I still have 0 Fatshion sense

Baby bump
Happy Thursday folks! Yesterday was Bump's second ultrasound but it didn't go great. The tech took a lot of pictures but I have none to share as Bump was in a terrible position unless you want to see hir skull. We got to see a little hand and the hea…
Home Sweet Home
Last weeks' visit to the Soo was probably one of the most busy weeks I've ever had in my entire life. It was so incredibly wonderful to see all my family again, and I include all the friends we visited in there as well! It was warm, no HOT, and sunny…

Personhood for WOMEN
Over at Shakesville they've done something that shouldn't be needed, necessary or even dreamt of, but here it is; a personhood amendment for WOMEN. That's right; enough is enough. ENOUGH of women's bodies being political footballs. ENOUGH of women be…
IWD, Lady Gaga, and Women's Suffrage
Many thanks to Jacqueline Carey (author of some of my favorite books of all time) for posting this video up on her FB page. Please watch and share widely and for the love of the gods get out to vote this fall if you've got an election coming up. The …

A headline caught my eye the other day and I just now tracked down the rest of the story; eating healthy food IS expensive, often out of the reach of families on assistance of any kind. The Tyee, a local BC paper, is running an excellent story right …
Dear Future You
Dear Future You,
I guess noone's told you this before, or maybe they did but you didn't take them seriously, but here's the truth; your body will change. It's not a cliche that the only constant thing in life is change, it's a fact, and that g…
