Michelle Obama is more than her outfit. (What I hate about modern media)

sk-quote-feminism

Hey guys. Watching the US presidential inauguration coverage from across the border is quite a view. I love how Americans go all out with stuff like this. Honestly, I do. I love watching ceremonies from an anthropological standpoint. Being that the US is Canada’s closest neighbour, I feel obligated to keep up with the national news. But one thing about it in particular has got me a little angry. It’s the coverage of the … Continue reading

I don’t want to be a pretty princess!

IMG_0233-Edit

Hey guys. I’m talking about a girly subject today. The ‘p’ word. P-R-I-N-C-E-S-S. What do you mean, ‘princess?!’ it’s in the title, you dirty pervert. I thought this was especially relevant this time of year. I get insanely annoyed seeing all the ‘sexy’ costumes and related BS.

That’s why I wanted to feature her … Continue reading

The last 2yrs have been such a growth period for me.  At the start of last year, after months of thinking about it, I decided to shift my focus to stuff … Continue reading

Monday Meow: I’ve been busy!

Hey Strangekittens. Do you hate Mondays as much as me? I think it should always be a 3-day weekend! Anyway, I’ve been busy the last few weeks. Had a health scare with a relative, but kept myself occupied with work. It does help, especially when there’s nothing you can do personally. This is what I was working on: More shots with Vesper Sephony! I recently bought a very, very strong exhaust fan, … Continue reading
