I’ll admit it up front, I tend to dress like an unfashionable frump of at least 20 years beyond my chronological age. But I actually really love clothes! Which is how I got hooked on Zulily. More pretty clothes to look at every day? Steeply discounted? Sign me right up!
While I do find things there that I love and neeeeeed, it appears I simply lack the constitution for the world of cutting-edge fashion. There is probably a feminist statement to be made somewhere, about how runway fashion for men is weird too but the real monstrosities don’t turn up in mid-priced ready-to-wear, because men’s inherent dignity. Or something.
Or you could just laugh. Each of these gems was available – in my size – from Zulily, today!

Makes more sense to me put in this format, go go go magic of the internet. :)
It must be a slow news week for JO and the Last Week Tonight Show as they spend a segment describing our Senate expense scandal. Is it surprising that people with access to public funds are behaving irresponsibly, not really – but unlike JO, I think the money spent documenting our free-wheeling senators is a good thing. I believe it sends a small message to our elected public officials that they, like the rest of Canadians, are responsible for their actions.
The clip in question:
Sometimes twitter for all of its prosaic nature slams a trenchant observation right down the pipe.
Religion and patriarchal bullshite usually go hand in hand. The Quiverfull movement proudly leads this toxic parade of misogyny, combining the worst of religion and misogyny all into one neat corrosive package.
Witness how much grievous stupidity can be gleaned from just one biblical verse:
“Children are a blessing and gift from the Lord.
Having a lot of children to take care of you in your old age is like a warrior with a lot of arrows.
Psalm 127:3-4″
Let the fun begin…
I hate it when I’m late for work.
Oh crap!!!
As you read this right now, our choir is on tour in Iceland. One of the songs we are singing is Heyr himna smiður, an Icelandic hymn, with the text of an 800-year-old poem, that was set to music in the 20th century. The harmonies are achingly, spine-tinglingly beautiful.
This performance of Heyr himna smiður, by an Icelandic vocal group playing with the acoustics in a train station late at night after a concert, went viral a few years ago. Please enjoy.
