Sunday Snippets: Yay Halloween!

The hubs and I went as mechanics. We also dressed up our fuzzy children. They were not as happy as I was.




Yup, there it is

Whoa

The Illusion of Simplicity

Just hope the organization store doesn’t decide to redesign their containers — you’ll have to start all over again with new ones if you want everything to match.

This isn’t the kind of possibility I was hoping for.

This isn’t freedom from stuff, this is hoarding disguised as simplicity.

Might need to sit down and watch The Knick now Also Clive Owen is forever on my list.

Facts that I didn't know

Such a classic

This actually does make a lot of sense

Let’s be honest. What he really wanted to say was “She was asking for it”.

An off-duty cop shot my brother inside a hospital. I want to know why.

Not Okay

Women can’t have it all – because the game is rigged

When commentators speak of women's 'work-life balance', they're not talking about how much time a woman will have, at the end of the day, to work on her memoirs, or travel the world. ‘Life', for women, is simply another word for work, a route-march through child-rearing and domestic labour which is assumed to be the ultimate destination of every woman’s passions. 'Life', for men, is meant to be bigger than that.

Canada, looking good

This is horrifying

You will be surprised to learn that our friend Larry has also argued that “Biblically speaking, there is no such thing as ‘marital rape.’” In a post titled “Christian Husbands — You don’t pay for the milk when you own the cow!” Solomon insists a wife’s “body does belong to her husband,” and that any requests for sex deferral should be made “humbly and gently.” After all, “sex is not about being in the mood, and it is not about feelings, it is about doing what is right.”

Sunday Snippets: Summertime

Almost the end of summer already. I'm glad for the warmth, and kinda wary about winter again.

How kick ass is this?

That’s precisely the situation facing San Francisco’s estimated 6,436 homeless residents, who currently have just seven places in the city where they can shower.

Motivated by the belief that everyone has the right to be clean, Doniece Sandoval founded LavaMae, a non-profit with an innovative idea: take old, unused city buses and retrofit them with fully functioning showers for homeless people to use. Last weekend, LavaMae, a play on the Spanish word for “wash me,” launched its first mobile bus.

The truth right here

My cat would be doing the same thing

Nope, no racism here  Disgusting. Marissa Alexander is still being denied justice.

Watch this and try not to smile

How beautiful is this view? Or this one?

Stupid AP for your victim blaming. Ugh

Absolutely disgusting My heart goes out to the families.

Their names and lives matter.

Simplicity I really need to try some of these tips. I hate feeling the need to catch up with so much.

May he rest in peace Our Genie.
