Random Stuff 13
1)
2) Sweet sarsaparilla! I missed my ten years anniversary! (And after my five year one was so fun...) But, to be fair, I haven't been here a lot, getting sucked into tumblr as well as having a lot of RL-things going on. So I have missed these recent updates and such. But on the other hand, I have also come to realize that I prefer the LJ-system generally to tumblr. Like, it's harder to do fandom communities and stuff on tumblr. And I have to admit, that the whole reblogging thing doesn't challenge my creativity so much. (Probably why I got sucked in, when you have one million things to worry about, it's nice not to have to do a lot of writing to get my opinions across.)
3) One tumblr-meme that I find especially ridiculous (and kind of symptomatic of the whole site's black and white morality thing) is the "your fave is problematic" thing. Because if you like the work of a celebrity/entertainer/blogger, then you immediately become personally responsible for all their moral weaknesses, or blunderings. Or just the fact that any act, especially ones taken out of context, can mar a person as problematic for life. I just.. I don't get it? People honestly doesn't see how this works as a perfect derailment tactic? Like, "oh you have an opinion on this? too bad you're problematic af!" You see? It's goddamn transparent some times, because there's so much hypocrisy in which faves are problematic and which ones are not.
Sorry for the rant. It's just if I posted this on tumblr, I would get fifty reblogs telling me that I'm problematic because I use the word monosexism or some thing. (There's a whole divide on whether it is a legitimate structural oppression of multiple-gender-sexuals, or just infighting within the queer community. I say it's the former leading into the latter, because people think it's about lumping homosexuals with heterosexuals, and it's really not because the oppression is still from the same roots as homophobia and biphobia and cissexism and all of that.)
4) I am three steps away from a degree in engineering. Two courses and a thesis. So freaking close.
5) I went to London with my brother and saw Benedict Cumberbatch play Hamlet. It was pretty awesome, because you know. Never seen a Shakespeare play before and all. Unfortunately we both got colds, so I ended up just hoping my supply of paper napkins would last me the whole way through.
6) I love to ramble.
7) This feels like a solid Random Stuff post. Like the good old days!
