She’s right tho. 

I feel you might need to be a certain age to appreciate this comment.

I’m with Dionne - I don’t get the whole “Beyonce” thing either. 

You’d think one of her psychic friends could have told her how that sort of comment would go over...

You all do such amazing, heartwarming work at that shelter. I can tell you adore them all :) 

Shelter Cat Update!

I’m Canadian, so American celebrities are ubiquitous. The one ad that gets me most, though, is Jon Hamm schilling for “Skip the Dishes,” a food delivery app. In one, he claims to be Canadian and another guy in the ad reminds him that he’s not. Very odd.

Try to remember that it wouldn’t have been great, specifically because he doesn’t have a spine. Someone who was going to let that be the end of your relationship would never have given you the life you deserve- you deserve someone who would defend you.

Miriam Toews is my absolute favourite author of all time! It gives me so many feels to see her on Jezebel. A Complicated Kindness is most likely my ultimate favourite book of all time and All My Puny Sorrows is beautiful (although it is all about suicide, so trigger warnings there). I read Women Talking when it came…

A woman not affiliated with my work place called because her mother is dying and she needed some help with practicalities. She kept apologizing too. I told her she had nothing to apologize for, with me she could feel all her feelings and it was a safe space. She started to cry, said it was the first time she had, and…

Rough week, wanted to share my experience of something that happened that really frustrated me. Spending the evening cuddling with my pup to forget about it.

Confession time. I’m a Washington Post and Slate troll, but not that kind. I look at it like this: these guys don’t care and/or don’t want to hear facts, figures, arguments, etc. There’s no mind changing. So I have a little fun instead.

All that bus travel must be taking a toll on them physically and emotionally.

Thank you so much. This means more to me than you know.

I can post anything here, right? Not sure, I haven’t posted on this type of thread before.

Wanted to drop in and tell everyone thank you. I’ve had a tough year-ish, and took a break from Jez while I floundered, but when I came back it was like walking into a hug. All of you are amazing. All of you deserve amazing things.

my cats are jean-ralphio and mona lisa, usually shortened to ralphie and mona. THEY’RE PERFECT EVEN IF THEY AREN’T ON YOUR LIST. 

Here's my go-to.
