Giles ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think there's a lot of "poisoning" of "our space" by the "other" when it comes to majority privilege -- it's just that the majority has most of the spaces, and when it gets pissy, it gets pissy big.
There are also, apparently, a lot of quotation marks.
Can we skip over today?
Now I get to worry about people talking about me all weekend long....
This is what they will say.
"Sophia was so smart to get out of this 2 day hell."
Can we skip over today?
Gods, yes.
Let's go straight to tomorrow, which is not only THE WEEKEND but also MY BIRTHDAY. It will be a much better day.
Happy Birthday-eve, Jessica!
I don't hang out in fanfic circles- are there a lot of guys as idiotic as this woman describes?
I'm not in fanfic circles, either, but I do see a lot of that same sort of response whenever any women found a "women-oriented" theater. There's a lot of mocking and rolling-of-eyes, and demands for inclusion, because if excluding women is wrong, so is excluding men.
I vote that Jessica gets her way on this.
Was it the guy who is OMG SO OPPRESSED because women hold all the power in America?
His lj name is houster_gold. The one who doesn't watch TV yet insists that us womens RESPECT HIS AUTHORITAH.
The best part, I think, is when he and his little friends went apeshit over what he thought was implied homophobia. But since he knows everything there is to know about everything ever (why should he cite? he's the expert here!), he didn't realize that "honey" has long been used as a patronizing term for women, and wasn't about how many rubber duckies he has in his closet.
Oh, lovely, my pharmacy was robbed last night for Oxycontin. Guy had a gun. Don't shoot my pharmacists, dammit!

Wow, that sounds like quality discourse.
I have to say, I'm suddenly getting a crash course in macro-projects, and they way they lumber but can still change direction with blinding speed. Some weeks my status reports are completely unrecognisable from the weeks before -- but at least I'm picking up the phone more often and calling strangers to ask them what they mean.
Two big payoffs -- you get tone, and there's no paper trail.
Off to find that business continuity document. Page 31 is a real keeper.
