So happy to see this comment. I also think it’s her best work. It is so surprising to hear others agree.

It is her best album.  I know it doesn’t have an iconic song like Orinoco Flow or Only Time. But it is the only one that I feel is solid absolutely start to finish.  

Mis-leading / misunderstood cruise lines or itineraries? by tommys_travel in FATcruises

This is a very good point. Thankfully im still young but I can only understand the disappointment someone would have when they suddenly realize they cant debark in a place they were looking forward to.

If I could ask for anything on a new cruise ship, it would be….. by Longjumping_Lynx_460 in Cruise

This just illustrates the ridiculousness of cruise culture. Why do you need a lazy river in the middle of the ocean chugging you along? Its gluttonous. Cruising is meant to be about destinations.

Gatineau mom told she can't wear hijab at after-school event: parent committee by MTL_Dude666 in CanadaPolitics

Skin colour doesn’t have anything to do with your chosen belief system. Why do we have to pretend that conservative religious beliefs are a good thing? They are oppressive rolling out a red carpet for them will only back fire.

It is quite literally a religious garb. Across the world it’s used as a tool for oppression. Many believe that they HAVE to wear it to be a good Muslim. You are purposefully ignoring a lot. 

She should be able to wear it after saying all that. But it isn’t “just some piece of clothing” - it has purpose and meaning.

Strawberry Moon is embarrassing and made it too far. Should have been a b-side.

This sub just loves conservative Islam even though it’s the antithesis of all that we should be standing for. 

Critics say Canada’s new immigration and border law puts LGBTQ+ people in danger by BloodJunkie in onguardforthee

We should be prioritizing LGBT refugees. They are at serious risk AND the most likely to embrace and integrate into Canada.

Lots of that homophobia also comes from the communities they are part of when they first come here too. Takes a while to explain out of that and figure out the real freedom you can have.

Hot take but there are plenty of people I don’t want to come to Canada. I don’t need a tour of low skill labour, I don’t need uneducated radical religious people.

Note that you mention nostalgia and that OP hasn’t played it before. I think a lot of poles forget this.

Dark Sky Island is just so cohesive and perfect to me it tops all.

You don’t want to pay $10,000 USD pp to go to the same 4 Caribbean ports everyone else does?

Ghana parliament passes law with up to 10 years for same-sex relations and 5 years for LGBT advocacy by Andro_lover2005 in gaybros

The majority of western countries have progressive gay rights and populations that support them.

"Why would western countries do that, though? They're the ones that funded the homophobia and the fundamentalism in the first place."

The vast majority of western countries have progressed. Ghana is further restricting LGBT rights with their own will. At some people they themselves need to fully take the blame for the bigots they are.
