Elliot Page Goes Back To Being A Woman After Learning White Men Aren’t Allowed To Have An Opinion On Anything

Hollywood, CA — The actress-turned-actor Elliot Page has flipped once again to being an actress after experiencing firsthand that the white men she generally hated when she was a woman are still not allowed to have an opinion on anything.

Elliot made a splash in the entertainment industry recently announcing he was, in fact, a man, when all we had ever known about him was that he was a woman named Ellen Page. Once his manhood was established, his thoughts on issues like women’s rights, unequal pay, and racism were immediately deemed irrelevant due to the fact that he is a white man.

“How can he know our struggle as women?” asked one woman. Another chimed in, “He’s lived a life of privilege since he’s a white man in America!” And another, “He probably voted for Trump.” Once beloved as a young up-and-coming actress, now shunned for being a white man. Elliot admitted he thought he could help change the culture in America by coming out as a straight white man, but the truth is, that only happens if you come out as gay, transgender, a white person pretending to be black, or if you’re an old white man who plays “Despacito” in front of Latino people.

Children’s Books This Christmas

Some of you know that I have written two children’s books, but for those that don’t… I’ve written two children’s books! Every year around this time I like to remind folks that if they’re looking for a nice gift for a tiny loved one, they have two good options (the books I mentioned just 7 seconds ago!).

I wrote the first one after the title popped in my mind one day. “Big and Small, God Made Them All”… I wondered what this could look like if I wrote more about what it means to me. Could it be a blog? A video? Well, it turned into a book which I self-published, featuring artwork by Laura Watson. The message is simple: We often overlook a million things that, if you stop to notice, will amaze you with their details. These things we find throughout our world and our lives are a reflection of God’s creativity because He made them all! Find the book on Amazon here.

My second book began before I even knew it. I was at a Nashville dog park chatting with another dog owner, her dog’s name was Bamboo. I filed this in my mind under “dog names I need to remember.” Years later I still had the name tucked away until the perfect time to bring it back. The story in this book features a hound with big ears, of course his name is Bamboo! “The Brave Bamboo” is about a timid puppy who has a chance to become a hero. There’s danger in the back yard and only Bamboo can save the day. Check out his story by picking up a copy on Amazon here!

I can also send you signed copies of either book, just comment below and we can set something up. Thanks for stopping by!

Music from Microsoft Holiday Ad – Dogs in Airplanes

I just happened to catch this ad during Sunday Night Football recently. The commercial is titled “Find Your Joy (A Dog’s Dream)” and among all the tech highlighted, it also shows a dream sequence featuring dogs doing lots of cool things. Very, very cute!

The soundtrack of this ad is a song that’s 25 years old. Yes, that dates it back to 1995. Why does 1995 not seem that long ago? Anyway, the song is “Alright” by Supergrass. The English band formed in 1993 but apparently broke up in 2010. Here is the music video for “Alright.”

Apple HomePod Mini commercial music – winter 2020

Apple is throwing their hat into the home audio ring with the introduction of the HomePod Mini. This will NOT be a review of that product for the entirely valid reason that I don’t have one. But! What I CAN do is shed light on their latest ad and I hope that excites you. I don’t know? What excites you? Here’s the extended version of the ad.

The ad features music from Tierra Whack. The first part of the commercial is backed by her song “Feel Good.” The mood of the ad picks up and then the audience is treated to another song of Tierra’s, this one called “Peppers and Onions.” Both songs are below. How do you feel about the ad? Does it make you want to buy an Apple HomePod Mini?
