A level 90 Wow Paladin

I know a lot of people are saying a preference for lighter skin on women is all about colonialism and all because of Europeans, but if you look at ancient art from a lot of cultures before they had any significant exposure to anything "Eurpopean," you see that many of them consistently depicted women as having lighter…

I'm not sure I believe her. Come, we were all 14 and keen to twisting reality and words. Also, I just looked at the store. It's for juniors (and carries horrendous things), their biggest size is 14 it seems. Most people stop shopping at juniors stores by 14 because they want more stylish options but also because of…

YOU CAN'T SIT WITH US, MACKLEMORE.

That's my favorite thing about this show - she's presented as a traditional protagonist, the woman the audience is supposed to relate to, the woman through whose eyes we get to know everyone else (and I bet that's part of how it was sold). But that's a lie!

Nope. Pretty white girl is what gets them in the door, still.

Sigh. Okay. I'm not Catholic, but I have educated myself on what the Catholic catechism says on this. Keep in mind that I am not agreeing with the Catholic stance, I'm just clarifying that what he said was completely in line with Catholic teaching and nothing new, radical, or progressive.

Wow. I am also disappointed in their verdict and wish that George Zimmerman had been punished, but the amount of, frankly, uninformed and unadulterated hatred toward this group of anonymous women sickens me. They rendered a verdict that is not popular and does not make sense to many of us. They took steps within 24…

oh jezebel, fuck this noise. that juror's comments? are the footnotes that support the claim "not guilty". and these four? agreed with her in deliberation. caved to her when shit got rough. they don't get to back away now that that juror cut through all the bullshit to the painful, racist truth to their verdict.

I already posted this over on Gawker, but NyMag's response, The Seven Types of Women You Meet in Hookup Culture Trend Stories, hits the nail on the head with the seventh type of woman, who is pretty much the reason these stories get written:

Except that in no way represents what the evidence suggests actually happened. Or put another way, it's accurate if you don't mind glaring omissions in the narrative.

It just hit me that today is my mother's birthday, so I'm thinking of her. She passed away in January. Happy Birthday, Mom. You were like Martha in a good way, w/o the perfectionistic BS.

I could not stomach Martha Stewart's WASP-y perfection until she went to jail, came out wearing a shawl that the other inmates had made her during her stay, and was all like "Appeal my conviction? Fuck that, I have an empire to rebuild! I've got shit to do!"

The next article will be about how Doctor Who fist-bumped someone, therefore he's very dudebro.

thank you - it pisses me off so much when people bitch about "appropriating" culture. If you're in fucking America, guess what? That's what America is fucking about. People "appropriate" parts of my cultural heritage all the time and I don't give a shit, because it's the goddamn "melting" pot, not the "I'm entitled…

No, I think "Born This Way" is actually a really annoying shallow song. It is to the fight for queer rights what 90s girl power was to feminism. It minimizes the diversity of queer experiences and denies any possibility that queerness can have anything to do with psychosexual development and not purely biology (ie:…

Now we have an actual action by Justice Kennedy, per SCOTUSBlog:

Ugh, GLAAD really annoys me sometimes.

We'll just say:

I few times I have accidentally tuned the radio to a Christian rock station, and have been shocked at the seemingly sexually explicit lyrics "i felt him insiiiiide of meeee....." before realizing what I was listening to.
