For me, it is the calculus of "when I break down on the side of the road, if a guy stops, I'm staying in my locked car. Woman with a kid? I'll get out." If the security guard in the garage a few weeks back had been female, I wouldn't have felt so threatened.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

I don't think I have that kind of awareness, really, and guess what? If I get raped, it's still not on me.
oh yes! I totally don't have that awareness. But I also don't leave my house alone after dark.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
My officemate (a guy) had never.really.thought.about.it. Cause he didn't have to.
My org is failing to investigate an allegation of sexual harassment in an epic fucking way, including talking to the accused but not the victim, and leaving the two of them alone on a fucking jobsite. And somehow "It turned out to be nothing." I will be talking to HR lady on Monday (she's out of town).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Man, I look at footage of the Grammy reporter that became incoherent during the broadcast and it makes me verklempt. Fucking migraines.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Is that what it was? The last I'd heard they were speculating about a stroke. Jeez.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Fuck Migraines!
In much more shallow news, I am watching the new Criminal minds: Suspect Behavior.
I'm not exactly impressed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I gets the severe stupids when it gets bad, and sometimes messed up vision, but I've never had impaired speech. Watching that footage gave me a freakout. I never thought I'd say it, but I like what I have better.

Now tagless for your comfort.
This was my friend's view of the Walker press conference. I wish he had chucked a shoe at his head.
