not a title

29Sep08

RIght, so I was going to whine a lot about the complete fail that is the US Congress (and that does in fact include the Speaker of the House, much as I hate to admit it).  But something came up. Children were gassed in a mosque in Dayton, Ohio.  CHILDREN. And no one outside the local […]

Politica, part 1

26Sep08

This may be the only presidential debate I actually watch, so I guess I should make it worthwhile and blog it.  And get slowly drunker over time.  Watch this post for periodic updates.  And welcome, Hoydenizens!

containing a fairly non-coherent ramble about studip tv

24Sep08

Ugh, I have run out of rants at the moment.  Mostly I’m just inspired to tell you about all the things in fandom I don’t care about, because I have a migraine and I’m being misanthropic.  Which means I will not be making friends and influencing people with this post. – Stargate anything but the […]

A Break From Our Scheduled Programming, Part One

21Sep08

These are the sorts of things that go through my mind after two drinks and a lot of websurfing at 1 AM, and I realize this is an older issue, but I’ve never dealt with it publicly in any of my web presences, so you get to deal with it now. I could do with never hearing, […]

In Which We Are Finally Not Jossed

18Sep08

I totally love when other people write posts that say what I wanted to say, but better.  Admittedly, I’m also a little jealous, but still, it’s gratifying to know you’re not alone. So yeah, my frustration with the cult of Whedon is well-documented, and my frustration with those who would take the other end of […]

Bryan Singer, you’re my hero.

16Sep08

Talking point, courtesy of tonight’s new House.  Don’t worry, it’s not spoilery. Is feminism about being able to have everything, or about being able to try for anything?  Is deliberately becoming someone’s subordinate and being happy with that role in life a valid feminist position? I don’t really know yet.  I’ll get back to you. […]

Legal Fictions

11Sep08

Well, the latest out of fandom is the JK Rowling versus HP Lexicon suit, which (while I do enjoy me a little Harry Potter) interests me not at all, except for what might affect fanfic. Yes, I write and read fanfic, and while it is of dubious legality, it’s one of those things that don’t […]

Sarah Against the World: another in a series

08Sep08

I never intended this blog to become Sarah Palin Watch!!!11eleven But because I haven’t seen this on any of the feminist blogs I follow (got it via LJ), here’s Sarah Palin’s record on Native Alaskan issues, with citations.  The formatting’s a bit wacky thanks to Blogspot, but C&P isn’t hard, and I think it’s relevant […]

In the Interest of Rational Discourse:

05Sep08

In follow up to my post of the other day regarding non-gender talking points and Sarah Palin, I really really like this post by Jill at Feministe, ‘Fighting Sexism with Sexism’. She says it better than I do, and my words are blown for tonight anyway.  I have more to say about my inability to […]
