I find it annoying when people make sweeping statements about what “feminism” did, as if it’s a single person. It very much depends on perspective. The ‘not like other girls’ phenomenon was a big thing when I was growing up in the 80s, and it wasn’t new then. There was a lot of gross public shit in the nineties, like…

Ugh Geraldo is so gross, I’m sure he did this kind of shit daily. Someone should have bricked up Al Capone’s vault while he was still in it.

As a very proud Canadian, I can tell you this. Not everyone is 100% behind Trudeau. But at times like this, when I see him taking steps that *nobody* has ever bothered to take before? Well, I can get behind that.

The CBC had a piece on the radio about the residential school apology which included one on one apologies to individuals. I was legit ugly crying on my drive home. Trudeau is not perfect and could do better in some areas but these apologies/settlements are definitely a step in the right direction.

Good and meaningful gesture, and Canada should keep doing things like this. We can always do better, though.

When she was born, voting rights for women were brand new. Do you really think you won’t have outdated social views if you reach 92?

No. There is no case that deserves the death penalty because actions don’t happen in a vacuum. Using the death penalty on that guy will inevitably result in using it on an innocent at some point, especially with how fucked up forensic science is.

Yay for your burpday! :D

They could just get Oscar to do it.

Diane didn’t even get any attention from Let’s Run(though I think everyone’s pre-occupied with Shalane’s win) so I am very impressed/pleased that she’s getting some press here!

Hear, hear. I hope she gets the chance to explain to the young people of her village what it takes to make it in the world.

Love this story! Wish I had the balls to follow my gut at 16.

Great story. As a much slower woman who runs, I love hearing about women like her.

Nukuri is awesome! What a great read.

Thank you so much for this story.

This was a great fucking read. She is an inspiration to people everywhere

Corey Haim’s face in that photo above is breaking my heart. Rest in peace, Corey. (And I hope Corey Feldman finds some peace in life too.)

Today we are all Oscar.

I have zero! Zero fucks to give! Ah ha ha! *thunder and lightning*

Hey Jezzies!
