I’ve. got. links. I’ve got links.
Yes, even from different area codes
But in all seriousness, it is Feel Good Friday and we need to get down to business.
This week’s good vibes roundup includes mozzarella sticks, protests, JAWS, Mary Poppins, Canadian literature and youth culture.
If that doesn’t pique your interest, well then I just don’t know what will.
Happy reading!
- I think the title of this photo album says it all: “TransCanada Pipelines are evicted from Unist’ot’en Lands.” #pipelines #youcantsitwithus
- How have I not posted this piece here a million times?!?! “Jaws” Is Ridiculous, Say Kids Who Owe Everything to “Jaws.” A conversation about Jaws between Richard Dreyfuss’ two kids. My favourite part is this: “Shut up, Ben. I was married to him for 10 years. He killed Jaws.” READ IT RIGHT NOW. Then watch JAWS. Then go swimming.
- The City of Vancouver tried to evict tenters in Oppenheimer Park on Sunday. So, First Nations leaders from the Downtown Eastside issued the City of Vancouver an eviction notice instead.
- We gave you a little taste a few weeks ago, and now here is the full official trailer for ‘Dear White People.’ Go. Watch. Now.
- Detroit has paused its water shut offs for 15 days. That’s good! What’s even better is just, you know, keeping the water on all the time.
- “It Doesn’t Really Matter, You Can Tell By the Emily Carr Painting on the Cover That This Novel Is Important”: Every Canadian Novel Ever. (ahahahahahahaha.)
- But you should really get your Canadian feminist reading list on this summer.
- Headdresses have been banned at a B.C. Music Fest because, presumably, people are finally starting to catch on that wearing a headdress when you’re not Native is super offensive and racist.
- Turns out even Mary Poppins can’t survive on minimum wage.
- President Obama is set to sign an executive order banning workplace discrimination against LGBT federal employees.
- Yes. Last Friday evening, I spent a good amount of time reading this article that describes eating mozzarella sticks. I regret nothing.
- That article about eating TGI Fridays’ mozzarella sticks instantly reminded me of this scathing review of Guy Fieri’s Times Square restaurant. Welcome to Flavour Town indeed.
- Couple of new podcasts on rabble (!): Groundwire and MsRepresent.
- Did you know that the patriarchy is over? Oh wait it’s not. This amazing piece on #womenagainstfeminism and why that movement is not so great let’s us know why.
- There is something so charming about this video of a Pallas cat discovering a hidden camera.
- Oldie but a goodie: If you could sum up your first sexual experience in a SFW gif, what would it be?
- The language of youths: how mystifying. Especially when Time Magazine tries to decode it.
