Not much to say about Trans Day of Remembrance anymore besides “try loving and celebrating us while we are alive”

In my mind I'm still hip to hip with my best friend swaying and singing along to Lionel Richie's All Night Long

I don't think you've experienced true joy if you haven't joined a gaggle of lesbians crashing the dance floor to ABBA's Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)

Thanks for the info Joey. Did they have any experts or anyone who knows more about gender-based violence there?

Looking forward to updates. Glad you're there!

Also thinking about how I had the same notepad as Harriet the Spy and wore red straight leg jeans to be just like her. I also carried a magnifying glass to school, in case I was needed to solve a case like Nancy Drew.

I didn't have a lot of friends, but I always had Nancy and Harriet. And Matilda.

Holding 7-year-old me in my heart today, as I reminisce about how I started a petition to change the name of my childhood street to "Britney Spears Crescent" and got 6 signatures - my family and my best friend.

People don't take the responsibility of driving seriously enough. The complete and total disregard for human life and the destruction that driving a vehicle while distracted can cause is astounding to me.

Where on earth do people have to go so urgently? What text is so important that it can't wait?

Hayley Williams' solo album continues to grow on me, but I still can’t seem to get into anything from Florence + The Machine’s latest release.

managed to track down a girl guide and got my mitts on four boxes of those delicious chocolate mint cookies. best time of the year!!!!

I'm laughing out loud at how bold this is!!

Close second is when "Portions for Foxes" by Rilo Kiley comes on and none of you have heard it in years, but you all know the words.

It's oatmeal.

Happiness is being in your 30s, riding shotgun with your best girlfriends, and scream-singing Sarah Harmer’s "Basement Apt." like you mean it, because you all lived it.

It reminds me a lot of when suddenly everyone hated Anne Hathaway for... being nice?

This happens to so many women. It's the internalization of being "too much," and it happens to so many women who don't abide by the patriarchal view that women should be quiet. I personally found her charming and endearing during that time - it makes me sad that this is the outcome.

why does no one think it's as funny as I do that Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are dating?

Part of you knew that pumpkin pie is delicious, and that part of you knows best. If not now, when? is my personal pumpkin pie philosophy.

when a woman says "i hate men", i think "oh no, a man did something horrible to her"

when a man says "i hate women", i think "oh no, he's going to do something horrible to a woman"

It’s ironic that the path to healing runs through self-compassion, because I seem to reserve all my kindness for everyone but me.

Really struggling with the idea of whether people actually “need” distractions right now.

Maybe the issue is that we’re too distracted.

SO many parents have an SUV when what they really need is a minivan. Why are you cramming three car seats/booster seats into one row? Are people expecting their kids to have no friends?

My wife and I (2 people) inherited a minivan years ago, and we STILL miss it since "upgrading"

would love to see Canadian men give up the NFL too. Not that we compare with the US audience, but it'd be something.

Perk of living at the very start (or end) of the GoTrain line: guaranteed seat. Downside: by the time I get where I’m going, it's been a decade. At least I’m seated, though.

Severance is about dissociation, yeah?

It's so sad that my wife will never know about "the obilary." She doesn't know the joy that I have.

fun fact: they're called love handles because lesbians love to handle them
