I bought apple fritters today!
Apple fritters are not on Wikipedia’s list of “controversial doughnut-related items”! Which means I am eating donuts! Om nom nom. Om nom. om. (They are not baby-flavoured.)
Cookie Monster is probably disappointed in me, but that just means more cookies for him!
FUCK YEAH APPLE FRITTERS.

Inaugural Wheelchair Trip: the review!
So, I just went down to the Wendy’s and Tim Hortons nearby to get a burger and a doughnut, as I earlier said I was planning to.
I took my chair! Here are my observations, in point form.
My arms are sore, but I expected this, as it’s a group of muscles being used in a new way. I expect this to improve with time.
It took a fair bit longer than walking, but again, this was expected. I...

Rachael Ray's Late-Night Bacon Recipe →
The gold is in the reviews:
I didn’t know how to put the bacon in the microwave, so instead I held it up to the door and heated on high for 5 minutes. My bacon was not cooked. I used the right amount of paper towels and everything. It was late, and I was hungry, so I ate a tub of frosting instead. Next time I am going to put the bacon on top of the microwave. Maybe that will work. Any...

TUMBLR I AM BACK TUMBLR HOORAY I AM BACK
AND I MISSED YOU.
I, uh…a lot of stuff happened this week! I’m going to give it to you in point form, because that is how I am.
The day I left Guelph, my wheelchair got here! Too late for me to see it, but I saw it tonight and it is AWESOME. Pictures will happen, don’t worry.
The conference was supercool, my brain is full of ideas I want to take back to Guelph w/r/t highschool...
Conference is going great so far.
But Internet is (as I thought might be he case) a little hard to find. Using my friend’s iPhone at the moment. Typos are due to my gigantic thumbs.
The 20 days of Sondheim will resume on Sunday when I get home. Also you can then expect PHOTOS OF MY WHEELCHAIR, which has apparently arrived!

Today I am off to the Canadian Universities Queer Services Conference! I will probably have internet access at the hotel I am staying at, but I will probably be online less. I’m gonna do my best to keep the 20 days of Sondheim going and at least semi-keep-up with other folks’ postings, but I make no guarantees. None. Zero.

At a press conference Tuesday, the World Heritage Committee officially recognized the Gap Between Rich and Poor as the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” describing the global wealth divide as the “most colossal and enduring of mankind’s creations.” “Of all the epic structures the human race has devised, none is more staggering or imposing than the Gap Between Rich and Poor,” committee chairman Henri...

The Slanted Playing Field
squashed:
Monopoly is a good game for libertarians. Everybody starts out in the same spot. The rules are clear and understandable. There’s a lot of luck—but enough skill that you can feel good about winning. And it’s just a game. We don’t need to shed any tears for the losers.
To succinctly demonstrate my problems with the libertarian view, let’s change one rule. The player with the wealthiest...
