I know, I had the same thought initially. I always think of winter as starting in November or so. Working in retail in breaking me of it, a bit.

I suggest they keep their pie holes shut and worry about the atrocities in their backyard.

Some may find it trite, but I spent a few minutes this morning seeing if any black celebrities had been speaking out on Ferguson. I may be totally off, but given our current celebrity culture, I have to believe that certain athletes, rappers and actors carry as much weight as established civil rights leaders. And, if…

Interesting. You know what that makes me wonder? It makes me wonder why someone would bring their kids to a protest. Makes me wonder what kind of shit they've been through, how important this moment is, how significant it is for them to think their children should be a part of a peaceful protest HOURS before curfew.

I'm sure I don't have to explain that peaceful protesters do not have molotov cocktails (still disputed, btw) and that most of the looting has been done away from the protests until tonight. I'm sure I don't have to remind you that most members of these protests and the community were actively protecting said…

One would think that massive media coverage would make them rethink how their actions are perceived by the public and received by the community that are supposed to protect. Instead, it seems to fuel their abhorrent behavior.

And I get tired of white feminists telling women of colour that their concerns don't matter when it's for the "greater good".

Antonio French (who should win the Pulitzer Prize for Tweeting)

That's what frustrates me about him. I unfollowed him a while back, but his 'big and white' series of tweets was completely on point. And then he followed it up with that bullshit tweet above. BE CONSISTENT, DONALD.

This is how I found out what happened in Ferguson on Saturday. Sunday morning, I got an alert that multiple people I follow started following Antonio French, went to his feed and learned about Mike Brown. Been following since.

C'mon, son. Do you even lift see Brick?

God. I was hanging out along Queen nearby, taking pictures and observing, and seeing them roll up the way they did is one of the more terrifying experiences of my life.

You're missing the point, darling. This is about women being targeted with horrific shit because they're women. What you're describing is women not being condescended to and protected from horrific shit that men see or deal with.

That terminal is always shut down for unspecified delays. If you catch my drift.

In many ways I'm a slave to fashion, but I've been rocking birks for about ten years now, since I first started getting foot problems. Am I relieved they're now considered "in"? Yes. Will I stop wearing them when they go out of style? Never.

I was discussing with my brother the other week at a hip hop music fest: there are people who pull these things off effortlessly, and that's having style. But there are the people who don't, who combine too many and who wear them only because they're in fashion, and that's disastrous. If you're doing it right, none of…

Where do you live that this is possible!?

Moat Cailin Northbound is the biggest bottleneck of a station, ugh. Such a maze and so many people trying to get through such a narrow transfer, and you can't find a transit employee to save your life. It's a wonder anyone makes it through without the express assistance of station admin.

Based on how the writers are ranked, it seems unique new visitors is the key metric, which we can't influence. Though I suppose if enough of us regulars left they'd notice.

So... either you've got the busiest Facebook feed ever with all those friends, or you're trolling. Got it. Thanks for the lack of discussion.
