Selma Blair’s apology is lovely. I think you have a fourth point for your list.

This project couldn’t get more Canadian.

Road to Avonlea was half-funded by Disney, and the moneymen came down hard on Polley to try and mold her into one of their Standardized Disney Starlets (tm). Whereupon Polley told them to fuck right on off, weaseled her way out of her contract, and made a beeline for independent film.

OMG!!! Alias Grace movie and A Handmaid's Tale series on Hulu!!!! I've died and gone to Atwood heaven.

Is it okay to mention Ramona?

Have you ever seen The Sweet Hereafter? She’s amazing in it.

Margaret Atwood is the greatest author currently alive and Sarah Polley made “Take This Waltz,” which was practically a goddamn mirror to the end of my only real long-term relationship; yeah, I'm on board with this project.

This is AWESOME! Obviously, Atwood is incredible. And Sarah Polley has been killing it since she was just a little fresh-faced sunflower.

I love Sarah Polley. I love Margaret Atwood. I love this news.

If it’s not dangerous to remove the plug then why does that hole look so shocked?

“She also confessed to taking Viafore’s paddle away from him after his kayak capsized — Viafore was not wearing a life vest and was holding on to the paddle to stay afloat, DeQuarto said.”

WTF? There are so many exits along the relationship highway between “No, I will not have a threesome with your coworker” and “Murder”. Most of them lead to DTMFA, but a few lead to relationship counseling. She had options.

Seriously! Hands off Céline. Hell, here in Quebec she’s practically a religion. “The Church of Our Lady of the Chest Thump” or something like that.

Up to ten years, but criminal harassment, especially online, is a crime that has only recently started to be treated seriously in Canada. Look up Rehtaeh Parsons’ case to see how incompetent and/or dismissive our police have been until just now. Or, don’t, and have a more pleasant morning.

Or he sees this as just one more thing to blame her for. In his twisted logic, she’s making him do all of this to her. It’s all her fault. People like this often take no real responsibility for their actions or their own reactions.

You know who looks great naked? Any woman that’s chosen to be naked in the same room as me.

I know! They really sell this country as the land of freedom really well. I was discussing with two friends of mine, one Chinese mathematician, one Iranian PhD student how republicans have tried to silence climate change research, defunded gun violence research and now want to stop stem cell research and they were so…

I have been trying to read The New Jim Crow for maybe 8 months now. Every time I pick it up, I read about 10 pages, then I get so sad and discouraged with our system I have to put it down. It’s been a huge blow to the confidence I had in the US. After coming here from Mexico, I really thought it was a fair place, but…

If, by chance, you seek an excuse to spend the rest of your Sunday evening watching Empire Records and The Craft back-to-back, know that your pal Rachel has got you.

I’m turning 30 this year and I am really having the hankering to do that hear-on-the-sleeve symbolic hair-shaving gesture. I pissed a lot of men off this week simply by not giving them the time of day they wanted. I’m feeling stormy and punk-rock lately in general. I think 30 is the new 18. I don’t currrr - only this…
