KITCHENETTE 4 LYFE.

I’m using this story as a tool in my colllege classroom. We are discussing how hate and intolerance are perpetrated against others. My guess is an ignorant parent wrote that note and got their snot-noses mini Trump supporter to deliver it.

I’ve never cried over losing an election before. As a Jewish woman who uses birth control and has friends who have only just gotten marriage equality, I am crying because I’m legitimately scared. To death.

Sure, you can come. We can talk about hockey over a bowl of poutine :)

The federal government currently guarantees twelve weeks of unpaid maternity leave

Elusive. They eluded the cameras and evidence. If they’d alluded to them, they’d have hinted at them, which would be a dumb criminal thing to do.

At first I was impressed by how professionally this job seemed to be pulled off, but if you’re leaving gems in the street during your getaway, that’s bad form.

I haven’t lost a child. But I have a child, now a grown man, and still I worry about his well being every single day. And I have been to funerals of children. My heart is sore at their pain. Whether it’s the SIDS baby, or the child who overdosed, the pain is palpable. It’s easy enough to say at least they have…

As a long standing huge fan of the vulva, I’m glad to see it getting some credit, at last. Obviously, without the vagina, life would be meaningless and cold.

I like a Cola icee, nachos, and then eating junior mints on the way home.

I hate telling people what I do for a living for that exact reason. If I hear “must be fun to read all day” one more time....

I had an amazing and very tough HS English teacher who assigned 25 page research papers every year. I still remember the awesome librarian down at the central library who taught me (pre-Internet) how to refine my search topics, suggested books and explained how to use all the resources.

Back in the day when I was smart and went to school, I remember thinking, “I wonder if a librarian can help me on this project?”

I’m so so happy that they’re hiring an actual credentialed and experienced librarian, unlike the last clown to have the job.

This is such happy news!

One caveat to the generic vs name brand OTC drugs. While the active ingredient is identical between the two (Claritin(R) tablets and Equate(R) Loratadine tablets both contain 10 mg of loratadine at the standard dose), the inactive ingredients may be different, which can affect people with food allergies (Claritin used…
