Local tattoo shop doing a fundraiser for the county library means I have another new tattoo and also two new holes in my ears. What a good day.

Also, insiders allege, brunch and thrifting later on.

i dunno, man, i know people have got complaints about time changes, hell i have complaints about them, but i'd much rather have my (theoretical) small children walk to school in daylight, thank you.

Something I forget a lot is that I am allowed to buy the little dollar store craft kits to do myself. When I remember that I can do this, I always end up having a really nice time doing a little craft. Today, I am making little Halloween decorations.

HIV is no longer a death sentence.

Brussell sprouts taste better now!

On the one hand, i hate that someone had enough money to buy a waterfall and build a house on top of it. On the other hand, Fallingwater is fucking gorgeous.

do men understand the extent to which women are ready to burn it all down right now

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Huge big changes at work this week. Got me feeling like we should all just take the rest of today off and come back fresh on Monday.

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.
