(First post in approx. one billion years, and it is being angry at patriarchy, clearly so much has changed. IDK, lots of things have just been sucky lately and today was the slowest day ever at work, so apparently back to livejournal is was ( Read more... )

A few days ago my mother called me while bored between work and band practice to say she'd stopped at a McDonald's. As someone with Opinions, I took that opportunity to rant at her about how they had Young Justice toys but were only putting out the male characters, because they're supposed to be the "boy's Happy Meal" and disregarding how atrocious ( Read more... )

Oh my goodness I am so sick of hearing about how Wonder Woman is wearing pants now what an awesome feminist achievement let's ignore that whole "Themyscira" thing and how patronizing announcements/discussion about this by DC have been. Seriously, Facebook friend, I'll admit to not knowing much about Peter Parker's life since One More Day, and that ( Read more... )

I truly cannot stand my film professor. Believe me, yes, I would much rather have been in your class talking about whatever dumb costume things you were talking about than helping plan a funeral and cleaning out my aunt's house. SERIOUSLY.

Your son is thirteen, he knows every word being used in that book, he was mortified because his dad was standing there watching him ( Read more... )

I am so sick of people hating on women. That's just a fact, and not really what I wanted to talk about right now. In other news, some things recently have reminded me of something that happened while I was home over Thanksgiving, and that happens pretty much any time someone finds out I go to a women's college. ( Someday I will find a way to write angry things and have them still make sense. Today is not that day. And Jane I didn't even say patriarchy once because this is just complaining! )

Saw Milk again today, with my mom. It would have been a significantly better time had the asshole next to me been able to handle people kissing without making comments about how he couldn't watch or saying "oh, god," or making scoffing noises and covering his face with his hat. Also if when I had tried to say something at the end of the movie I had ( Read more... )
