Thanks for linking! I watched the whole segment because I had some time to kill and I loved the guy who creates art out of abandoned houses. Awesome idea.

He should have just tweeted this video:

Go forth, culinary explorer, and continue to tell us of your discoveries!
The most adventurous some of us get is through our "never going to bake this but what the hell" Pinterest board.

Are you a culinary engineer?
I am genuinely impressed with this analysis!

Edit: Did not detect the sarcasm. Excuse me while I tip-toe out of this conversation undetected and mildly depressed that you are not a culinary engineer with a special focus on cookies. :(

Dog lover?

That glow just gave me butterflies.

I'm really happy you brought up criticism, because it's honestly my favourite part of the feminist movement. Feminism gets a lot of flack for in-fighting, but I think that these are complex issues we're dealing with here. I'm happy to hear people poke holes in the contradictions that need to be considered as long as…

This broke my heart. Props to Kim for taking the negativity her and her family have endured and using it to educate others.

Are we related? The only two accents I can do fairly well are Minnesota/The Dakotas and Chicago!

It helps that the Chicago one is very similar to upstate/western New York with the "MAM, I'M GOING TO PLAY SOME HACKEY. SARRY."

And I don't think a single day has passed in my apartment without me and my boyfriend having a…

I love everything about this.
I want to steal, "Oh for corn's sakes!"

As the Canadian upstairs neighbour to N.D., the culture in the rural areas Saskatchewan is identical. Super middle class, super modest about the things you have.

I now live a little outside of Toronto in the land of haves and have nots and I can't help but make a big show of rolling my eyes because gratuitous displays…

It's so fascinating to see the process of "overcompensating" that happens in some households when the men make less cash moneys than their wives.

My very ambitious sister has been working a cushy government job for several years and her hubby found great work in the early 2000's in tech repairing Xeroxes. But over the…

I can only speak from the straight female perspective. But for me personally, it's not necessarily about looks so much as the mannerisms. Like voice pitch, charisma, confidence. These are usually the things that become the deciding factor in attractive or not attractive for me. Most of the guys I've been interested in…

My Roman Catholic (but mostly non-practicing) mom used to get all "ewww" about it but she's softened with age. Now she asks me questions (because despite being straight, I'm young and progressive, so apparently I am the last word on all these things for her) about how gay families work, how the kids address their…

I grew up in the Catholic Church (attended Catholic school from K -Gr.5) In my experience, it was always sort of a topic that was tip-toed around.
Somewhat unrelated, but I do have a good story. At a wedding recently, the priest decided to freestyle for a bit and said that Catholics do not view love in the same way as…

Did anyone else get about halfway through this, immediately log in to their old Livejournal, privatize or delete 20 embarrassing entries, then return?

....Or is it just me?
I do nahht need my old text posts featuring Death Cab For Cutie lyrics in varying fonts and colours being collected as evidence for god knows…

Two points to make:
1. I watched Karen Straughan's speech at Ryerson on the stream because I was genuinely interested in the topic, which was how men need safe spaces to talk about their issues (particularly on campus.) This is logical, fair and a good point. Men should have safe spaces to talk about feeling pressure…

I definitely find her ability to not take herself too seriously to be her most endearing quality. I remember her on one of the late night shows recounting the time when Howard Stern watched a few episodes of Girls then said "Congrats to her. It's so hard for little fat chicks to get anything going these days." and she…

Self-portrait makes my narcissism feel artsy. Therefore I'll take it!
