This isn't in BfH, is it?
Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I am totally confused, but pretty glad that I am, because it sounds fairly shitty.
Yeah, smonster, though it feels like the worst of it's over and people are starting to listen to each other.
Well yes, but are we therefore marginalized?
OMG you're right. Damnit, I forgot to be outraged! Is it too late to throw a tantrum?
The rules say you'd have to flounce, and we like you too much here. So sorry, no tantrums.
UGH, FINE.

smonster, you won't be surprised at one of the worst offenders. She still hasn't learned. This woman invented doubling down.
Laura, I laughed too. It was sorely needed.
Huh. Things I didn't expect to happen today: I got asked to be on the Community Advisory Council for a center for people with disabilities. Seems like the center does all kinds of different stuff -- advocacy, research, job training, lots of other things -- and the CAC is a group of disabled people and family members and other people who have meetings four times a year to discuss what the center is doing and what else it could/should be doing. The person who runs it has seen me posting disability rights things in local political groups, and things that this CAC could use more political advocacy. (I'm looking through their webpage, and seeing a couple things that are making me say, "Um, wait a second," but I'll see what it's like.)
I also joined the new (as in, founded two weeks ago) Ohio chapter of ADAPT, and I'd like to go to some of their protests, but the guy in charge has been going through this endless string of, "OK, I'm going to need anyone who can make it in Cincinnati on Tuesday." "New plan: Columbus on Friday." "Cancel that: we're taking a multi-pronged approach, Cincinnati on Monday, Cleveland on Wednesday, and Lexington on Friday." "Cancel everything else! Everybody in Columbus on Wednesday!" Like, dude. We need actual plans here.
