so I don’t normally do this…
but my pal Emma is in the Top 40 for the next MuchMusic VJ search. She needs to be in the top 20 to make it on the bus and get back to Toronto! She’s currently living in Inuvik, NWT and it would be so rad to get her on tv!
You can rate/vote for her right here:

Happy 80th, Michael Caine!
LIFE celebrates the man’s career with a series of previously unpublished photos from 1966, made by LIFE’s Bill Ray. Ray remembers that Caine “seemed to be a magnet, without ever lifting a finger. And that was another part of the laid-back thing. He seemed to have perfected a way to make things look easy, and so things became easy. See the photos here.

Seanan's Tumblr: dul-cin-ea: On the weekend, over brunch, my friends and I had a long...
On the weekend, over brunch, my friends and I had a long discussion about the way women are conditioned to be polite to avoid discomfort or any type of aggressive behaviour. We all had stories about times where we had stood up to, or been assertive with strangers who were acting…
Read this. Especially if you are a guy.
I have shared stories to male friends on countless occasions about how someone has harassed me or made me feel uncomfortable and they tend to always say some variant of - “I thought you were a feminist - why don’t you just stand up for yourself?”
This is maybe an extreme example, but gendered violence is fucking real, okay.
My friend Mariel wrote a comic about me (and my terrible adventure with dog sitting an anxious puppy)

Exactly.
Imagine a wall full of circular holes, that circles can keep walking in and out of with no difficulty.
Now imagine that the triangles manage to get the resources together, after years of not being able to fit through the circle’s holes, to drill a single triangle space into the wall.
Now imagine that the circle — who previously supported the triangle’s efforts because they are well-rounded (har) and value equality — comes along and sees the construction project. But instead of being happy, they get angry.
“Well, I won’t be able to fit through your hole!!!!” the circle cries.
“I helped you get the drill!!!!” the circle shrieks.
“Make it fit me too!!!!” the circle demands.
The triangles, barely holding it together enough to get a triangle hole together, stare at the circle in confusion.
“You have all the holes you need,” the triangles explain. “This is for us. You don’t need to fit through our hole, too.”
“YOU’RE BEING UNEQUAL AND HURTING MY FEELINGS!” the circle wails. “I DON’T SUPPORT YOUR HOLE IF IT DOESN’T FIT ME TOO. GIVE ME MY DRILL BACK.”
“It’s not your drill, it’s our drill. You helped us get it, because you said you cared.”
“I ONLY CARED WHEN I THOUGHT YOU’D MAKE A HOLE EVERYONE COULD FIT THROUGH. YOU’RE PERPETUATING INEQUALITY!!!”
“Why is it up to us, the small group that has never been able to fit through the wall at all, to make a hole everyone can use? Why isn’t it up to you, the people who have been able to cross back and forth at will for years? We just want to see the other side; why are you yelling at us?”
“I DIDN’T ASK TO BE BORN A CIRCLE, OMG. I’VE HAD TO WORK HARD ALL MY LIFE TOO. YOU’RE JUST BEING BIGOTED AGAINST ME BECAUSE OF SOMETHING I CAN’T CONTROL, JUST LIKE EVERYONE IS AGAINST YOU.”
“You are interfering with our project and asking us to comfort you while we’re trying to make progress. Please leave.”
“I’m going to tell everyone about this,” the circle warns. “Nobody will support you now.”
“Apparently nobody ever did,” the triangles sigh, getting back to work.

The NYPD will arrest you for carrying condoms, but that depends entirely on who you are. If you’re a middle-class white girl like me, you’re probably safe. But say you’re a sex worker or a queer kid kicked out of your home. Say you’re a trans woman out for dinner with your boyfriend. Maybe you’ve been arrested as a sex worker before. Maybe some quota-filling cop thinks you look like a whore.
Then you’re not safe at all.

March 3rd is Dyscalculia Awareness Day! Spread the word about this learning disability that isn’t heard about a lot and has tons of stigma behind it. I am not bad at math because I am a girl, nor is math my “weak subject.” I have a true, serious learning disability that effects my entire life.
It took until I failed grade 10 math TWICE to figure out that I had this. Good job, school system. Good job.
