Equality, Sexiest man alive

Blake Shelton, SMA 2017, And A Word About Equality

By //  by Jennifer Pitt Leave a Comment

(Edit: I stand by my points about equality and impossible standards, but because of this I firmly believe that Blake Shelton is NOT a good choice at all. If People wanted to choose a regular guy for SMA, there were FAR better choices than a racist and homophobic Blake Shelton, who couches his "apology" under the guise of "comedy."- JP) If anything good is coming out of the Trumpian Era, it’s that more and more people are standing up for women and equality, shining a glaring light on how …

Sexual Harassment & The Imbalance of Power In Hollywood

By //  by Jennifer Pitt Leave a Comment

I want to talk about Harvey Weinstein and the sexual harassment tornado that is swirling around him. I want to get the dirty details because I am a gossip hound, and in the blogging world—at least, in the entertainment blogging world—dirty details are good for business. And as much as I may want to write about the dirty details, the "what" of the details are just not the problem. They are the problem initially because he  sexually harassed what will probably amount to hundreds of women …

Self-Care is More Important Than Ever in 2017

By //  by Jennifer Pitt 1 Comment

There is a lot going on in the world this month. Harvey, Irma, Jose, flooding and earthquakes in sad abundance the world over, and of course the Great American Cheeto is still in office making America grate again, mostly on the rest of the world's last nerve. All of these world events are the bread and butter of social media these days, and it has become a go-to place for information and news now, instead of reputable news sources--which, admittedly, seem to be decreasing by the minute. The …

Truth & Reconciliation on Canada’s 150th Anniversary

By //  by Jennifer Pitt Leave a Comment

Being a Canadian is so much more than living in Canada, it's an identity that encompasses one of the top 20 most diverse populations in the world. That is a great source of pride for me; my heart swelled when 25,000 Syrian refugees were welcomed here, and when I see our diverse communities uniting values side by side, I am never more proud. This year, as Canada celebrates our 150th year of Confederation, I can't help but feel bittersweet about the festivities. Our rich history …

Why Wonder Woman Is More Than Just Another Superhero Movie

By //  by Jennifer Pitt Leave a Comment

Something happened to me today, and it took me a while to process my feelings. It was an emotional event, and I wasn't quite sure why, because all we did was go see a movie. Except it wasn't just a movie. It was Wonder Woman. From the second that young Diana is mimicking the movement of the amazons training below her, I had tears in my eyes. I looked at my partner and said "There's our girl." He knew exactly what I meant and smiled, squeezing my hand. He frequently laughs at me (with …
