✌️not here anymore!
- my parents bought their house in 1976 for $58,000. in 2022 dollars, that would be $279,160. their 2022 assessment valued the house at $2.09 million. i don't think getting married at 34 instead of 24 is the reason my generation can't buy homes. thanks for coming to my ted talk.
- I do not want to encourage my daughter to fixate on her appearance, but I do love when she dresses herself in the most chaotic outfit (strawberry dress, purple tutu, seagull leggings, bunny socks under rainbow sandals), then looks in the mirror and whispers “I look perfect.”
- the backlash against Chappell Roan for saying “fine, I’ll vote for the Democratic Party, but I don’t like them” is so bizarre as a Canadian because it’s understood here that everyone votes begrudgingly for whomever they hate least in order to defeat someone worse
- shout out to the man who catcalled me from his truck as he drove up from behind and then caught a side view and yelled “oh my god, I’m sorry!” as he sped past. making the most of this fleeting opportunity to dress like a jump scare for sexual harassers.
- what's the worst land acknowledgement you've ever seen? i don't know that anything will ever top this:
- very tiresome when people co-opt the language of social justice ("bike lanes are ablest," "being anti-fast fashion is classist") to defend their preferences, as if all of their personal behaviours and habits are actually political acts of solidarity.
- happy for the cbc editor who finally got to deploy this reference after waiting 26 years
- someone posted about how dads in her son’s class offloaded domestic labour to their wives without thinking about it, and guys are defending it with everything from “men can’t read” to “men have no memories” to “it could lead to an affair.” incredible!!!
- god himself could not make a violin so tinyJust over 80% of new condo investors in Toronto are losing money on their rentals theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
- just another day thinking about my all-time favourite Demented Depiction of Journalism in a Romantic Comedy— which is a very crowded field, folks
- my personal theory for why it's impossible for hollywood to make a plausible period piece for TV/film in 2023 is cosmetic dentistry. these fake teeth simply did not exist in the 70s.
