Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?  

[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.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

If I could find the control knobs for the Universe, I have that and a few other things sorted out right away.

FWIW, I vote for you controlling the knobs of the Universe.

Seska, I'm sorry you're going through so many hoops and loops. As for feminism: Bell Hooks?

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

As for feminism: Bell Hooks?

Oh yes, I'm reading (and much enjoying!) all the key theorists. I'll mainly get to them in later sessions, though. The first lecture/seminar is an introduction to feminism, including the history of the women's movement. I need some activities to get them talking about feminism. I have lots in mind for later sessions (I can't wait for the 'women in the media' session, when I'll be showing many film and advertising clips), but I'm a bit stuck for basic stuff. The stereotyping thing isn't bad. I might ask them to guess at statistics relating to women and then show them the real ones, e.g. What's the pay gap between women and men in the workforce? What percentage of MPs are female? etc.

{{{quester}}} I'm so sorry. I hope you can figure something out.

{{{smonster}}} Feel better.

As of right now TCG's work is opening at noon. I'm hoping that will change before he has to leave because it looks nasty out.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Sadly, all I've got is a universal remote. While it's great for operating the tv, I have yet to find the buttons that alter time, speed up the harvest, or teleport anybody off this rock.

Seska, I don't have anything useful to say, other than I hope you do enjoy your class, and I'm still vibing for that gov't agency to have rectal-cranial inversion therapy and provide you the funding you need for an assistant.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Heck, all Windsparrow really needs is one of those devices the evil Kirk owned in the Mirror Universe.

Mostly I really wish the mute button worked on people.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

FF would help sometimes, too.

quester, I hope you get your medical stuff worked out. Sometimes we just need a hard deadline. I know if I'm dragging my feet on something, that's all that will make me face it.

Jilli, sending masses of good thoughts to your mom, dad, and you and Pete.

smonster, magical get-well vibes.

sj, no-work day for TCG.

Daniel, I'm glad the accident was no worse and that you're okay. And that the tie rod was in good shape before it happened.

Seska, continued hopes that you'll get your uni stuff sorted to your best scenario.

Jessica, the baby is adorable, and I love what a proud big brother Dylan looks like in those pictures.

Aeryn: still adorable. I notice that is some of those pictures, only Dylan looks awake.

I would like fast forward and undo on my life, please.
