The Winnie Crundel Issue
Kale's perspective,
So our generation is supposed to be liberated, right? I mean, we're so liberated that to us 'liberated' is this hugely outdated word that makes us giggle. HAHAHA. We look smugly back at our parents' generation and think - poor them having to grow their hair to make a statement and having to fight these really obvious issues like racism and sexism. Our world is so much shinier. People are so much more tolerant. Yay us! While all the above may be true in general terms, I'd like to point out that where the PC learning of our youth left off, the narrow-minded views of the ages have taken over.
For instance, in the area of ""young women"" and sex, I have recently discovered that we're all just a bunch of red-necked yahoos, scratching our privates and making grunting noises at the people we don't understand. If women want to have sex a lot, that should be fine. If women want to have sex a little, that should be fine, too. If women want to save sex for marriage, what's the

The Birthday Issue
Kale's perspective,
So I was turning eighteen finally after what seemed like years of waiting, and I wanted it to be special. I wanted to have some kind of rite of passage or even a symbol-- I dunno, something to show for the fact that I'd made it through to adulthood without stabbing my brother six times in the throat. So I told Malachi about it, and that turned out to be what I like to call a ""poor decision."" First he fed me shots that he and Mary-E made up from leftover bits from the liquor bottles in her recycling bin, I think. Then we partied all night, which normally would've been fun...
But then the next morning I woke up mostly naked with a tattoo on my chest in a hotel room on the outskirts of town with a similarly tattooed stranger showering in the washroom. Then things kinda went downhill from there. Happy Birthday to me. So let's just say, after the birthday I had, I'm holding a wee grudge against my boyfriend, Malachi… O.K. a medium-sized grudge. O.K. a plus-sized gargantu
