It’s been ages; I’m gradually pulling myself back into the land of the functional. I have vowed that July will be a great month, and so far it is better than not.

It is, at least for me. I am as white as they get and I’ve faced harassment by cops (most recently for passing one going 50 in the left lane at exactly 60; he followed me for four miles including lane changes; the first time for getting into an accident with a cop that the judge determined was entirely his fault but…

Either Macy’s or Nordstrom’s carries at least some Tahari in store; I have a really nice Tahari dress that I got when I got my non-profit job. I want to say Macy’s, which is not a store I usually go to, but I was being dragged around by a friend who insisted I couldn’t wear my radical fashion at a non-profit.

Tacking on to this, I’ve done non-profit work in the past, though not working with donors. A few statement accessories can cheaply dress up (or down) an outfit in a hurry, and can be a great idea to add to a wardrobe of basics. That’s where you might want to let trends permeate, and always be aware of who you’re…

Yup. Could not possibly care less if someone gets an abortion because they walked past a clinic and went “Crap, I meant to do that!” I can’t say that my abortion was okay because I didn’t want to be a parent but someone else’s abortion isn’t. It’s an attitude that overall stands me in good stead: I do not have the…

My assumption is that they’re happy that they’ve finally got Muslims shooting gays and now if that takes root white dudes can get out of the business of mass shootings.

Grayson is an absolute ass with an ideological axe to grind. He probably thinks Muslims are lurking in his house because he’s so wonderful (or as his website labels him, “a senator with guts”) and they’re so terrible.

Or possibly his father wasn’t informed of his son’s interpretation of religion. I’m not telling my mother about my new boyfriend right yet, but that doesn’t make me not poly. It just makes her not knowledgeable about my life. From what I understand, the shooter was old enough to be married and have a three year old;…

Best Grandpa Simpson gif!

40 points in all of tomorrow’s primaries, according to Nate Silver.

but ... if they aren’t legit ... why do you care who they vote for ...?

Strong possibility!

There was someone on Livejournal years ago whose username was something like bellasmommy and it got so bad that it was all over her page and her user info that Bella was her dog, not her actual child. Because people are stupid, apparently?

But! Passive voice in the article makes it funnier! And I desperately need it to be funnier because jesus fucking god this last week or so on Jez has made me cry more than once about how awful it is to be a woman in this world. I am out of cope and need things to be funny.

I don’t want to touch that, it’s weird. It does stuff.

DID HE??? I am now paralyzed with indecision!

DISAGREE. (I may have accidentally grated my fingertips yesterday...)

Stop judging me for not having tried to circumcise myself. It just keeps slipping my mind, okay, I have to seize the moment. Which is why I routinely bring knives into bathrooms. :)

Actually, I have! I admit, it was Madison, so it might be less knife-carrying, but you’ll see, in my reply to the other person to raise the point that people carry knives (and I’m not joking when I say I have a switchblade in my pocket right now because I also have a stalker who is back in town), that I’m taking issue…

No, not seriously at all. I’m responding to the statement in the quote from the paper that she grabbed for “a knife that he had brought into the bathroom”. The passive voice makes it sound like IT JUST HAPPENED TO come into the bathroom with him, not that it was a pocket knife customarily in his pocket or anything…
