Happy Mother’s Day to this amazing powerhouse and ally. Thank you for always championing the good. Love you. x #Deb4Prez
This picture was taken on our last day in our Rosebud Motel room. Tears are a good thing. It means you care.
This show has been the love of my life for the past seven years. Getting to tell these stories, build these characters, and watch them grow has been a privilege for which I will always be grateful. Working with this brilliant cast and crew and basking in the glow of their extraordinary talent for six amazing seasons are what I’m going to miss the most. We built a family on those sets and it’s reassuring to know that time won’t ever change that. I love you all more than you will ever know.
And as for our viewers, getting to share this show with you, getting to watch you champion it, tell your friends about it, herald its messages of love and acceptance and decency with such empathy and passion…that is something I will never forget. The stories you have shared with me over the years have made me laugh and cry and feel empowered to keep making things that mean something. You’ve taught me that television has the power to not only bring people together in profound and inspiring ways, but also the power to change conversations and consequently, change lives. I know that you all have certainly changed mine. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy lives to watch our show. I am forever grateful for this time we had together. Here’s to many more stories and many more memories, whatever they may be.
With so much gratitude, my best wishes, and the warmest regards,
DL x Schitt’s Creek

This. Love you, mom.
A moment of appreciation for this look that took us a solid month to figure out. I found the McQueen dress on consignment. The Botticelli hair came to me in a dream and @ana_sorys ran with the idea and created yet another iconic Moira wig/hair band. Our incredible wardrobe department (spearheaded by the great Debra Hanson) made the hat and assembled the look: some over the top costume jewelry, gold gloves, and matching gold Tom Ford knee high boots. @luckymakeup did wonders with the glowy, ethereal makeup. This is what I love about making TV. The teamwork. This look is a love letter to all of the incredible art departments that worked tirelessly alongside each other to bring our ideas to life in the most inspiring ways week after week, episode after episode. What a team. And what a send-off. x
Happy Birthday, fake husband! Everyone celebrate @olreid’s birthday by downloading his beautiful new album which is OUT TODAY! A gift for us all! Proud of you, friend. x
Find me a better engagement photo. @schittscreek
Thank you @entertainmentweekly for choosing to celebrate this relationship over three different covers. I would have been very comforted by these images as a kid. Surreal that I got to be a part of it. ❤️

What a way to end this thing. Thank you, @variety, for putting a bunch of Canadians on your cover. Who’d have guessed? 🥺
Started the show on April 7th. Ended the show on April 7th. Had no idea how many dreams would come true. #schittsfinale
Here’s to all the people who woke up thinking it was Monday! 🍻
(and a surprise guest) were asked by Barack and Michelle Obama’s Dear Class of 2020 to honor the teachers who are helping to inspire this next generation of students. We recorded this days later. For the teachers. x

Happy Birthday, my dearest Julie. I just love ya. Remember hugs? x Tokyo, Japan
Just a heads up that the series finale will air at 8pm so that we can follow it with this incredible documentary on the making of our last season. It was made my my good friend/tv genius @amyjuliasegal and it’s very special. See you all at 8PM on Tuesday night for a good ol’ cry.
I only wish this beautiful illustrated opening spread for @entertainmentweekly was real life. What I would give to be embraced by John Waters while standing in front of Marlene Dietrich while also managing to pull off a turtle neck IRL! Illustration by @jackmrhughes. 🌈✨

To counter racist socialization and racial bias, experts recommend acknowledging and naming race and racism with children as early and as often as possible. Children’s books are one of the most practical tools for initiating these critical conversations, and can also be used to model what it means to resist and dismantle oppression.
Beyond addressing issues of race and racism, this children’s reading list focuses on taking action. It highlights resistance, resilience, and activism; and seeks to empower youth to participate in the ongoing movement for racial justice. Children not only need to know what individual, institutional, and internalized racism looks like, they need to know what they can do about it.
These books showcase the many ways people of all ages and races have worked to disrupt racism, and highlight how race intersects with other issues, such as capitalism, class, colorism, and colonization. The majority of books center BIPOC, whose lives and bodies have been on the front lines of racial justice work, yet whose stories often go untold. The essential work of white activists is also included — to underscore that anti-racist work is not the responsibility of BIPOC; and exemplify the ways white people have stood up against racial injustice.
We just updated this book list with 41 titles (including recent releases) and it is published to our Patreon page. Patreon is where we post all of our critically-curated book lists. We also did a recent one on 49 children’s books that push back against racist socialization around Black males and our recommended board books for ages 0-3. Our next one is on Black girls. All books can be accessed at the $5 book club tier (or $1 if you are low-Income). Patreon is a platform that enables us to be compensated for our education work and labor. Joining our community there includes increased access to tools and resources that support anti-racist action, racial identity development, and critical consciousness for families, parents, and educators. By joining, you are also making a larger statement about the necessity to center and compensate Black and Brown voices when discussing issues of race.
Forever in your debt for documenting this, @ronanfarrow!

In honor of Canada’s relatively low coronavirus rate and high availability of testing here is a video @iamsandraohinsta asked me record of her and @instadanjlevy bowing down to noted fellow Canadian Joni Mitchell on both sides, now. You’re welcome for this literally perfect piece of content.
