big thank you to Natalia for calling out this bullshit. Ren (and again) and Trin and Dw3t-Hthr too, of course. And moving on to more interesting material, potentially, at SM-feminists.Nothing more to say to Mr. and Mrs. Iconoclast to be, except that I presume then toasters as well as violet wands ar...

such as they are, and such as I have energy for. (I know you will be thrilled to read them, because they are from Me, and as all such things are inherently, endlessly fascinating): She's got a point there, kids, srsly, who was supposed to give a shit in the first place?, gorgeous, ohmyfuckingGOD, sh...

Catching up a bit with my usual blogs, I must've missed this beaut captured by Renegade the first time around: I think that anal sex is also a good way of saying, "I hate myself." I work in the microbiology department of a medical lab, but you don't need to be a microbiologist to know that the rectu...

What she said. The man has been saying goodbye for so long, he’s come to resemble one of those reconstituted rock bands that have been on a farewell tour since 1982. We had exit interviews by the carload and then a final press conference on Monday, in which he reminisced about his arrival on the n...

Yes, I know, "racist" is the worst thing one could ever, ever, ever accuse anyone of being and one must therefore reserve such speculations for, like, actual lynchings, if that ("he's a nice boy! he doesn't have a racist bone in his body! he didn't mean it PERSONALLY. he just got...upset").

And yet, it probably won't cost her much: one gathers her fanbase does not perhaps have the most ummm uhh errm exacting powers of disc...

Strictly in the interest of scientific research, you understand. I may want to design a study, later on. Keeping in mind that we're looking for unifying principles that transcend particular ideologies or "issues," compare and contrast: exhibit 1: These women say they are traumatised. The near imposs...

No, I mean for me, actually, though it might appear--stop me before I post this, I-- oh-- agh. *sigh* okay. Dear Violet, and no doubt a bunch of other similarly inclined people that I don't "know" as well, by proxy more or less: You know, I know it's been a hell of a long time since we've really bee...

This is one of my -very- few commentaries on this sorry clusterfuck of a primary season. Please Maud it will be my last. Dear Hillary: I totally, totally hate you. Please go away now kthxbai. And you know what the bitch of it is? I -didn't- particularly hate you before. Was ready to get behind you o...

Gloucester: They do me wrong, and I will not endure it! Who is it that complains unto the king That I (forsooth) am stern and love them not? By holy Paul, they love his Grace but lightly That fill his ears with such dissentious rumors. Because I cannot flatter and look fair, Smile in men's faces, sm...
