thanks to old friend darrah for this gem. i'd been hearing this song lots on cbc in the mornings (shout out, tom power!), and this is a pretty solid live taping. there's one moment or two where the harmony doesn't quite hit, but not bad at all. and his awesomely lippy jowls face makes me so happy.happy mond...

{this woman is on a cleanse. i will not be happy and in a field and cleansing like this woman.}DISCLAIMER POINT TIMES A MILLION! THIS IS NOT A CLEANSE! THIS IS NOT A DIET!

on tuesday of this week, equal pay day was celebrated. that sad tragic holiday that says 'hey! wouldn't it be nice if we could celebrate equal pay?! it would! be SO NICE! but we can't. sorry! we still suck at paying men and women equally. ooooops!'or.why i still expect men to pay for the first date, even though i'm a modern, feminist woman.when we are equally rewarded for our work, i will happily let that expectation go. you're welcome.{quote in a quote! david futrelle and hilary m. lips}*david looks at numbers and more.but also: *a good point on people who don't get to be equal, too. sure, this...

tra la la. i will never stop loving tavi genvinson. sorry! i won't! she's so much cool. this comes at a good time, too, as sarah and i had a great little talk about tv and what happened to women on tv, yo? i'm talking mainstream tv. sarah is re-watching ally mcbeal. and she said she's floored how often they use the work 'feminism'. like. all the time. it isn't a dirty word or anything! and characters are shameful and embarrassed when they get it wrong. you know? when they DON'T get on board with the feminism. i cannot think of a show today that would dare do that. maybe maybe on hbo or showtime?...
