Michael Fassbender. And that was very good, I’ll admit.

But after watching it I just have to say:

GINA CARANO FOR PRESIDENT OF EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE FOREVER.

I am 100% opposed to SOPA and PIPA, even though I’m one of the artists they were allegedly written to protect. I’ve probably lost a few hundred dollars in my life to what the MPAA and RIAA define as piracy, and that sucks, but that doesn’t come close to how much money I’ve lost from a certain studio’s creative accounting.

The RIAA and MPAA are, again, on the wrong side of history. Attempting to tear apart one of the single greatest communications achievements in human history in a misguided attempt to cling to an outdated business model instead of adapting to the changing world is a fucking crime.

A free and open Internet is as important to me as the bill of rights. I don’t want the government of one country — especially the corporate-controlled United States government — to exert unilateral control over the Internet for any reason, especially not because media corporations want to buy legislation that won’t do anything to actually stop online piracy, but will expand the American police state, and destroy the Internet as we know it.

Please contact your Senators and US Representatives, and tell them to vote NO on SOPA and ProtectIP. The future of the Internet — and the present we take for granted — depend on it.

I think I might love Kate Leth.

Me: Whoa. Just got an email from my Dean about another board he got appointed to. How does he have time to run the business school and sit on all these boards and do all the other stuff he does? How does he have time to think about all this stuff?

Matt: Well, I think when you sit on a board you only meet once a month or maybe less.

Me: Yeah.

Me: Plus he doesn’t have Tumblr.

Matt: No, he does not.

textsfromtheenterprise is the best thing I’ve seen all day. (Well, besides the fact that Patrick Stewart is coming to Toronto.)

Thank you, Jon.
