You know the trope about being so high you can momentarily ‘know’ the secrets of the universe? I sometimes wonder if personality disorders are like that, for self-perceived intelligence. And if that goes with the other trait, the belief that all others are somehow stupid.

I had a boyfriend years ago who worked in group homes for young offenders. There were numerous ‘teens’ suspected of being full-grown adults, who preferred the relatively consequence-free and more supported lifestyle of a minor in Canada. Mostly from Somalia, as were many refugees at the time, and their ages were often…

LOL Frida don’t know from goats.

I have lived in Quebec for twenty years now. I work in Ottawa, across the river. My licence plate gives me a sort of literal street cred. But I have also learned to drive fucking fearlessly because Quebec. The roads are INSANE here. And I will not drive in Montreal, full stop. There is an off-ramp on the left on one…

That's where I'd put it. Narcissists should be culled.

If Houdini and Doyle is filmed in Canada, this is super excellent way to dip into the otherwise un-reusable Murdoch Mysteries wardrobe room. Go Canada!

Ok, the paragraph preceding the actual quaote was SO gold that I read it out loud to my colleagues this morning. Oh, and I skipped reading Sarah’s word salad altogether. Erin, top drawer. Really.

I think the thing here is, you don't decide when you are a regular, THEY do... All of the stories referencing self-described 'regulars' remind me of people who give themselves nicknames. When their friends find out, every unique nickname always seems to be pronounced 'douche'.

Thank you for a well-articulated response to a dynamic which has irritated me for a decade. It isn’t magic, it is education, talent, experience and daily curiosity and learning how to improve my profession that makes a great product. I am a Visual Communications Specialist. It's not a cauldron, people.

This is a totally legit argument in Canada.

So... I'm guessing this guy knows to never ever ever talk back to a cop, otherwise he'll get shot and it will be HIS OWN FAULT. Right??

I used this for writing my first novel. Invaluable.

I'm in the middle of a difficult divorce, so, yeah. I get this. I find what helps is to do the Scarlett O'Hara thing... Tomorrow is another day. One thing to remember is that although your emotional resources are completely taxed, your physical resources are about the same... Mindfulness, though a rage-inducing word,…

You know what? As a recently divorcing female victim of male emotional abuse, I stand by male victims of female emotional abuse. Abuse is wrong. Period. Male or female, I stand by you brothers and sisters who have had it happen to you. That having been said, often the comments blaring the 'what about the Menz!' lines…

Greatest fear of men: that women will laugh at them. Greatest fear of women: that one of them will kill you. That's fucked up.

"Not the 'craw', the 'CRAW'!!"

Oh, I don't know. Seria is a lovely font. If you don't like it, you can just not use it. I don't think a war on it is really necessary. It is a little 'nineties', though, i suppose...

You know what eased my mind when i was 31 and my boyfriend noticed I still had zits? He reassured me that as far as he knew, that only meant that I was still young and smack in the middle of my prime fertility years. Thirteen years later, we have a beautiful ten year old daughter, and four years ago, I stopped getting…
