My phone interview today went pretty well.
Hooray! Cause, as you see, we've been trying to get you all psyched up for a career in academia!
Dawn: Any luck? Willow: If you define luck as the absence of success--plenty.
'Touched'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
My mother would slap the pores off my face if I ever spoke to ANYONE like that. Maybe "our" government would make more sense if you just pictured the babbling maniac in front of most public libraries in actual leadership positions. Those are who's in charge right now...Library Conspiracy Theorist and the lady on the bus who's always wicked mad at her daughter-in-law. That's it. It makes me sick. I should make T-shirts..."I went to a state college and all I got was folksy fascism and this crappy t-shirt."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
That sounds potentially promising, Hil. Jobma your way!
Must go to Target now. I am superexcited, because, now that I am insured again, I can get rid of the giant, horrible, fall-off-after-wearing-two-days-when-I-need-to-wear-them-for-a-week, dermatitis-causing, leave 3" circles of red, itchy patchiness on my butt for weeks, generic HRT patches, and go back to the wee clear ones I wear for 2.5 days that stay on and leave no marks.
I HATED THE GENERICS SO MUCH.
Whew. Off now!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Holy fuck, Sox. I just Googled to see what the latest wtf'ery was, and...appalling is just a tiny, measly word that doesn't even come close to expressing it.

Back with new patches, which are $5 cheaper with D's insurance than with my last one, and they are thinner, smaller and even less obtrusive than I remembered.
HELL YEAH.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh, hell NO.
I am appalled, and disgusted. It's bad enough, but the part about forcing rape and incest victims to do so as well? That's another violation, and perhaps even more traumatic than the first victimization.
That, to me, is a human rights violation. That's torturous, lacks compassion, sense, mercy....GOD.
Fuck you, OK legislators. Fuck you with a giant stick infected with syphilis, and I'ma make you kiss it afterwards and call it George. You smug, self-righteous, shit-eating rat-bastards.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Erin, here's the New York Times article:
The Oklahoma Legislature voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to override vetoes of two highly restrictive abortion measures, one making it a law that women undergo an ultrasound and listen to a detailed description of the fetus before having an abortion.
Though other states have passed similar measures forcing women to have ultrasounds, Oklahoma’s law goes further, requiring a doctor or technician to set up the monitor where the woman can see it and describe the heart, limbs and organs of the fetus. No exceptions are made for rape and incest victims.
The second measure passed into law Tuesday protects doctors from malpractice suits if they decide not to inform the parents of a unborn baby that the fetus has birth defects. The intent of the bill is to prevent parents from later suing doctors who withhold information to try to influence them against having an abortion.
It's pretty fucking horrifying. And there's another one making its way through the OK legislature right now that would require women seeking abortions to fill out a long questionnaire about why they want to have an abortion AND THEN THE RESULTS WOULD BE POSTED ONLINE. (With identifying details removed, but still. Just unbelievable.)
