In which I wrote this as a response to a friend’s post on Facebook and am re-posting it here because I can. So my dear friend posted this link on her feed: And I read it and wrote this response: Well-written, sure, but would have been more powerful with actual examples of actual men in […]
In which I respond to a Twitter thread I read earlier. Everybody baggin’ on Millennials for still living at home, not earning, not taking all those jobs. Well, fuck that. I’m not a Millennial; I’ve been working for decades. I’m making now what I made when I started working in the early 90’s – my […]
In which I was serially sexually abused as a child by a slightly older male relative. So, yeah, #metoo. Me, too. My perpetrator even went to prison for it. (Not for me, but for others, later.) I honestly don’t think it affected me in any measurable way. I was never hurt or damaged. For years […]
In which there’s a lecture. When your business is open each day only because your staff are getting the rest of the food, shelter, and medicine they need to survive via charity because you’re not paying them enough to buy their own, it means either that you’re not a viable business because you cannot pay […]
In which I put this on Facebook the other day. Since it’s mine, I’m cross-posting here. To the many, many white people in my timeline confused about the football thing: Goodness, you really think these players are kneeling because they’ve been indoctrinated against toxic masculinity and/or wholesome American values? THEY’RE PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYERS, for heaven’s […]
In which OMG SUPERMAD WHITE CHICKS. She appears to think that football is real, and not a massive for-profit performance. IT’S ENTERTAINMENT. There is no promise of safety from offense. Is it offensive? Sure, I guess, if you think football is real. Meekly, weakly, intentionally offensive. He’s doing it because it makes white ladies aghast; […]
In which I STILL don’t understand how people can know so little about the services they use. If you were the majority of Floridian customers I assisted during my shift at work this evening, you’ve just been through a massive 500-year storm that destroyed tons of shit, you either don’t have power or you’re running […]
In which a man suggests that women and men are, in fact, different. And gets fired for it. Isn’t there evidence that males tend to cluster, intellectually, more toward genius or idiocy, whereas females tend to cluster toward average? If so, this means that while there are, of course, both genius and idiot women, it […]
In which I continue to try to figure out why I care so much about people being wrong. today in the shower i gave an imaginary person a lecture about chiropractic: “chiropractic doesn’t do anything but separate people who can afford it from their money “there are one or two adjustments that actually do something, […]
retweeted a statistic about how the vast majority of dairy-related illnesses are due to raw dairy products (probably the trendy ones, drunk by hipsters and science-haters, rather than, you know, actual dairy farmers or small-holders drinking the stuff in their ranch houses, because with their knowledge they’re highly unlikely to poison themselves, amirite) and now […]
