Democratic Debate #9: Elizabeth Warren Showcases Her Strategy for Beating Trump by Eviscerating Mike Bloomberg

Aside from launching skilled attacks at her opponents, she was always ready to pivot back to a story about a Nevadan or highlight the specific plight of black and brown people. I think she made her case that if you want a candidate who can go toe-to-toe with an “arrogant billionaire,” she’s ready.

Queer Tarotscopes: Pisces Season Gives Us Room to Breathe

Where does your mind go when you give it space to wander? What emotions bubble to the surface when you stop trying to hold back?

Let Us Consider St. Gertrude, the Cat Lady Alternative to St. Patrick

St. Patrick’s Day, every non-Irish person’s favourite excuse to get piss drunk, talk in an annoying accent all day and cover everything in Green is coming up once again. But why celebrate an embarrassingly tacky version of someone else’s religious holiday when you can hold a party for the patron saint of cat ladies, Gertrude of Nivelles, instead.
