So much stuff...

But I'm ill (fever, with intermittent fever dreams about geometric shapes through which randomised ugandan refugees shake their heads in dissappointment at me from all corners of the globe. plus I have a cough and a headache) and I also don't have the time because of stuff.

Will try to write when I can. later this week.

No More With The Fighting Now Please!

It is an arguement that can only end with tears and no satisfactory resolution! Can we not for once eat the cup cakes of solidarity?



(The first bit does make me wonder how many spartans it takes to lynch one black guy, what wusses, no wonder they don't go for the manwichs, man-on-man action would snap their fragile little aryan bodies like they were so many twigs!)

Err, What?

Twiggy: I think she's very beautiful. I don't like this photograph this week.

Miss J: You're so used to moving, that when you're dead, you're just that: capital D-E-A-D, dead.

Nigel: All the other girls managed to have some sort of spark even in this sort of morbid situation. I think I look at you in this picture, and you actually just look dead. One of the simplest things, like acting dead, can be the most challenging. The problem is that you didn't do anything. You just gave up and thought that that was being dead.

Note to ren:

Will try to answer your questions over weekend, will possibly tie in some socio-economics waffling to the last one though and neatly side step the actual question in the process.

I'm still having trouble picking the second person for the cage match though... Kos goes in, but who goes with him?

As I do keep calling you ren, can I call Mr Evolution "stimpy"? because "mr evolution" reminds me of that cartoon character from jurassic park, and while you sex workers are inscrutable, I'm sure even you can't actually do a talking strand of DNA.

He can be your ambiguously gendered live-in cat (aside from set).

hmm....

Random curiosity

Does anyone know any good books or anything on the (socio)economics of sex work (specifically in third world countries)?

Y'all know victoria wood right?

She's possibly one of the greatest comic geniuses in the world - sort of like sting, a highly multitalented singer/song writer with musical talent and she's funny too.



Well, except unlike sting she's a highly multitalented singer/song writer who can actually play a musical instrument.

She's a great comic writer, has a brilliant feel for comic timing, and is a decent director also.



She also did this wonderful documentary on women's attitudes towards fatness, very interesting, and the narration was excellent.



I was looking for a clip from dinnerladies, but Youtube is teh lame :( You'll have to make do with her eighties and early 90's stuff isntead.

Funny how minions of evil are still slightly better able to do good than the supposed "good guys"

Yeah so a bunch of wyoming Republicans came out in favor of gay marriage, and argued a fucking good case for it.

ETA: BA wins March

The valenti/pollitt thing is, to put none too fine a point on it, immensely stupid, it's like a bunch of people who tried to harness the power of eugenics to "free women" (where "Free" means "doing what I tell you to do biyatch" and "Women" means heteronormative WASPs of any gender except trans) getting sniffy when a bunch of self obsessed bleached assholes point out that the eugenicists haven't been showing the bleached assholes enough inexplicably due respect.

So to "shorter" the whole thing; Pollitt to Valenti: Come back when you've danced on the backs of a few non-rich, non-white, non-heteronormative women before you give me any of that young "diss" of yours young lady!

Ann Clowntaur?

My brain misfired and now I have the mental image of ann coulter wiht big baggy polkadot pants and huge floppy shoes in my head.

gedditoutgedditoutGEDDITOUT!!!!

I am naming any half human, half clown creatures "clowntaurs" from now on, I hope one day to create a internet fetish phenomenon centered around people who wish to be clowntaurs, it shall be awesome and squick out transphobic assbag wannabefeminists. In such shall I rejoice.

A Quick Note

Following on from some things said at Bfp's recently, I am currently reading andrea smith like crazy to get a post supporting the general position Bfp is holding with regards to the Pro-Choice movement (which I will endeavor to condense into a whole lotta swearing and history).

However, if I read one more blogger or commenter go on about how women are just getting abortions because of some really vaguely expressed societal pressure to abort, and how if only women were taught that it's okay to be a mother they wouldn't abort so much I shall scream and beat up Vox Day with his own hair. (The economic things I agree with totally though, keep them coming.)

This is because babies are not toys - if a woman isn't dedicated enough to having a child to actually not abort, she's probably not going to be a very good mother - this isn't me being super judgemental, this is a view created by the fact that I've known enough mothers to know that if you don't have slightly more perseverence than a bent matchstick, you're going to get seriously fucked up by motherhood, and so is the child.

Of course WoC are pressured by everyone from Bill Cosby to Bill O'rly to either get themselves a man or to staple their knees together, but that pressure hasn't, fortunately, actually done much to stop WoC being single mothers.

And for that y'all deserve a salute and a drink, hell, you deserve several at every possible opportunity.

Come on Friday.
