In which there’s some crap I more or less stumbled across online. Today I came across a site that told me that some stupid product for women to wear under tight clothing — Camel No — IS THE WORST THING EVER AND SHAMES WOMEN AND IS ANTI-WOMAN AND ANTI-VAGINA. Because obviously the woman who developed […]
[NOTE: I wrote this garbage years ago. It was a stage in my development as I learned to understand something I didn’t. I’m now ashamed of most of it, but I choose not to delete it because it’s proof that people can and do grow and change over time. So if someone you know still […]
In which I rode my bike to work, and four-and-a-quarter hours later I rode it home again. My apartment is technically only six blocks from work; it’s just that they’re such gigantic, industrial blocks that those six blocks actually equal 1.2 miles. (A mile usually contains 17 typical city blocks, that’s how big these blocks […]
In which I think people are being a bit irrational. So, a pudgy British comedian calls out this chick trophy hunter on social media and, like anything that ever gets traction these days, for no apparent reason it absolutely explodes all over the place. In the last couple of days I’ve seen dozens and dozens […]
In which I’m a domestic goddess. When I got up this morning — and when I say ‘morning’ you should read ‘afternoon,’ because I didn’t get up until twelve-thirty — I already had dinner planned and was resolved to wash the bed linens. I stretched lightly in bed, then got up and did a few […]
In which I complain about things I don’t like. Because I’m spiritual and restrained like that. Finance I spend a lot of time on Amazon.com. I just do. I’m a Kindle owner several times over, I like ordering stuff online and not having to deal with stores or people or shopping, and it’s just convenient. […]
In which there are Mason, Kerr, and Ball jars. I like jars. You can get a bunch of them for like twelve bucks, and use them for pretty much everything from juice glass to food storage to coffee brewing. They’re probably less awesome in kitchens with stone floors, but in general if you don’t drop […]
In which I bitch about the ‘improvements’ we’re seeing on sites net-wide, because they’re not making things work better, they’re just fads of style. The Internet is now being built by people so young they have never lived in a world without it. They’ve been online all their lives and probably started coding as tweens. […]
In which I question the assumptions. I just listened to a piece on NPR about a new Bollywood movie. The leading lady is quite hot, apparently, but can’t act her way out of a paper bag. She’s a porn actress. She was cast entirely for the titillation. Indian movies are heavily censored. Bollywood was only […]
In which I read and respond to some spam, because that’s totally normal and useful, right? The following diatribe was on the server this morning. I have no idea why I even looked at it, but I did, and it sums up all of the problems I have with conservatives. First of all, it’s wrongly […]
