Joss is god, apparently:
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Is that from your doc, Kevin? It looks really nice so far!

Your tag here.

Ok, so I was wondering what Kevin's DOCTOR had to do with Firefly.
::facepalm:: DOCUMENTARY, of course...

Yeah, it's the Best Buy one. They are too American to be British ;)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The fan table at Comic-Con raised $12,374.79 for Equality Now, an organization that strives to protect the human rights of women.
Pretty sweet.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
Joss said nice things about it:
There's no way I'm not weighing in on this one.
I am SO proud and grateful that this is where the energy of the Browncoats is going. Buffy and Angel fans have always distinguished themselves through their altruism, but this hits close to home in a way probably none of you know.
My mother started what I believe was the first highschool chapter of Amnesty International. She was a history teacher, and started a feminism course as well (she also directed plays -- not so much the slacker). Probably her favorite student (and she had many that she loved) was Jessica Neuwirth. Jessica went on to work as a lawyer for Amnesty International and then started Equality Now, which used the Amnesty model to combat gender-based offenses. Jessica is as kind, intelligent and dedicated as anyone I've ever known (and would probably cringe to read any of this.) The idea that my work is on a wavelength with Equality Now's agenda is as gratifying as anything I could wish for. But for the fans to take an active role in helping out this under-recognised cause, and on such a grand scale... it means more than I can say. I have said, in point of fact, much more than I usually would in this forum, but I can't contain my appreciation. My mother would have been so pleased.
There are two ways to fight a battle like ours. One is to whisper in the ear of the masses, try subtlely and gradually to change the gender expectations and mythic structures of our culture. That's me. The other is to step up and confront the thousands of atrocities that are taking place around the world on an immediate, one-by-one basis. That's a great deal harder, and that's Equality Now. It's not about politics; it's about basic human decency. And it's more important than... well, than that movie I keep telling everyone to see.
Thank you to the tireless Browncoats and everyone who donated, bid or lifted a finger to raise this money, for making my work mean more than it ever did, even to me.

Oh, that was wonderful to read.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My gosh, that actually brought tears to my eyes. I never even heard of Equalkity Now, and now I think I may join. I'm already an Amnesty Intl member, might as well add another.
