Shaking my fucking head SO HARD at that one.

Likewise as a Canadian I learned about the holocaust in the most graphic detail, but heard hardly a word about residential schools despite being on first nations territory. Not trying to qualify one or the other, obviously, but clearly there’s a preference across north America to discuss certain events over other…

SHRIEKING

Best menu item I ever saw: “the kitchen politely declines substitutions”.

I’m sorry but if your obsession with shitty flavoured coffee drinks runs so deep that you feel it worthwhile to concoct this kind of elaborate scheme, you need to seriously seek help. We all go to Starbucks, whether we want to or we don’t have another choice, but it ISN’T GOOD. A cup full of heavy cream and liquefied…

Whoops I just reread that and it comes off wrong... What I mean is that a cash card is better than any possible wrapped gift

I resolve that NO gift is better than a card with cash in it.

If everyone can handle writing that cheque then omfg this is utterly brilliant.

I also had a forced bridal shower that I HATED and had to take time off work for. By the time I got pregnant, I was mad enough in general to flat-out forbid anyone from throwing a baby shower. Instead we ended up having what my mom called a “baby party”, about two months after my son was born, everyone came over and…

I think you’re both right. I try to suck it up when I know I’ll be hurting someone by not attending (and when I can sense my irritation turning into self righteousness), but I also think there’s something to be said about not forcing yourself to go to some silly party you don’t have to attend. Because, adulthood.

what in the fuck

omg just the memory is bringing tears to my eyes. fuuuuuuuck

I was wondering a lot about that. The program description is kind of vague, I’m not sure if it’s directed towards people who are already employed in the industry or towards people who are totally green (no pun intended). When you consider the sheer size and complexity of the major growers in Western Canada, it seems…

Gaaahhhh I knew that’s what would happen! FFS

That’s what I did, seriously the last thing you want is to be fielding questions via text, or god forbid, Facebook statuses by others regarding YOUR labour. Sigh.

I am not a “nurturing” person in the sense that I don’t wish to look after people, and in that sense I’ve struggled with being a mom. This condescending schmuck is a great example of the mother’s reality—we don’t have a choice but to “do it”, regardless of whether it’s boring or interesting or trying or exhausting or…

Yeah I’m with you here. Birth photography is not my personal interest but I think if you’re someone who likes to document things and have a desire to look good in that documentation, a photographers job is basically to find beauty. A good one will give you photos more beautiful (IMO) than any amount of makeup or blow…

Yep this is a fucking great photo.

My mother in law barged in, Canon blazing. First thing she did was take a photo with flash on in my baby’s face. In other words, do not allow non commissioned cameras in there.

Agreed. I would add Jeff Hanneman to that list, just deaths that were a fucking tragic loss of such incredible talent.
