Why are news sources STILL reporting on this Lori Loughlin college-admission scandal? Get over it. The rich get perks in this world. Always have. That’s life. Leave poor Aunt Becky alone. — Unjust Interests of Justice

Loves stink
Last week somebody bitched about the lack of loves in this section. Fuck that. There shouldn’t be loves in this section at all. The Coast should get that weak shit outta here and let us bitch non-stop. — Shade Thrower

To my friends
Just want to send some love out to the people who’ve had my back from my teen years to now. My longtime chosen family who get me and who have seen me at my worst, and supported me and encouraged me during my struggles, are the ones whose words ring through to my soul and […]

City space utilization
The more I traverse the city, the more annoying I find it that we have two large car dealerships within our urban core (and even more farther north). Should not we be more critical of how we utilize our city’s space, and not allow glorified parking lots to set up shop, especially in the city with […]

Dining forgiveness
To the two couples having a posh dinner at around 6pm. I AM SO SO SORRY. I thought I could be as quiet as I could in blowing my nose but failed. My dear friend did mention it and I felt so very embarrassed. I was very tempted to pay for each of your desserts […]

Seriously, now you’ve stolen my garbage?
Seriously, you’ve now stolen a potentially asbestos-containing bag of garbage off my doorstep?! I was going to keep adding to it, but I guess you wanted that plastic sheeting, dried ceiling popcorn goo and potential cancer-causing fibres! (I can’t afford asbestos testing so I treated it like it did have asbestos). Between you and the […]

Coastal power
Wonderful editors that lay out the Love/Bitch section. I’m sitting in New Zealand, reading a crinkly, month-old edition of The Coast that was definitely drenched at one point, that my family lovingly sends me from home. I begin to read as I usually do (check the photographer of the cover, and then read from back-to-front—goodies […]

Tool time
The app-based sharing economy has produced no shortage of bizarre and terrible business ideas. Ever hear of Leftover Swap, the short-lived San Francisco startup that aimed to reduce food waste by letting users sell yesterday’s clammy noodles to nearby strangers? Didn’t think so. But Alberta electrician David Thiessen is out to prove there’s life in […]

Where people have sex outdoors all over Halifax
The things that make Halifax is a great place for getting outdoors—all the trees and lakes and parks—also make Halifax a great place for getting busy outdoors. In the 2020 Sex + Dating survey we asked people where they’ve had sex in public. The answers were all over the map, literally. So for purely scientific […]

The exception to the rule
I saw your look of confusion as I passed by, blaring my horn at you. Look: the carshare parking spots are for carshare cars. Not for German-made luxury vehicles idling life away. So had to park farther away and walk through even more treacherous shitice because of you. Thanks. If I seem overly enraged, it’s because […]

Bus buddies begone!
Dear Bus Buddies: you know who you are. You stand up front near the driver (“your buddy”) chewing the fat and blocking the entrance to passengers. Sure, there may be plenty of seats available to choose from, and gasp, sit in, but you prefer to stand and gab, gab and stand, narrowing the aisle, creating […]

Bad dog bag man
To the dog walker along Almon Street who carries yellow or green plastic doggy bags for the poop pick-up: yes, you’re doing the earth-friendly thing by bending over to bag your dog’s poop, but only to deposit the bag on the sidewalk by the telephone pole near the Rona on Almon. Please do mother earth a […]
