Oh god. I have friends who I think intelligent until they post about vaccines. And then . . . I wish I had a gif for my feelings.

Oh dear. Last week was pretty crappy for me personally and that doesn't look like it will end any time soon. And now this week looks crappy on a INTERNATIONAL level.

They are very upset for what he did, and for them they've not gotten really a lot of support as far as that goes. It's a military town, damn near everyone has someone in the military. It's not considered particularly special here and there's a lot more cynism here about the military than in regular town USA. I'm not…

So my little brother is an abusive a-hole. I've known that for awhile, since he started turning that way when we were both teenagers. For the last two years he was at home he psychologically abused me, and would have physically abused me if some folks hadn't been there to stop it. But no on else has known and frankly…

Bless your heart. My ruler has poked hr queenly head out of the covers to thank you herself.

Right now, I'm trying hard not to binge on GoT, Doctor Who, and Community. The last on is a surprise, since most of the time I'm not a comedy person. It's not that I don't like funny things, it's just what passes for funny now that disappoints me. And Community has charmed me by being a wildly funny and heartfelt…

History is a good idea. I use that all the time since sometimes around here it's sometimes hard for me to tell sarcasm from trolling.

I really, hate that. Like I'm fairly new here and I've only commented when I felt I had something constructive to say and now mine are grayed out and ignored. Makes me a tad sad.

I get this. In theory, I've a "it's okay as long as it's harming no one." With things like this there's a lot more icky noises made. And I refuse to hold the baby. I'm not that big a fan of it in the first place (I'm a known klutz, who would let me hold something they like ever?) let alone with a placenta.

I don't know what it is for China Glaze, but every periode I use "Sally Hansen Hard As Nails" in plum. You would think it would be say a dark purple but nope. Periode blood.

Seriously, I'm extremely feminist and I can't muster any caring about this. Most of the time I loath it when people say this, "But there are bigger fish to fry here." Once we stop the bigger injustices, things like the cereal asile will probably sort itself out without us worrying about it.

I think I consumed most of the sugar I will ever eat in the first ten years of my life. Now it's all like reasonable not eating marshmallows at breakfast. There's cereals that involves thing like brain, and oatmeal and the like. Which I rarely eat being grownup enough to appreciate a warm piece of toast rather than…

I don't think these people understand that pickiness is kind of an insult. That you should be grateful for any attention. I used to think that way when I was a child because I thought myself ugly and anyone who wanted me must be looking beyond the orge. But I was wrong about that. I've gotten a lot more attention than…

I know. I'm actually kind of enjoying be single when people don't bring it up. My life is still worthwhile even without a dude in it. I have fun. I enjoy the outdoors, music, plays food, drink, my pets, friends, and writing. All this with the added bonus of I get to be really eccentric without anyone commenting…

I'm so sorry you get this from my your family. I can't imagine dealing with it from inside the family. I mostly get from people outside the family. The only one I get this from is my little brother who has three important facts you have to remember about him:

Ah you have a girlish crush on my retort, but the one you'd really marry is my reply to people who can't understand why I don't want kids.

Incidentally, it's nice to know feminist friendly guys exist here. I don't actually want to move you know? There are parts I like about this Southern/Eastern Seaboard that I like. The landscapes, some of the food, the fact that every Chinese Restaurant is good one,* and the people.

Oh yes. One thing I don't look forward too is the Kids question. I'm still single and it's staggering the amount of people I've had to explain my negative feelings about being a mother too is. I can only imagine it gets worse after you marry. I expect I'd have to use my lizard metaphor roughly everyday to explane, "I…

I think because the people who don't like us are people who are loudest. People are more likely to remember things like bra burning, man hating,* or feminazi, than well-reasoned arguments. And I've noticed most people aren't going to do research** to find out any different.

They always ask about bra burning. I usually say something like, "Only if there's a rash."
