Lupita Nyong’o is almost impossibly beautiful, and that most certainly includes her hair, but I think the shot was not a good fit for the original hairstyle. The shallow focus made her hair look oddly divorced from her head, like something hovering over her in the clouds. A better solution, to me, would have been to…

Kinda goes with his bit about how he got turned down after a date he thought went well because the woman had rape fantasies she’d expected him to pick up on. It was smart, because he positioned himself as someone with great respect for boundaries while going on about the insanity that someone would expect him to just…

His bit on the fact that he thought his daughter’s vagina smelled gross put me off him long ago. It’s one thing to commiserate with other parents about the general sucky parts or foibles of parenthood- diapers stink! kids say funny stuff! boys tend to pee in their parents eyes! but another to mock a specific trait of…

There are different kinds of privilege. You can have one and lack others. As cis women, you and I lack male privelege, but have cis privilege. Yes, there are disadvantages to having a female body. There are also disadvantages to having a body that doesn’t match your gender. Is this really that hard to grasp?

Psst...it’s her family in this one.

I can see an argument for recognizing that a product or service doesn’t appeal equally to the genders and trying to make it more accessible. I just don’t think they needed to market them as separate versions. Sure, add bricks in colours that girls tend to like. Bring on the sets that focus on whatever the Lego…

I don’t even know who’s kid it is, but for some reason the fact that it’s spelled “Pilot Inspektor” has lodged itself in my brain.

Fair enough. But that issue applies to any decision your government has to make about anything.

I am passionately pro-universal healthcare, but we DO have a problem.

...you realize that that also means we only have 35 million people paying into such a system vs your 318 million, yes? How, exactly, does a more spread-out population base make any of this easier for us than for you?

That might exist in some province, but it’s certainly not national.

I didn’t even like the Hip before the tour, and even I can’t disagree.

Oh, believe me, we haven’t forgotten. Every time I feel sad about anything at all, I remind myself that at least Harper is gone and instantly feel a little shiver of joy.

Canadian here. Tim Horton’s is fine at best and the fact that their patriotism marketing has succeeded is embarassing bullshit (they weren’t even Canadian-owned a lot of the time they were pushing it!). I never cared for the Hip musically, although they seem like good people.

Megan Follows forever!

I have no advice, but +1 on the username. I found a mysteriously abandoned copy of What Katy Did in our attic shortly after I’d learned to read, and it was a magical part of my childhood.

As a Canadian who feels unfathomably lucky to have been born here, I regret to inform you that we are still not some sort of magic utopia free from shitty, shitty systemic injustices and general assholes. It gets a hell of a lot worse than bras. But at least Harper’s gone, and I will never stop being happy about that…

I could believe Broaddrick’s account being accurate with Hillary having been under there was something consensual going on.

Long live the CBC.
