We haven’t done a drag show at Laurier for years and we’ve never done a […]
Powered by corporate greed and childhood gluttony, holiday gift giving forces the hands and pockets of parents into spending an uncomfortable amount on unethical garbage just to keep their temperamental children from assaulting them with the severed head of the dolls that now need replacing. Or maybe I’m a cynic. Christmas is supposed to be about family. About uncomfortable dinners […]
