Welcome Aboard the Good Ship Misandry

I mourn for the loss Of another vibrant spirit Lost to the gray world - - Too weary to carry on Guilty for weariness I could do so much more Weariness is my crime and punishment And yet, I have hope for the Bud who will blossom Once the spring does come Bursting into colour Under the late rising Forgiving sun - To Miranda; Always remember.

The Problem with Passengers is Everything, but Mostly its Lack of Lesbians

The Problem with Passengers is Everything, but Mostly its Lack of Lesbians

Yesterday I willingly yielded an hour of my life to watch everything I dreaded about the film Passengers come true; I wished desperately for these tropes and clichés to be put back to sleep in pods, and lie dormant for another 90 years. But alas, just like the perfect (creepily related-looking) white people in the film, these tired narratives were doomed to live once again on the screen.

Thankful…

Trump will try to make the Dakota Access Pipeline a reality with his authoritarian machinations, putting the Standing Rock Sioux and activists involved in incredible danger over the next few months. It’s time to implement something I’ve been mulling over for months – closing my account with the Royal Bank of Canada, one of the banks responsible for financing the pipeline.

Take that, Capitalism!…

5 Things to do if you’re dumped right after the election 1. Sigh constantly and have your coworkers guess the reason "Okay, a hint: was I thinking of all the good times we shared, or of Mike Pence's history of supporting discriminatory and dangerous anti-LGBT policies?"

Not So Fast, Canada

Slow down on that Canada-worship, folks

It’s the hangover after the night of blackout debaucheries that was the American election. And every Canadian on my newsfeed is, while resisting the urge to vomit, expressing relief that we live in Canada. The world is also remembering Canada and our peaceful legacy; The Canadian immigration website is reported to have crashed from overwhelming traffic, reinforcing a narrative that’s been passed…

The Walking Dead review you didn't ask for (replete with spoilers)

The Walking Dead review you didn’t ask for (replete with spoilers)

There are so many problems with this idiot show. For the record, I don’t even watch the Walking Dead; I sat in on the occasional episode while my parents and sister binge-watched all the previous 6 seasons. And despite this, like the asshole I am, I obviously know everything I need to know about the show to write a pretentious and cynical review of Season 7 Episode 1.

I left to write this review…

'Beneficial Violation': Professors on Education

‘Beneficial Violation’: Professors on Education

Part 1/90000 of a series of frustrated aphorisms on free speech in academia, the rights and entitlement of students vs. professors, etc.

There’s a common theme to the opinions expressed by actual professors on the subject of trigger warnings. It’s the notion that job of education is to provide a kind of beneficial violation, one that will shake up the student from their old modes of thinking,…

Some musings on gun control

What does it mean to claim the right to have and do whatever you want?

It’s been awhile since the last mass shooting in the U.S.–hey it’s actually been a month! neat–which means that the issue has faded from the forefront of a lot of minds. How sickening that a month free of mass shoo–

–oops, that’s the list of SCHOOL shootings. There have already been 5 mass-shootings in September, and we’re like one week in. (If you want to really hate the U.S. look at how fucking…

did some further requisite research, found their website and discussion of the medicine bottle project, it sounds here like they’ve had a fantastic response already but will ‘probably never get enough’ so keep sending them! i know i’m really thrilled to find this– there are few things i hate more than chucking 4 empty medicine bottles a month when they could have further use. and here’s an option!

Oh what? Adam Sandler and Hollywood productions are in fact racist?

No surprise there. Still disgusting.

The journal Nature is out with a one-two punch of studies that carry bad news for our besieged bee populations. The first finds strong evidence that the class of insecticides long suspected to be harming the pollinators is indeed affecting the growth and reproductive abilities of wild bees. And the second finds that bees are getting hooked on the chemicals, and actively seeking them out.

New studies strengthen our understanding of neonicotinoids’ harmful impact on bees
