Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, time for porn!

NSFW, of course.

Typewriter Erotica, 1920s

I never would have guessed that typewriter erotica was a thing in the 1920s....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You know when you've been trying to remember something for nigh on 20 years, and you toss out some neighbouring information, and someone steps up with information you didn't even have enough data to find in google or *frame* the question?

Thanks to a poster on IO9 who's about my age and also went to high school in Britain, I now remember that it was the 380z that was our first computer in the computer room. I could remember precisely what it looked like ( [link] -- black box with handles and two floppy drives), but totally blank on the name. I need to put this down in Evernote for the next time my brain cells rot out from underneath me.

OK, no, no spider-lamps on the ceiling. I'd be half asleep and spot it at night and I'd probably shoot it.

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 walking back from a screening of Missrepresentation, a documentary about how media portrayals of women is damaging to girls (shout out to Girls, Inc at the end FYI), and walked past a dude speaking to someone else who said, "what do you expect, it was put on by the Women's Harpy Club."

It was sponsored by the Director's Advisory Council for Women.

I don't know whether I'm angrier at the dude, or myself for not speaking up. Why did I not speak up? WTF?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

oh Kat, I'm sorry to hear the surgery didn't work out. That girl of yours is amazing. Sending all of you much love, plus house~ma.

And Allyson, I'm gonna go for being angrier at the dude. I know I would have shut down in the face of that kind of comment because it would either be shut down or go all Hulk on him. "Harpy?!? I'll show you what a harpy looks like!"

Damn, now I wish I were part harpy.

Why did I not speak up?

Because it takes a few seconds to recover from the impact of extreme stupid?

They should offer comeback classes in the style of Krav, where they spin you around, shut out the lights, and stick their foot up your ass while saying some sexist shit and you have to come up with awesome one-liners in 5 seconds in order to get your blue belt in street harassment comebacks.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I know I would have shut down in the face of that kind of comment because it would either be shut down or go all Hulk on him. "Harpy?!? I'll show you what a harpy looks like!"

I vote for following him to a restaurant, blinding him (with pepper juice), and stealing his food.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, definitely angrier at the dude.

Related question: Who should I be madder at, my grandmother for making possibly the first racist comment I've ever heard from her, or myself, for not calling her on it?
