So...my sister just discovered TV Tropes, and I did what I had to do, and now I feel kinda mean.
But I absolutely could not read her emails gushing about the site.
I kinda wish for a second that we had a more distant relationship, where she could have had time to enjoy the site, because lord knows there's no chance of me being able to sit on my hands.
Man, they're asking us to do some development to handle some big business changes that come into effect next week, but we've been
trying
to make these business changes for two years, and this has been coming down the pike for a couple months. Why are they working out
today
that we need to code for it? They could have, at least, told us this was a decent possibility so that we could be more prepared. Jesus. Everything they're suggesting right now us counter to all our architectural decisions that have been in place since I've been there.
I hate this. This is exactly where I look the most inflexible and difficult. I need to relax.
conservative talking points that aren't in the briefs...
Assumes facts not in evidence -
The courts have always been political. The idea of a court that just "calls balls and strikes" is laughable when you to Supreme court level. And for the most part it has been the most reactionary branch of government. We had decade or so that was an exception under the Warren court, but honestly, the Dred Scott decision is more typical. Dred Scott, corporate personhood, upholding Jim Crow for more than a century, striking down important parts of the New Deal, Bush Vs. Gore, Citizens United, that is typical of the history of the Supreme Court.
[Edit] Of cxourse the Warren court was political too - just a different politics.
Oh no, I'm so sad Adrienne Rich has died. She was my favorite poet.

One of my fandom friends got hired by them. I had no idea what to say when she told us.

"Go to the address on your paycheque and take pictures!"
No? Requires too much context?
Just tripping through my new-favourite-tumblr and stumbled onto a false equivalence between bondage and subjugation. Without source information for me to see if she's objecting to a consensual scenario, or something objectifying or what.
The tv tropes thing is such a bizarre part of our history. I'm still here. I feel totally broken.
I got ass-cappy on my sister, when she was just trying to enjoy her first hit. It was mean. But I don't let go easily.
Aw, Allyson. Has your dad, I dunno, apologized?
