kaylakantola replied to your post: programs I applied to, in order of preference:Come to Emerson! It’s in Boston and it has SUCH a strong journalism program. Also it has an extremely strong artistic and musical community. AND a sign language program. :)
I totally don’t have the money to move away from Toronto, but I need to visit Boston someday!

centering practices:
1. Choose or find an herbal tea that you absolutely love, and make it your ritual to drink a cup or two of it every night. You can do this meditatively, or while reading a good book, or over a conversation with someone comforting. Pay attention to the warmth of the mug in your hand, the warmth flowing into your body, healing you.
2. When you feel stressed out, scatterbrained, or otherwise...

How is it that bisexual deniers still exist?!
Okay, I get that you find it difficult to imagine what it would be like to be attracted to both sexes, but that doesn’t mean NO ONE is. Idiots.
That’s EXACTLY like saying you don’t believe in leprosy or malaria because you’ve never actually seen someone who had it.
SO FUCKING STUPID.

I deleted my Reddit account...
…after threatening to do so multiple times over the past month, because it’s just crawling with misogyny and homophobia.
For a website that seems to pride itself on being progressive and open-minded, it really is anything but.
The final straw for me was a discussion I got into with a bunch of guys tonight about rape culture. They claimed it doesn’t exist; I told them it most...

My university application essay is about handjobs.
Ryerson’s journalism program asks you to write an essay about a specific piece of journalism that inspired you to want to be a part of the field.
I wrote mine about Grant Stoddard’s article I Did It For Science: Happy Ending, wherein he attempts to get a handie from an Asian masseuse (“for science!”).
The essay ends with something like, “And so it’s thanks...

some emotionally valuable items I own
-a worn and tattered old copy of Lolita, which inspired me to make this list. given to me by a long-term admirer who has nice hair and draws cartoons. I read this copy of this novel for the most important project of my high school career - my grade 12 English ISU (essentially the secondary school equivalent of a thesis) - and got a mark of 100 on the essay.
