As a direct result of yesterday’s post about the oppressed educating the privileged, I created a new blog, where I, as a self-identified feminist, declare that I am completely, 100% okay with, and asking for, totally feminist-newbie questions that I can answer respectfully and accurately. On the blog, I welcome the 19-year-old boy who [...]

The Privileged, and Educating them
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged cissexism, education, equality, feminism, heterosexism, homophobia, misandry, misogyny, mra, oppression, privilege, sexism on May 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve been reading some feminist blogs lately where the comments have been hijacked by guys, wondering why the usual commenters, women and men who are familiar with and supporters of feminism, were being so mean and/or impatient with them, when all they wanted to do was learn, or when they should just appreciate a man [...]
Don’t Trust Me

With all the hype/controversy/complaining about Asher Roth, I thought immediately of 3OH!3, and their current hit single, Don’t Trust Me. I thought, Why isn’t anyone talking about that song? On feminist and racial blogs alike?
The lyrics alone are problematic, for a variety of reasons. The song is essentially describing the hipster music [...]
A bit of whining

…It is my blog, after all. I don’t pretend to give a shit if this special place on the internet is 100% relevant to anything other than my own narcissism.
Gawd, my job sucks lately. Everyone in the department quit, got canned, or is busy as hell. I can hardly handle the [...]
Seriously?

I’m about ready to bitch-slap the goddamn internet.
The feminist blogosphere has been ripe with controversy and drama over the past week or so, and I must say, I am quite done participating (if you can even call my little-more-than-lurking “participation”).
The whole deal, if you don’t feel like reading all of that obnoxious internet-drama [...]
Our House
Posted in Uncategorized on February 19, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Awhile ago, I posted an entry on my LiveJournal with the pictures of our apartment, because we loved it and had just gone shopping and re-organized the place. All the fun spices in the cupboard, the tidy living room, organized bookshelf, new bedroom placement, offices and recording space…
Well, that’s all changed since Jesse and [...]
Happy Trails

God, so I got really stoned last night and took a shower and thought of how amazing words are sometimes, like “realize.” I thought about how I could break it down and see if the real meaning of the word was the same as we intend it to be when we say it in [...]
Fraud Victims Say the Darndest Things
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged bank account, customers, fraud, grammar, job, spelling, work on January 13, 2009 | 1 Comment »
As noted the other day, when a customer disputes a transaction with the bank I work for, they’re required to send us a letter explaining why. As also noted, our customers aren’t the brightest bulbs on the tree. These are verbatim quotes from customer letters:
“Verna’s card was debited by scams”
“I don’t authorize all [...]
Nerd Alert

So, I’ve been playing a lot of Settlers of Catan online. You see, Jesse and I have been playing the regular board game version with a friend of ours for a while now, and finally bought it ourselves. The problem, though, is that it’s not a very fun game to play with only [...]

Winter sucks!
It’s funny, you know. Going to that dumb job in the call center and wishing I was going to a better job upstairs in the same building. Then getting that better job upstairs and being bored senseless by the monotony of 8-5, Monday through Friday, moving papers around all day long, making [...]
