I don’t mind you asking. So overall for me it has been a great move. However, some of that was luck and a lot of that was circumstances. I started out working in daily papers, and if I had stayed there I think I’d still be a journalist. Then I moved a couple times and ended up at a truly miserable job with a B2B…

YESSSSSSS - This is so perfect. * Right click - save * Save myself some typing next time this comes up.

I had this conversation pretty recently on Facebook:
Friend: “No it’s equality for everyone.”
Me: “Well, yes, that is the goal. But some groups so consistently experience prejudice and extra challenges that they need and deserve a unified, global movement to address it. That’s why we need to specifically talk about…

Yay! Wine drinkers unite! Did you also pick “do” Dennis Quaid? Because I have mixed feelings about my decision.

I think this is probably someone saying “Why would I pay someone for social media? Any idiot can use Facebook!”

Haha, to be fair as long as it isn’t coming from my company/industry I also love this shit. I can show my boss and say “This is why you pay me.”

As a former journalist turned marketer, who works closely with a PR team, I think this all. the. time.

For anyone curious about how many of the “rules” of pregnancy really matter, my pregnant friend recommends the book Expect Better. It’s an economist analyzing the available data and studies to determine the risk factors and make better data driven decisions. Occasional alcohol got the okay, as did raw fish, soft…

I was saying this to a friend last night - the Roman Catholic Church is one of the slowest moving/changing organizations in the world. On the human rights front they are barely pulling themselves out of the 1800s. If this practically anti-deluvian organization thinks that YOU are behind the times then holy shit, time…

Yeah - moving can be a bitch for names. I went to school with a lot of kids who moved from Taiwan and Korea who all picked their English names. Then in high school some of them decided that maybe all these white people could just fucking learn to pronounce their name. Although I think the girl named Chi-Ting…

That explains why I haven’t seen any signs etc about it. I embody the Toronto paradox in that I love seeing my city on screen, but I hate how film shoots disrupt my day.

Wait... is this whole series filmed in Toronto? I see our subways and Nathan Phillips Square...

My 21st birthday party was in Juliet’s family house, where they also filmed parts of the movie. It’s now the University Staff Club so they had to carefully frame all the shots to avoid showing the fully stocked bar!

I used a travel agent for my most recent trip because I had multiple stops and couldn’t fly direct and just wanted someone to actually talk to about my options. I think that for flights for two people it cost maybe $50 more than it would have been if I was booking online myself. On a $2000 trip, an extra $50 is not a…

Your story reminded me that this happened to me! Only the waitress had stuck around after her shift, got really drunk, then made one of the bartenders awkwardly tuck a piece of paper with her number on it into my boyfriend’s hand. It was hilarious.

This was my reaction - I love Orphan Black so much but I was like “No this is right. This is better.” Although then my boyfriend said something stupid and I had to kind of have a teaching moment... But I’ve been on the receiving end of enough teaching moments to know it’s not so much about the stupid comment and more…

“You can’t do both!” = “My brain cannot conceive complex ideas like space and time.”

I agree. Three is a totally acceptable number of cats. Four is borderline. Five+ is too many. I don’t know why all these other people are trying to argue with science.

You and I have very different ideal lives, I think...

Five cats is too many cats. I’m a cat person and even I know that.
