Fudge the Mommy Wars!
So… I guess the “Mommy Wars” are back. This makes sense, because it’s an election year, and what better way to distract us from real issues than to ignite petty debates about whether or not stay-at-home moms work or if it is akin to child abuse if you breastfeed a child past the age of [...]
Shoes. Shoes. SHOES!
Yesterday, I was minding my own business when I got a text from my housemate. It was a picture of a shoe rack and he’d captioned it, “you need this.” Fast forward four hours, and I’m kneeling in the hallway outside of my apartment. I’ve pulled out every pair of black boots I own and [...]
Yum, Yum, Yum… Cabbage and Beer.
I have been trying to break out of my steady diet of microwaved veggie burgers and sugar snap peas in a bag by trying to cook a new, never before tried (by me) recipe. Tonight I wanted to try the Braised Cabbage and Seitan from Appetite for Reduction, but ended up going way off course [...]
My Child is a Bleeping Vegetarian
My child is a [bleeping] vegetarian. That’s cool. I’m a [bleeping] vegetarian too. Not in a militant way. I won’t, for example, run up to people enjoying a hamburger and smack it out of their hands and tell them: YOU’RE EATING AN ANIMAL THAT WAS TORTURED TO DEATH YOU MEAN POOPHEAD. I used to do [...]

Why, Target, Why?
Last week I posted my letter to Target, asking them to counter their support for anti-gay political candidates with actual dollars to LGBT friendly organizations. I got back a totally douche-y form letter that answered none of my concerns, so I wrote back. My letter is below, and I encourage you to send one of [...]
Letter Writing Campaign… Join In!
In response to the news that Target donated a boatload of money to some gay-haters, I’ve decided to boycott my very favourite store. This is hard for me, because I love, love, LOVE Target. But I also have, you know, some self-respect. A boycott is only effective if you communicate that you are boycotting, and [...]
