Hip hop isn’t always known for its sensitivity around issues of misogyny and homophobia so this song, written in support of efforts to legalize same sex marriage in Washington State, is a welcome change… “Same Love” – Macklemore and Ryan Lewis
So I was flitting around YouTube this weekend and came across this video of a member statement made by Carrot River MLA, Fred Bradshaw in the Saskatchewan Legislature and which was uploaded a couple months ago on April 17, 2013. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Psj4cFq7kqQ Although they don’t specify who the “prominent NDP blogger” in question is (and out […]
Pace went to a birthday party today and got a bubble tube as part of the goody bag treats. As soon as we got home, he suggested using it as a “light saver” so we could play Star Wars. (I also have to note that after the party, Pace told us that he was the […]
Going to Hawaii a year and a half ago was one of the best trips of my life and I’m constantly thinking about when we’ll be able to get back (short answer: probably not for a long time!) But if I can’t get there in person, I can pretend I’m there, even when I’m still […]
