We met in September and I knew right away you were too good to be true but I took a chance and we dated anyway. You’re the sweetest person I’ve ever met and even though our relationship was short lived and you dumped me over Facebook, I’m still grateful that I was able to spend […]

To whoever jacked my Blundstones
I left a pair of grey blundstones in the back of a cab on Valentine’s Day. This was my fault. After many calls to the cab company, I was told that the driver checked and was unable to find them. These are my only shoes, which I wear year round. So, to whoever took my […]
“AMAZING OPPORTUNITIES”
I’m just reading about a part time job on Kijiji that offers a couple measly bucks above minimum wage and, of course, has no benefits and the poster of the ad has the nerve to describe this piece of crap job as an “Amazing Opportunity”. You know what would be “amazing”? If you would hire […]
Medical cannabis bullshit
Why is there not a single weed dispensary in all of downtown Dartmouth? There’s one on Main Street, one in Woodside, but not a single one downtown! I am disabled and have to ride several buses in the winter time to get my medication! This is ridiculous! Also, these weed dealers who still sell illegally […]
Bodacious ice person
What a magical morning walk this morning at 5am along the Portland Street strip for my coffee. There I beheld the miraculous appearace of numerous stunning ice sculptures peppering both sides of the street! Whoever did this, you made me feel something, something warm, chip away at my cold, dead soul. Who did this magic? […]
Femmes can be creeps too
Are you really single because you’re afraid of love? Or are you a self-obsessed, bullying void who anyone with even half a boundary won’t touch with a 30 foot pole?—Shrug emoji
A racist is a racist is a racist
I’m continually shocked at the amount of racism targeted towards people of colour in Halifax’s night scene. Being drunk does not place you at liberty to yell racist profanities at brown men (who are minding their own business) and sucker punch them in the face. What’s next, are you going to punch them into a […]
Unashamed Dead Kennedys fan paradox
The Dead Kennedys mocked extreme liberals, fascists and bullies regularly and stated that one should “think for oneself”. As a recovering leftist, I started to pay attention to the insidious madness of political extremes and realized that Trump was the antithesis of the regressive left. I spent half my life as a socialist, and once […]
Price of membership
I was signed up against my better will at my university campus a little over a week ago. I’m a low income student (attending university through a program through the Department of Community Services) and thought that a membership to the grocery store, if shared with my four roommates, could be appropriate. I was reassured […]
Shove your shitty job up your arse!
So, the temp agency called me the other day about a job opening. In order to apply, I had to complete a personality test and a cognitive test (in addition to rigorous testing done at the agency at the time I signed up). Then, I go to the interview where I answered three pages of […]
Walking contradiction
To the guy I see on the bus all the time with the patches all over his trench coat: I just don’t understand how you can have “TRUMP” and “Make America Great Again” on one sleeve, then on the other have “Nazi Punks Fuck Off”. Give your head a shake and listen to the lyrics […]
Shout out to the kind bus drive on the #1 route
When you saw a lady approaching the bus, slipping on the icy sidewalk, you stopped without hesitation and went out to help her. You could have driven away and let her catch the next bus, but you did not. Thank you for reminding me there are good people in this world. I wish there were […]
