I already posted a Storify on how CBC Radio 3 changed my life in order to mark its transition from live hosting to pre-recorded bits. But I am not alone. I am currently reading through the thousands of comments on the blog from Friday’s final shows while re-listening to the episode (link). It’s amazing just how […]
My dad, who is retiring later this year, just earned his black belt in karate. He started when he was 41 years old, picking it up when my younger sister and brother did it as kids. Both of them quit, as did I shortly after I started a few years later. But he kept it […]
100 years isn’t that long.
An all-female Ghostbusters doesn’t ruin boys’ childhoods but it might make girls’ ones better.
I believe in freedom of speech but I also believe in a world where people can go wherever they choose without being subjected to harassing, hateful language.
I believe in freedom of speech. I believe in being sensitive to how using that freedom can affect others. I believe even those who aren’t sensitive to using that freedom should be allowed to speak. I believe we should be allowed to ignore them. I believe we should be allowed to condemn them. I believe […]
2014 was one of the best years in human history. Maybe even the best.
Just as “Fear Of Missing Out” describes the anxiety people have that they’ll miss someone else’s awesome thing, “In Case You Missed It” comes from the fear that other people will miss our awesome thing.
Aaron Sorkin: “Do the emails contain any information about Sony breaking the law? No. Misleading the public? No. Acting in direct harm to customers, the way the tobacco companies or Enron did? No. Is there even one sentence in one private email that was stolen that even hints at wrongdoing of any kind? Anything that […]
“Slate tracked what everyone was outraged about every day in 2014… From righteous fury to faux indignation, everything we got mad about in 2014—and how outrage has taken over our lives.” A truly epic piece on the phenomena of outrage on the internet. Looking back, it’s true: I spent much of the year reading about […]
Adults used to be defined by what they have- spouse, kid, car. We need to start defining them by what they do.
Kirk Love wrote a post called “Decide. Don’t Apologize.” “Here’s a tip if you’re in a leadership position. Make a decision. Convey that decision to the team in a direct manner. Then execute it.” Like Kirk, I’m new to being “the boss”. And like him, rather than do what he says above, I often hedge. […]
In a post called “The Racists We Love,” Jay Kirell documents the help he’s had in his life – a family member who got him a job, a manager who gave him a raise, fellow army members who saved his life – from people who hold and communicate racist views: “At no point in time did I […]
I saw Big Hero 6 with my niece this weekend, and while it was fine the short film in front of it was outstanding. Buzzfeed has a nice little write-up on the revival of short films at Disney, starting with the outstanding “Paperman” (if you haven’t seen it, go watch it now) and through to this […]
There are still people who somehow see a woman without kids as selfish or somehow not fulfilling their mandate here on earth. A tough person to deal with under any circumstances, but only more so if being childless weren’t a matter of choice.
