Please stop tagging me on videos of a young Black woman being stabbed to death in a Saskatoon bar with people cheering & a DJ shouting B-fight on the mic. We are the only race that are constantly asked to watch the murder of a community member from beginning to last breath.

5 years ago today, I finally took the leap into an authentic life, and told the world the truth about myself that I had always known. To anyone considering making the same choice: it won’t be as good as you imagine. It will be infinitely, indescribably better. Happy Pride, y’all

Doubt anyone was that invested in my Jeopardy anecdote about going to Kraftwerk with my dad, but in case anyone was: after ten years of talking about it I am finally going to see Kraftwerk with my dad

Every young person in Toronto’s ideal summer consists of spending as much time sitting outside (patio, porch, park, wherever) as possible and I am pleased to report that I am living the dream!!

When are they going to take the gloves off in the Ontario election with simple, clear (and true) messaging? It’s begging for it, and Ford is vulnerable

My husband and I worked hard to pay off our student loan debt and we’ve saved for decades for our child’s college fund, so is it fair that others might just get their student debt forgiven? Yes. It totally is. I don’t need others to suffer just bc I did.

To every journalist who asks me if we now live in a world where you can’t say anything anymore: We currently live in a world where you can masturbate in front of people you employ, and then win a Grammy for talking about it.

Go see Scarborough. Go see Scarborough. Go see Scarborough. Spontaneous applause as the credits rolled on Scarborough. @theloudlady what a goddamn masterpiece. Beautifully shot, meticulously paced, and the kids made my heart break and mended it again. Go. See. Scarborough.
