The frozen indian

WHY?  Walking home the other night I came accross this snow indian, majestically riding his snow horse through the urban streets.  It seems racist somehow, the magestic lone man in glistening white lit up for your viewing pleasure.  And this isn't even the right sort of indian for Ottawa.  What do you think?  Can we let it go as art?

You're Probably Cleaning Your Vagina Wrong
This is a classic Buzzfeed article with pictures and short text for our tired minds, but I kinda love these.  I read these with the girls to normalize vaginas and breasts.  To show that people talk about these things.  That is ok to talk about them.  Learn how to take good care of yours.  Then look at cute kitties.

Gender Biases in Education
This article takes a data set about teachers and shows the differences between male and female proffessors.  It is pretty striking.  Data is fun.

Ottawa Public Library - was pleasantly suprised with my visit to the Library to find readers for aboriginal and metis kids.  R was very happy to see them and it is nice to have something to read that is relivant and not involving to terrible purple dinosaurs from the 1970s.
