When the NRA releases a statement saying Trayvon should have had a gun
I can't even process this. Or deal with the six thousand inappropriate jokes that come to mind.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Sorry, my mind is in a dark place today.
And, at least based on current events/headlines, not without reason.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did a music thing happen today? My tumblr dash is full of people I don't recognise.
Oh, and Justin Bieber. I would like to be all "no comment" but over 50% of the pictures I see drive me into insta-shallow-rage. How so consistent, douchenozzle?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am so glad that my Uncle Fuck Nut has been so quiet on the whole Zimmerman case. I'm telling myself it's not just him trying to be socially appropriate--as clearly he has few filters there--and that he actually finds the case too complex for a glib comment.

I play a fun game of wondering which of my relatives are pro-Zimmerman. I'm too pessimistic to posit an empty set.
My sister sent me a retelling of "public shaming" by my mother, but it was effectively that my mother heckled her at a talk, by fake whispering "why are social science questions so LONG???" after dear Sav asked her question.
They were sitting separately, and apparently people were surprised and then charmed to find out the relationship.
I am sometimes really glad my parents are nowhere near my life 358 days out of the year.

I'm trying to figure out why the verdict, this case felt so personal. This is one publicized case out of how many across the nation? There are too many people dying from the stupid behavior of others - both in racially charged situations and not.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
it's like Rodney King, in my view. It was so cut and dried. Not really a lot of nuance. RK got a huge ass beating he didn't deserve and it was all on video.
TM was stalked & killed. His killer admitted this several times.
Both Black men, both set upon because they were Black men and use of force was not warranted.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay sara for the re-fi.

And it's on show to not just the entire country, but the world is waiting to see what justice looks like, and unfortunately few people are surprised.

In really important news, I'm trying to decide if I should hold off going completely bald until my Christmas hols, or is it something I can try at work? I could shave my head Friday evening, and I'd have some stubble by Monday morning, it wouldn't be way different from my normal haircut.
Finally the baldblackbeauties tumblr posted a bald woman, so I feel encouraged.
