Yes!! I also love that song. And I laugh every time at that line because when we first listened to it together my 13 year old daughter looked at me and said, “that is so not you.” hahahaha

The linked article says less than 2% of the population request an exemption. Not sure how that compares to the US.

Well, they don’t in Ontario, but I get your point.

FASCINATING. I had no idea. We have a St. Brigid’s cross in our home, which we bought on a trip Ireland as it was said to “protect a home from hunger or want.” The ability to govern one’s own reproductive choices also contribute to being able to protect one’s home from hunger or want.

Ummmm, are you saying her grandmother should not have gotten her medical care when she found her passed out having been apparently attacked?

You can totally watch House of Cards from Canada, don’t worry. We have the original version on Netflix as well because we’re bilingual like that.

I read your comment and I was like, whaaaat the hell? Where the hell did you get that? Then the penny dropped.

Perhaps it’s that Master is a gendered term as well so it gets the double whammy.

I was at a funeral for a man who was an abusive drunk. I was really touched by how his family eulogized him. They found happy memories to relate but also they were very clear that he was a complex and difficult person and that they were glad he is now at peace. It just seemed more respectful of him as a fully…

In this thread, I have found my people.

Our bulldog, Clyde, was afraid of nothing but the vacuum cleaner and cameras.
