For a while there I was completely not embarrassed to cry in public for any or no reason. I think I've lost that, and I miss it. Stupid societal norms.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We're going to a concert on Halloween, so no trick or treaters for us. (Fleetwood Mac with Christine McVie for the first time in many years- no way we're gonna miss that)

mr. flea just called me at work to say he was at school at the book fair with the kids, and he knows I bought them books this morning as we had agreed I would do, but they want him to buy more books for them, and what should he do? I was like, "Take them home, feed them dinner, do homework and put them to bed. Without buying them more books just because they want you to." I mean, hello? I am so tired of being the only grownup in my house.

What the heck did he think you'd say?? Eesh. Pushover.
I am killing time outside a Starbucks--finished work in one place early but can't meet with the doctor and have her sign things until 5pm. Except all my electronics are running out of battery but the plugs are all in use indoors.
Also, stupid AT&T pushed back the ship date of my phone AGAIN. Now it's the second half of November. Wtf???

So my bad!director migraine returned, and my avoidance of the dentist has come to an end as it is finally clear that it really is tooth related. All of my teeth-grinding has finally paid off. Hello, root canal.

So I've been following the whole #gamergate fiasco, because I know Anita Sarkeesian socially, and I know a ton of people who game.
And the fuckers just doxxed Felicia Day. Because she posted about how the whole thing makes her nervous about dealing with gamers, even though she's a gamer and built a lot of her career on the fact that she's a gamer. Fuckheads.
It's not about punishing women, nooooo.

Jesus, I'd just read her piece. I hope her agents and lawyers and fans come down like fire.
I'm not a gamer, have just the edge of understanding of gamer gates origins and... Fire.

Because books.
What does "doxxed" mean?

Thrive to spite them
And she stated multiple times that she hestiate to say anything becuase of problems she's had with stalkers and peopel finding her personal information.
But they do this to her, becuase it's about a lack of "Journalistic Integrity" with the original issue, so in order to protest a lack of integrity you have to show an extreme lack of integrity and character. (or something).
