I think sometimes this happens unintentionally. I recently saw a meme on Facebook that conveyed something to the effect of: instead of paying $100 for a therapy session, go out dancing. While I understand the intention was likely playful, I found the image offensive for a lot of reasons. First. I’m part of the ballroom [...]

What really grates me…
I think I'm going to start a few recurring posts as I see fit... one, I think, is going to be "Seascape Saturday" and the other is just simply going to be things that grate my ass... whenever things like that come up (which, is often). You can guess which one today's post is... [...]
Plans Trigger and Rant
More and more I see how much making plans with people triggers me, or rather, the process of making plans does. Case in point: a friend mentions that we should meet up this week (saying this last week). We pick a day and time and then it is never mentioned again. The day passes without [...]

This here is one such article that spews garbage, focusing on how people who love their pets are showing their "indifference" to man. On the contrary, I think if you show indifference to [...]
Please Boycott A Dog’s Purpose
Toyota commercial with dog “floating” down river.
This is without a doubt one of the worst commercials I have ever seen. Anyone who cares anything about animals would never produce or promote such a commercial. All it takes is one idiot trying to recreate this "fetch" scenario and a dog will lose its life. I just cannot believe that anyone thought this [...]
Sexism Abounds: Body Say
Here's a little rant/tidbit for you. I'm really diggin' Demi Lovato's newish tune "body say"; however, whenever I hear it on the radio it is an edited version. The lyric "I want your sex" is changed to "I want your best." I've heard this numerous times. Maybe it depends on the station? I don't know. [...]
