I’m super late to the party and due to bad family things happening I haven’t been very active on Persephone in the past month, but I am just so excited for Movie Club! I’m off to bed soon so I’ll come up with some […]

Since I had few friends in high school, I watched a lot of TV and films. I think it’s benefitted me since I’m going to get my MA in film studies. I probably won’t remember everything I watched, but here […]

On Friday I found out that I’ve been accepted into grad school for my MA, so this is really relevant to me at the moment! I’m going to try to keep this advice in mind when I’m studying. I’m hoping I can avoid some […]

If I ever need to clean out the ol’ colon I might try these. Prunes + excessive cheese + lactose intolerance = empty colon in no time at all.

Also I apologize if this is TMI, but it’s the first place my mind went to.

I break dishes a lot. I’ve broken two of my five plates, a set of six glasses, two of the replacement glasses my parents bought for me, and one of my mugs. I inherited a beautiful set of Limoges china from my […]

I’m so excited for this series! If this post is any indication, it’s going to be very interesting. Recently I haven’t been drinking as much wine as I have in the past (with the exception of last Saturday night, […]

This comment has made me realize that I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Okanagan wine in any LCBO I’ve been in (I live in Ottawa). Maybe I should take a closer look in one of the larger stores.

I had to watch a season of The Bachelor for one of my women’s studies classes. We were doing a group project analyzing gender roles in dating-themed reality shows. It was awful. Some of the women were cool (one […]

Oh god so much of this is so true. I hate Journey, except for “Any Way You Want It”, and I only like that song because it was featured in the Larry Burns episode of The Simpsons. “Don’t Stop Believin” was ruined […]

Apparently they were trying to “purify us” because we are all “sinners” who want to abort everything. A cop dragged him away. Actually the cops were on the pro-choice side and they dragged away multiple anti-choicers.

I went to the pro-choice counterprotest there last year! I think they do it every year, and every year the pro-choice counterprotest keeps growing. I’m definitely going again this year!

I went to a pro-choice counterprotest towards anti-choicers at Parliament Hill in May. I wrote a post about it here. There were thousands of anti-choicers, and they recruited teenagers as well, except many teens […]

Susan, I know you were worried about this article being published and how we would react to it, but I don’t think you should have been worried at all! I think this is a great piece and you stated your opinion […]

This is absolutely amazing! I don’t think a Canadian PM has done something that ridiculous (though Mackenzie King comes close with his psychic romps with his mother and dead dog).

Sadly the only thing I can come up with Jack Layton (RIP) playing the spoons during the last Canadian federal election in May, though I’m not sure if that’s what you’re looking for. I don’t think a sketch has been […]

I have a package of ramen and a can of peas in my cupboard. Whenever I get a ramen craving I’m going to combine the two with some soy sauce for some epic cheap yumminess.

I’m in my last year of university and I still love the occasional raw ramen. It was popular in my elementary school too, but my mom got mad when she caught me eating it at home.

Not the same organization, but the Canadian Girl Guides also promote equality and acceptance. Though I had a negative experience with them when I was a kid, the organization seems to have changed a bit since the […]

A great follow-up to a great article! Also, if they want to make a doll for little kids with alopecia, I think a Stan Sitwell doll would be more appropriate than a Barbie. (Apologies, I thought this up as soon as […]

I only go to Jez when I’m really, really bored. Most of their articles are really infuriating. It’s like a hate-read for me now.

Also, on Tuesday one of my profs claimed that one of his favourite websites was […]
