And he’s actually WRONG about how one must fuck for fame in the fashion world. I know plenty of people personally who got there with hard work and talent and by kissing the right asses, not sucking the right dicks.

Two anti-abortion measures head to Kansas governor →
“We’ve always been able to pass … pro-life legislation; it just gets vetoed,” said House Speaker Mike O’Neal, a Hutchinson Republican. “What’s ironic is we now probably have veto-proof numbers and don’t need the numbers because you’ve got a governor who’s willing to sign the legislation.”
One bill going to Brownback would ban all abortions at 22 weeks of pregnancy due to fetal pain unless...
Kansas Consent Bill Requires Both Parents for... →
Laws like this piss me off so much. What if one parent is completely out of the picture? Do you still need to track them down and get consent? What if one parent is abusive? Super-religious? A general asshole?
GAH.
The cat is a little on edge now, by the way. She spent most of last night sleeping right next to me, which rarely happens. Poor kitty, don’t worry. You’re coming too.
I am at work now. I have made the moving-related phone calls I needed to make. Other than buying another roll of tape and scrounging up a few extra boxes, there is nothing I can do about moving stuff until I get home at 10ish tonight.
I have no idea what to do with myself.
I think the daytime cold medicine, or at least it in combination with the cough meds, is some dangerous stuff. I am pretty much stoned out of my mind because of this stuff. Same thing happened yesterday. I think I may need to get different meds, because this stuff is not at all conducive to productivity.
It is hard to pack when you just want to stare at things and be fascinated by them. Also...
The cat seems to be picking up on this whole packing thing, and she does not seem overly pleased.
Also, I think my apartment could be declared a reservation for dust bunnies. Come, dust bunnies, here ye shall be fruitful and multiply, safe from the fearsome vacuum and duster.
I'm having trouble with this whole breathing...
I cannot breathe through my nose because I’m now a walking snot factory. Breathing through my mouth works as long as I’m not trying to hack up a lung… except those times are few and far between.
Blech. This cold needs to get gone.
This cold is moving at an impressive rate.
It started Friday evening as a sore throat. On Saturday it was a really bad sore throat plus a runny nose. Today the sore throat is mostly gone, but my nose is still runny and things have moved into my chest and given me a nice hacking cough.
According to my boyfriend, I’ll either be completely over the cold tomorrow or dead.

– Chuck Palahniuk (via -horrorshow)
I kind of like this quote, but not the very last line. It can be hard to remember the good and sweet things when you’re down, that’s true. But I dislike the idea that you can only learn from pain and suffering, that happiness doesn’t shape us just...

It sucks even when you’re totally over them.
It feels more strange than anything. Though I do wonder if he emailed me last year on my birthday as a sort of “let things go/seek closure before marriage” type deal now.
I didn’t respond to the email at the time, but I did just say congrats...

In Praise of a Gender-Neutral Bible →
feministlibrarian:
“Last week the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible announced plans for its 2011 translation, and it’s gotten a good amount of attention for a book that’s been around for hundreds and hundreds of years. That’s because the new version features a slew of changes with regard to pronouns, seeking a more gender-neutral approach that many evangelical organizations are...

tehblackbirdisflying is hogging all of my love this week!!!!!
Props to la.donna.pietra who’s only been around half the week and has already claimed 2% of my heart!
Aw, this is the first time I’ve been someone’s tumblr crush. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Ngh.
I feel like crap. I think this sore throat is more than just allergies, though I’m also a big baby about sore throats, so maybe not. And I’m either cold or getting chilled, which bodes oh so well. Basically, I want to go home and hide under the blankets for the rest of the day.
/whine.
Dear awesome ladies
Please stop dying. K? K.
My sore throat is probably just due to post-nasal drip from allergies and isn’t anything serious, but it is seriously sucky and painful.
Now is not an okay time to get sick, self. There is packing and moving and unpacking to do next week.

But he did give us Lesbian Shitasses…
Was that him or his wife? Because if it was his wife, we can still say Scott Baio ruins everything and have it remain accurate, and that would be lovely.
dialing-footnoterphone replied to your post: Terry Richardson is the reason we can’t have nice things. Don’t forget Scott Baio. He’s everywhere, ruinin’ everything.
True, true.
amberguessa asked: Fuck Terry Richardson, ruining photos I like because he took them! There are some JGL photos I really like, but don't reblog or save, because they're by him. GRRRRRR

I’ve never heard that thing about women walking on the inside of the sidewalk? What? Is that so we can see the window displays better or to prevent some dastardly cad snatching us into his carriage?
I think it’s to protect the woman from getting splashed by water/refuse when a carriage passes or something like that. Though I think I’ve also heard an explanation involving...

Scott Adams wrote this post today, March 7 2011, on his blog and then deleted it.
The topic my readers most want me to address is something called men’s rights. (See previous post.) This is a surprisingly good topic. It’s dangerous. It’s relevant. It isn’t…

Jeans suggestions?
I need new jeans, and I need them soon, since even my formerly skinny jeans are a little too loose now.
My major problem is fit. It seems like every pair of jeans I try on gaps in the back, especially when I sit down. I’m also looking for straight-leg or slightly skinny jeans, so that adds a whole extra quandary to the mix. I *thought* I was victorious when I went to Loft during my break...
io9 review of Sucker Punch →
Well, shit.
I was super excited when I first saw the trailer, and as I learned more about the movie I go warier and warier, and now I’m just disappointed and frustrated. I should have known better than to hope for something cool from the man who omitted the giant squid.

No plot, no character depth for any of them (especially the girls), a handful of cool action scenes, excessive DV and assault triggers, terrible script, sexually exploitative costumes.
It’s hilariously bad except it’s also deeply, deeply exploitative. It was only redeemed by my friends all…
Dammit. At home viewing while slightly tipsy it is, then. Because I do...

The reviews coming out seem to be… very bad. And the movie sounds exploitative in ways that go above and beyond sexism.
Yeah, I’m looking at some of the reviews now and I’m having more and more concerns.
I know I will ultimately see it, but maybe not in a theater. I may or may not end up yelling...

Mental illness porn parading as female empowerment is a cinematic trend that needs to go, no?

Exactly. I will not be watching Sucker Punch.
This is depressing, I got really excited to see it because it LOOKS awesome.
SAD.
Gah. I’m so torn about this movie. Is it mental illness...

And this is why I’m torn about my desire to see this movie. On one hand, yes, I do like that. (Please see my fondness of all Angelina Jolie action movies.) On the other hand, I feel guilty, not necessarily for liking that, but for...
