Me: (finishes watching Jack Reacher) ...Jack Reacher is kind of a sociopath, huh? Me: (two seconds later) Oh, it's a Western, it was so obvious

Quite a few female writers might benefit from an editor telling them to write a manifesto and not a memoir.

That is why I believe a National Canoe and Paddle Program is absolutely critical to Indigenous youth. I believe this is also why the Truth and Reconciliation Commission made this national program the secret 95th Call to Action.

(i’m glad to see that i haven’t been so desensitized by the trump administration that i can still have a reaction to the dumb shit our own PM says.)

This rules.

An honorable human relationship — that is, one in which two people have the right to use the word “love” — is a process, delicate, violent, often terrifying to both persons involved, a process of refining the truths they can tell each other. It is important to do this because it breaks down human self-delusion and isolation. It is important to do this because in doing so we do justice to our own complexity. It is important to do this because we can count on so few people to go that hard way with us. It isn’t that to have an honorable relationship with you, I have to understand everything, or tell you everything at once, or that I can know, beforehand, everything I need to tell you. It means that most of the time I am eager, longing for the possibility of telling you. That these possibilities may seem frightening, but not destructive, to me. That I feel strong enough to hear your tentative and groping words. That we both know we are trying, all the time, to extend the possibilities of truth between us. The possibility of life between us.

Adrienne Rich, from On Lies, Secrets & Silence (via jolinxo)
