But really, this article about The Hunger Games spoke to me on a deep level. And I would definitely choose Alice from Resident Evil (no matter how silly the movies are) over Katniss if the zombies were coming. Hell, I'd want Rayne even more.  I also do not like Twilight or THG, and it's an instinctive dislike; I don't want to read a book with ( Read more... )

This is how much the so-called "pro-life" people hate women.

We are nothing more than incubators.  We have no rights, not even the right to our own lives.

Just remember that, when someone tries to tell you that all women who want abortions are "lazy sluts who couldn't keep their legs closed".*

We do not require men to provide blood, tissue, nutrients ( Read more... )

When I work on a project that takes up a lot of my time, I often have to deal with a vague sense of guilt that I'm not working on something more practical.  But as Bob said to me the other day "you can work on projects all you want, now".  And he's right.  Other than errands and general upkeep and building things, my time is free to work on all ( Read more... )

OMG I love my husband, I love my husband ilovemyhusbandilovemyhusbandilovehimlovehimlovehim...

As I have said here before, I'm a terrible housekeeper.  If it were left to me, the carpets would get vacuumed only if we were expecting guests, the bathrooms would be terrifying, and the dishes would sit in the sink for months*.

It's not deliberate; I just ( Read more... )

So, last night on American Idol, in between multiple ads for next week's trimphant return of Glee: Totes pushing all the boundaries, we are really edgy you guys I swear, Randy, Simon, Ellen, and NotPaula managed to spend a good minute and a half mentioning Glee in the damn show.

( I do not see any boundaries being pushed... )

I was reading a Newsweek article from March of last year about how young girls are spending more money at a younger age on beauty treatments (and feeling worse about their bodies, which sucks so bad I can't tell you), and it makes me sad, but I understand their motivations.  I, too, use a $100 facial "serum", use $40 soap, and $40 moisturizer.  I ( Read more... )

Okay, so in honour of it being Friday, and me being at work, I'm going to post on something I don't think I've posted about before, and it's about time I rectified that.

I believe in the basic rights of all transgender people. I believe that we, as a society, a nation, and as a world cannot continue to deny anyone the same rights and dignities ( Read more... )

There's an interesting article at Pandagon (read the update, too) about a discussion on the PUA (Pick-Up Artist) movement, and how it is really, really, really misogynistic and evil, and doesn't seem to actually help guys get laid, but does give them a chance to "revenge" themselves on "stuck-up bitches" who won't have sex with them.  This is ( Read more... )

Okay guys, seriously now, FFS.

I promise you, I like a compliment as much as anyone, and yes, today I was looking particularly nice in my silk Laura Ashley dress that I found at the thrift store for $10.

(I had to throw that in there.  It is a fabulous dress.  My shoes were pretty hot, too.)

However, I swear sometimes, you guys just blurt out whatever ( Read more... )
