I'm tired. I've been tired for two weeks. But today, I am tired and sad. I just ended a lovely conversation with a new friend because I should be getting ready for bed because I've a long day of crisis counseling tomorrow, but I have to let this out.

Over at cleolinda's lj, there's been all kinds of discussion about The Avengers, specifically Loki's use of the word "quim" to describe Natasha, and Joss Whedon's supposed feminism and and words and intent and frankly I'm tired of the whole thing already.

Specifically, this one comment almost inspired me to participate:

I LOVE that movie, and that line ( Read more... )

Over at my very favorite book blog with my least favorite name, Jessa Crispin (my very favorite literary critic regardless of name) briefly touches upon that middle place I get stuck in between seeing and knowing how incredibly messed up this world is while still having to get up every day and go to work and not go batshit insane.  It's a tenuous ( Read more... )

I love my state.  I must, to keep living here despite the rampant hatred and stupidity that controls our destinies.  Y'all didn't know that anti-bullying legislation was geared to further the "homosexual agenda," did you?  Hell, I was just surprised there still was an agenda.  I would like to note that most of the New Orleans area reps voted in ( Read more... )

I cannot talk anymore about my failed attempts at getting a Practicum, how no one is calling me back even, and how this makes me wonder about karma and relive all the shit I've fucked up in the past couple of years.  Talking about this right now makes me want to cry.

I will not talk about anything I've watched on TV this past week, how TV bores the ( Read more... )

So here's the deal.  When I read a book about the love of books, as I recently did, and books I have not read are mentioned, it makes me want to read those books.  As was the case in Among Others regarding Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber.  It so happens that I have been holding onto a copy of the Complete Chronicles, a loaner from my brother (also a ( Read more... )

Purple represents Spirit on the LGBTQ flag and that’s exactly what we’d like all of you to have ( Read more... )

A round-up of all the Mel Gibson mash-ups your twisted little heart could desire.  I believe there may even be a musical one, Ann.

Here is all I'm going to say about the matter:
I've commented before about Gibson, the raving racist asshole.  So, you know, nothing there has changed.  What angers me is how that is the focus of everyone's ire.  He was ( Read more... )

Apparently, I'm incredibly spoiled.  Going to school four days a week is HARD.  Classes have been in session for only two weeks and it already feels like a month.  I'm a big whiny butt.

So, to laugh, I read this.  And I laugh.  That is my way.

I have thoughts about my glorious state's new law requiring ultrasounds for women who are getting an ( Read more... )
