Me: I'm tired.
Mother: Oh, do you not want to go?
Me: Oh no, I have the energy to go. I just don't have the energy to take a shower.

I got 16. Woah.
7. Really didn’t think it would be that low, and now I feel strange. I need to retake that one later and see if the scores are similar.
It’s Simon Baron-Cohen’s test. He defines empathy in a ridiculous way that has nothing to do with popular ideas of what empathy means, and then equivocates on...

Nothing is ever going to get better.
And I’m too weak to do anything.
And nothing in this world will ever change.
No matter what I write, it won’t do anything.
When I was your age, I was pretty sure nothing would ever get better for me, and now almost two decades later, it turns out to a large extent I was right: the PTSD is still with me, the chronic fatigue syndrome and...
Doctor Who, Sexism and Criticising Popular Things →
Posted by mediocredave on December 28, 2011
I have become everything I feared; I’m writing a blog aboutDoctor Who.
This relates to the 2011 Christmas day episode and the debates about sexism that it sparked, but so many common arguments came up that it provides a pretty good template for discussing prejudice in entertainment in general. Bear with me while I tackle the specifics of the...

Omg, I'm so tired!
It’s only, like 7:15 p.m. and I’m totally turning into a zombie. I guess I got more warn out from the weekend’s activities* than I realized. Curls up on the couch with some ♥silk♥ to cuddle. :)
*Seattle Ace movie night on Saturday in my living room, and my monthly knitting circle on Sunday afternoon.
Tell Canada's Catholic Schools: "Gay" Is Not a... →
aiiim:
Adolescence can be a painful rite of passage. And some don’t make it through. One such teen was fifteen-year old Canadian Marjorie Raymond, who committed suicide when school bullying became more than she could take. Responding to similar events, Ontario has passed anti-bullying measures that encourage gay-straight alliance clubs in its public schools. But the province’s Catholic...

Myth of the predatory transgender (tw: talk of...
alexisisnot:
I really want to trace this because it keeps coming up again and again. Most of the time it surfaces in reference to women’s bathrooms, which are supposed to be the stomping ground of hordes of violent transwomen just waiting to get their hands on an unsuspecting victim. I’ve seen it come up recently in the wake of the whole Macy’s fitting room scandal, even though Natalie Johnson’s...

Macys fires girl for discrimination against a transgender person
Man, this girl is booooooold. Damn. Hey, for your religious views, fine, but freedom of AND from religion means you can express yourself by, say, refusing to serve said person, but not going over and enforcing your views on them. Jsyk lady.
