Why Cycle Syncing Won’t be a Billion $ Industry, but Female Anatomy Party Games will be

The Future of Sex Ed is Called Boob Blurbing — When I was 14, I had my last sex-ed class. At that point, the closest I’d come to an understanding of female anatomy was labelling where ovaries were on a low-resolution fill-in-the-blank image of female genitalia for a health test in school. Most sex-ed curriculum is about the act of…

The Wetter, The Better.

How Dehydration, Hypothermia and Lightning Changed my Life — I held my water bottle filled with bleach with one of my hands. I was attempting to keep my raincoat over my head with the other. But it was all pointless anyway; I was wet to a new extreme. Even after hours of hunching in a kinda-squat position, the storm…

You can’t pee on your problems to solve them.

But there are other things you can do. — I once had a (virgin) mojito, and it lead to the most excruciating pain of my life. I still have nightmares about lime, soda water and sugar. I was 12 and in Cuba for a family vacation. The great thing about Cuban-all-inclusive-resorts is the ability to exploit the free drinks…

77 Things That Can Completely Change Your Life

Actions to take to become happier, more productive and kind. — How you train is how you perform. I love this quote. If you snooze your alarm every morning, you’re not going to become better at waking up without an alarm. If you’re unkind to the people around you, you won’t become kinder. If you’re always late to hand in assignments, you’re not going to become better at…

Why I walked for 12 hours. Marathon Training? A dare? No, Empathy.

My friend and I tried walking really far to develop empathy for people who need to walk far distances for life necessities, healthcare or safety. — I’m working on emm.health, so the issue of maternal health care has been top-of-mind. The other day my friend and I wanted to walk really far. It was to try to develop empathy for women in rural Sub-Saharan Africa who walk hours roundtrip to receive care for their pregnancies. It…

My Favourite Part of Toronto is the Subway

As the grey train dashes into Royal York, the TTC man waves. I step over the yellow lego platform edge as the tinted windows clasp together. The missed-the-train man waves. I slump on my red velvet throne, as tinted windows clasp together, breathing in second-hand hemp, while my throne’s threading unknots…

I was selfish, not broke

Nine experiences that helped me build wealth and happiness — a summary of my money philosophy: Save some money to bet on myself. Bet on projects, ideas, and visions. Invest in my friends’ curiosities, ambitions and projects Be reflective with purchases — ask, is this vital? Useful? Meaningful? Tip well Develop an honest dialogue with oneself. Am I broke, or…

The Great British Baking Show

She approaches the enormous kitchen tent: Perhaps today’s rain will melt it away Or the wind will scatter it across the English countryside. Does she really belong here? Inside, 5 hours on the clock and the challenge commences: “A spectacular themed banquet display of 12 entremets And a beautifully crafted centrepiece.” Is this…

Pieces of Peacefulness

A Reflection from my First Year of Uni — Izzy, you’ve changed. In the best way possible. But I can’t put my finger on it. After my first semester of uni, I was back home and in my closest friend’s bedroom. Twaddling about our lives now 1200 km apart (instead of 2). Perhaps it’s just maturity? Living away from…
