Casual Violence – Maëlys McArdle
http://www.maelys.name/2014/05/casual-violence
May, 2, 2014. An acquaintance wrote a good piece. The other day that discussed how violence was just another part of her everyday like brushing her teeth. She begins:. So I’m playing a nice relaxing puzzle game online, trying to be a little less depressed so I can study for finals, and I happened to glance over at the chat board attached to the side of the game, and people are making jokes about mutilating trannies. There’s this perception that what I fear are isolated acts of aggression. The s...Such ac...

Vegan Snickerdoodle Doughnuts – Maëlys McArdle
http://www.maelys.name/2014/10/vegan-snickerdoodle-doughnuts
Oct, 4, 2014. I wanted to make snickerdoodle doughnuts after I had spotted a recipe online. Only they called for frying them, which I really don’t like to do! So I did some testing and came up with this recipe for a baked version. The result is alright. Makes 12 miniature doughnuts. 1 Tsp Ground Cinnamon. 2 Tsp Baking Powder. Preheat the oven to 350 F. In a small bowl, mix the 3 tbsp sugar and cinnamon. In a large bowl, cream the 1 cup sugar and butter. Mix in the apple sauce. Bake for 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, cream the sugar and butter. Add a quarter of the flour mix and milk and mix. Continue adding the flour and milk in quarters until all of it is incorporated. Pour the mixture into the greased pan.

Social Issues by Party – Maëlys McArdle
http://www.maelys.name/2014/09/social-issues-by-party
Social Issues by Party. Sep, 14, 2014. We don’t experience this issue, therefore it doesn’t exist. We oppose any solution that works because it would victimize us. We don’t experience this issue but we’re good at listening. We’ll pass laws that address the issue for those most like us. The rest will be criminalized. Some among us experience this issue. We’ll pass laws that are slightly more encompassing than the Liberals. The rest will be criminalized. Glares at the NDP. September 20, 2014 at 9:15 pm.

Witnessing Life Be Stolen From The Wonderful – Maëlys McArdle
http://www.maelys.name/2014/12/stolen-life
Witnessing Life Be Stolen From The Wonderful. Dec, 13, 2014. I’m scared that some of the most wonderful people I’ve come to know won’t be here in five years. They share stories of abuse and I bear witness to a creeping apathy to life. I see them become numb to the words of kindness from those who love them. I see those who love them feel so small because they know they lack the power to make it right. Life is slowly bled out through mundane interactions, each seemingly too insignificant to act upon.

How To Tell When Someone Came Out When All You Know Is Their Name – Maëlys McArdle
http://www.maelys.name/2014/06/when-someone-came-out-when-all-you-know-is-their-name
How To Tell When Someone Came Out When All You Know Is Their Name. Jun, 4, 2014. An interesting article came out on FiveThirtyEight called How to Tell Someone’s Age When All You Know Is Her Name. Based off of only a name, you could make a pretty good guess as to when they were born. It was particularly cool read given that I had actually been going through the same dataset myself. The names reflected their popularity at their time of birth. The names reflected their popularity among their peers. Take the...

Capital Pride & Prejudice – Maëlys McArdle
http://www.maelys.name/2014/08/pride-despite-capital-pride
Capital Pride & Prejudice. Aug, 8, 2014. I think Ottawa’s Capital Pride serves as a good case study on the mechanics of prejudice. Capital Pride purports to represent the interests of the queer community in Ottawa and Gatineau. In practice they only serve white, upper or middle class, able-bodied, working-age, anglophone, cisgender gay individuals. For the purposes of this article, I’ll shorten this latter group to. But know that when I use that term I mean all of these qualifiers. After last year’s reco...

Peanut-Free Peanut Butter Cookies – Maëlys McArdle
http://www.maelys.name/2014/12/peanut-free-peanut-butter-cookies
Peanut-Free Peanut Butter Cookies. Dec, 13, 2014. I realize “Peanut-Free Peanut Butter Cookies” is a contradiction. I figured people wouldn’t know what to expect if I called them “Sunflower Seed Butter Cookies.” Nor would those seeking a substitute for peanut butter cookies when someone they know is allergic find this. So Peanut-Free Peanut Butter Cookies it is. The magic ingredient here is sunflower seed butter. I find it has a very similar taste and texture to peanut butter. Cup Sunflower Seed Butter.
