Also, Leonard Cohen died and I don’t know how to live in a world he doesn’t live in. Fuck 2016. Fuck it forever.

Okay, for a bare moment I was the first person to SNS and it scared the shite out of me. I’m new to this, been reading for a couple of years but new to posting. I saw how much support was given freely and wanted to be a part of that. Also, I found Jez soon after moving abroad and it was lovely to read messages from…

There are all sorts of ways to be a mother. My own mother wasn’t maternal, she wasn’t comforting, and she was often distant. But she also taught me how to be a strong, confident woman who has faith in her own ability to overcome anything. She taught me how to be vulnerable and put one foot in front of the other. …

I would have agreed except for the reference to Walter Scott. If that is sarcasm, thats poor sport.

Guys, stop. Trolls gonna be trollin’.

All of those benefits that early risers report (increased productivity, less reliance on stimulants, decreased reporting of depression) could actually be the result of having a work-day cycle that is structured to your chronotype.

Without getting into an argument about what constitutes Science (which I think forensic scientists would argue this type of physical investigation does) I’d just say that this sounds like a case of Equifinality, where two (or more) different agents produce the same outcome - various normal activities (like horseback…

Oy, with the poodles already!

This kind of thing happens in Science (big S intended) all the time. I wouldn’t blame the doctor. It’s great that she came forward to admit her mistake in the first place. All Science is progressive and cumulative, and when it’s used in a court of law that can be both a benefit and a detriment.

As a Canadian expat living in small town Germany I can tell you that, yes, many people here felt the same as we do now. I’ve been hearing stories of the past from German colleagues and neighbours all week, and most of them express the same sort of disgust and terror that all North American’s are feeling now.

Same.

And now we know the election process isn’t rigged! Good News!

I imagine this is what the people of Whoville must have felt when the Grinch stole their Christmas.

Thanks, Dodie. I just sent an email report as the photos are STILL popping up, in this comment thread now.

YESS!

As the wife of aforementioned Mr. Alec Hardy and the very, very, very secret lover of Sir Patrick Stewart (even he doesn’t know about me!) I feel I should have a lead on this.

Everything about this movie was perfect to my pre-teen brain. It was high-brow literature mixed with MTV music and colours, and I had just seen Leo in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape so I was convinced he was the greatest actor of my generation.

I’ve been told a number of times I’m selfish, or delusional, for not wanting kids. As a Canadian, I’m actually saving the tax payers a ton by not giving birth in our socialised health care system, by not taking all the tax breaks that parents get, and by (hopefully) building a career that results in me finally…

When I was 16 I asked my mom to drive me, my boyfriend, and a couple of friends into the city (Toronto) so we could go shopping. We were really going to the first ever marijuana march. My friends agreed to meet at my boyfriends place where my mum would pick everyone up. Little did I know, they all planned to…

I feel you, carne. I moved to a new country two years ago where I knew absolutely no one and couldn’t speak the language (luckily most people in my town speak English). It’s hard, especially for introverted 30-somethings like myself, and it will take some time but you will make new friends. What’s even better is…
