Shit's all sorts of different now.

. He keeps promising to take me to a game so I can be rugby queen, but he is a liar
umm, perhaps you do not want to be rugby queen. Around here, they put you on their shoulders and sing rude songs at you until you pour beer on them. Or maybe you'd like that.

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
I was just reading this piece in Salon about journalists dealing with the immediate feedback from the 'net. I'm not exactly sure what the point was, because sometimes I'm dumb, but I just kept thinking, "Dude, where have you been?"
All I got from it was that sometimes letters are good and have merit, and there are a lot of jackholes on the internet.
Oh Salon, what has become of you?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I tried to read that story, but it was three pages of "Writing is HARD" and "People are MEAN" and tl;dr.

TOTALLY, Dana.
I hate that "writing is hard" horseshit.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It's like that at these games with the added bonus of the dirty, sweaty men having to do everything you say, as long as you don't make them leave the beer.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I fail to see the problem with that scenario.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
See? Trouble.

I have a real problem with articles that set up a dichotomy between "writers" and "bloggers." I mean, bloggers write, and many writers blog. It's like they think there are some wild gang of space-alien bloggers out there. I'm kind of surprised that Salon went there - hello, you are an ONLINE magazine.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is, um... a terrible Bridal meltdown after her haircut (YouTube video) [link]
It's... um... very sad. There's screaming and lots of crying and some swearing and the bride eventually cuts her own hair and then melts down some more....
The bride enters at 1:41 into it, so you can skip to that if you want.
edit: There's debate as to whether it's real or fake....
