Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #7 – Not-For-Profit Cultural Sector

Like a lot of people who convocate with a Bachelor’s degree, the biggest question is “Now what?” In 1996, I had an expensive English degree, a specialization in creative writing, and not a lot of other options. (The other big question you get asked, especially with an English degree is: “Are you going to be […]

Music Monday – “There’s the progress we have found (when the rain)/A way to talk around the problem (when the children reign)/Building towered foresight (keep your conscience in the dark)/Isn’t anything at all (melt the statues in the park)/Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky”

Music Monday – “My heart’s like an open book/For the whole world to read/Sometimes nothing keeps me together/At the seams”

Shea and I watched “The Dirt“, the new Netflix Motley Crue biopic this weekend. Lots of songs that were a soundtrack to my high school years for sure including this one… “Home Sweet Home” – Motley Crue

The Homophobic Version of “Laurel” or “Yanny”?

There was lots of controversy on Twitter (but when isn’t there?) a couple days ago when Leafs defenseman, Morgan Rielly, was accused of yelling a homophobic slur on the ice. There were conflicting opinions with some people thinking the on-ice mics caught him yelling “Fucking faggot” (which wouldn’t be the first time this has happened […]
