This week's blog post concerns some false and sweeping generalizations about M/M writers made in a Lambda Literary op-ed. Guys, apparently I've been posing as a gay man! Because for starters, all M/M writers take male pennames. It's a fact.

You're probably thinking this is going to be sarcastic, but it's not. I love LJ. I've had a home here for eight years, and met some of my best friends through this community and various fandoms. I visit my flist every day unless I'm away or not turning on my computer to take a break. LJ is a big part of my life, because fandom is a big part of my ( Read more... )

Dear KGB/Evil Russian Hackers:

Please give us a break. We have things to say! People to talk to! Boys to slash! Can't you just go drag dissidents out of their homes in the dark of night and send them to Siberian gulags like in the good old days?

Dasvidania,

Got a call this afternoon from a man with a thick Indian accent claiming to be from "Windows." He said it was very urgent and they had a report that my computer is infected with malware ( Read more... )

Had a great vacation in NYC. Post will have to wait because some motherfucking asshole just stole my fucking new wallet from my purse while our dept was in a meeting. He or she also stole the wallets of two of my co-workers ( Read more... )

I've been looking forward to the HBO adaptation of Game of Thrones for months now. Little did I know that no women are interested in this show! Silly me! So glad Ginia Bellafante could set me straight in the NYT.

Thanks to deeablo for passing on a link that is the subject of this week's blog post. It involves a gay romance story being deemed unacceptable for teen readers because it's "alternative sexuality," and a lot of fail on the part of the editor and publishers -- who say they have no association with the editor, yet stand behind her 100%. Er, how does that ( Read more... )

I hate Future Shop so, so much. The service is so spectacularly shitty. Not only did no one come over to ask if they could help (and my friend and I were examining Blu Ray players for a good 10 minutes), but there were three Samsung 5300 players on the bottom shelf with no price, and no corresponding floor model, etc. So we finally called someone ( Read more... )

Okay, let's talk about how hackmaster extraordinaire David E. Kelley is turning Wonder Woman into Batman:

TV’s new Wonder Woman will have Palicki playing no less than three “roles ( Read more... )

First off, since Monday, the media has been frothing at the mouth about the huge snowstorm coming last night. When I woke up this morning and looked outside, I was unimpressed. We've had way more snow in the past, people. Growing up in the east end of Toronto (aka Scarborough for you locals), I never once in my entire childhood had a snow day. Yet ( Read more... )
