Pull up your big girl socks. Our people (I’m Native American, you’re an immigrant) have dealt with much much worse. You’re here & I’m here bc our ancestors dealt with genocide, smallpox epidemics, violence, rape, and severe prejudice. The least we can do is pull it together and fight this bullshit.

No, he’s going to settle down with a decent Toronto girl.

I remember the first Beaches. I was out of town visiting a friend, so she got together all of her friends to come over to hang out. I was on a date with Craig Tall Motherfucker. The girls picked up Beaches as our basement hangout movie.

Hey, Shoppers Drug Mart practically has a full grocery, these days! We too can buy cheese at the drugstore if we want.

I live in a town of 13,000 people on the prairie. We just got a Shoppers Drug Mart fairly recently. I’ve been in maybe twice, for skin care stuff. I’ll have to look and see if there’s cheese :)

Shoppers Drug Mart sells cheese. Or at least mine does.

I am a sales director and I lead a team of about 100 people. One of the things that I am proud of is that I have helped two women who work for me leave abusive spouses. I have strategized, supported, and done everything I could to not only say I believe you but put the full weight of my authority into making it…

Resilience is the key to surviving abuse. How does one create resilience?

I have family members saying the same thing. Fidel betrayed the people and later, manipulated VZLA, and now look at Caracas. His regime never could provide decent food, but never skimped on PR.

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world

I’m curious about this too. I wonder if they might cling to him because if they dropped him, well, what would they have? The rest of us are so fucking furious at them, and part of them would have to realize we have every right to feel that way.

I keep this version by Steven Page tucked away for when I need a really good cry. This was performed at the funeral of Jack Layton (a Canadian politician), and I thought I’d read somewhere that the reason why it was selected for the funeral was because k.d lang’s version was playing when he passed away at home from…

I can’t watch this yet. I haven’t broken down and cried yet. I gave myself part of Wednesday to feel gutted and numb, and then I doubled down on every activist group I’m a part of. Transferred my monthly Hillary donations to PP. Lined up my trip for the Women’s March, held my gay best friend in my arms while he sobbed…

She did a version at the Olympics in Vancouver you’d enjoy too. It’s hard to pick a favorite favorite version. It’s a beautiful song, and there are many great covers.

My favorite version is K.D. Lang’s.

The FBI says it’s lower than even 10%, but what do they know? lol

I’ve watched people try and claim that the Clinton Foundation is a bad charity because it “only” uses 90%+ of its funds for charitable work and retains 10% ish for administrative stuff. Nevermind that 90%+ is amazing and beats the hell out of the vast majority of nonprofits out there. Apparently, it should be 100%.…

You know what’s amazing?

I guarantee you that every single time there is an attack, every single peaceful Muslim the world over says, “please, not a Muslim.” Because it’s the actions of these few that end up not just falling back on them and their families, but radicalizing their children because of that fallback, who then complete the cycle…
