This morning a discussion started on the Kick Point twitter timeline about the Reasons Why My Kid is Crying tumblr account. I had seen the internet buzzing about for a few days, but hadn’t actually looked at the site until people were talking to Kick Point about it. I had some feelings. I wrote a [...]

After an uneventful flight (holy-god-I-flew-Air-Canada-what) I got to Heathrow. I was quickly whisked through the terminal to arrive at the UK border. The moment was a little surreal. And nice!
