Now isn’t that interesting.
Ugh.
I realized something this weekend.
I watched the Rifftrax for Breaking Dawn p. 1 (amazing) and started thinking about SMeyers’ vampires. Eerily beautiful, smart, well-educated, well-spoken, awake at all times.
And I got to thinking.
Who do I know like that?
There is a person on Tumblr. A person who posts at all hours of the night, is extremely smart and well-educated AND their GPOYs always look like a model shoot, even...
Woman: Can I have birth control?
Republicans: No.
Woman: I got pregnant because I didn't have birth control and I don't want the fetus. Can I have an abortion?
Republicans: No.
Woman: I gave birth to my child but since I wasn't expecting it, I can't afford daycare. Can I have help paying for it?
Republicans: No.

which sounds like the BEST DAY EVER. If any of you lovelies are participating, my bookstore is on there (you know the one), and I’m working tomorrow, so be sure to say HAY. I’ll be sure to wear a flouncy dress for the occasion.
ETA:
I really wish SF and LA were closer together. But next time I visit my in-laws I’m totally checking out your bookstore!!!

But Buckbeak didn’t die? They didn’t resurrect him!
That’s true. But without the time turner he *would* have died. As George Takei said: (he posted this image on his facebook) “Time travel is tricky, and inevitably inconsistently applied.”
This has a little over 500 signatures. You guys... →

What HB2675 will do: Mandate that university students without a national merit scholarship or an athletic scholarship to pay a $2,000 tuition payment out of pocket. This will exempt all scholarships, grants, and forms of financial aid.
Again, AZ seems to be a pro in setting bad examples for other states.

Honestly, I don’t think you’re going to get answers to your questions. It’s really tricky. Would it be logistically possible for you to invite WOC to start writing for stfuc? That’d be the best possible solution, imo.
Yeah, there aren’t any easy or straightforward answers to those...

More thoughts later am phone tumbling now but one quick thing? The Marcotte stuff is WAY older/deeper than the one post, she’s been called out for cherry picking from WOC blogs w/o attribution for a long time, hence the reaction to her specifically.
Ah OK, I did not know that. Thank you!
That was kind of a heavy post for a Friday...
I want to have a conversation about insectionality...
I don’t want to have it over on the ol’ political blog just yet. This is my personal blog and I know a lot of you here are queer and/or PoC and I really want to get some input from all y’all. This is a lot of stuff I’ve been thinking about for the past few days and I apologize in advance for my jumbled ramblings.
I am a white cis lady feminist blogger. I’ve done some...

oh plus he’s basically making me fire the intern #NOTMYDEPARTMENT
So, I’ve been full of Feelings all week, and basically had the crying equivalent of blue balls, so I told Joe I’m smoking and crying on the couch tonight just to get it out of my system. Ideally I’d like to...

You'd all trust me to be your stockbroker, right?
I’ll put all of your money into companies that make boxed wine, cat food and diet soda.
Does anyone have that gif from the Simpsons when the stockbroker asks Homer how he thinks the stock market works?

And maybe some boxed wine and nail polish, too. I’m not particularly into them, but everyone else here seems to love them both.

As members of Georgia’s House of Representatives debate whether to prohibit abortions for women more than 20 weeks pregnant, House Democrats planned to introduce their own reproductive rights plan: No more vasectomies that leave “thousands of children … deprived of birth.”
