I have been thinking about this so hard for the past few days. I’ve been thinking about how I have the privilege of not worrying about not reinforcing stereotypes about child abuse and people of color when I write about my mother’s family because even though I got hit as a kid,...

This is what a gender strike looks like
K: can i just go on strike from gender
K: please can i do that
me: When you figure out what that looks like, go for it!
K: it looks like
K: playing with puppies
K: and setting things on fire.
K: actually it probably means
K: sitting in a cave on mars with my eyes shut and my fingers in my ears.

TW: rape, street harassment, general awfulness
Tonight I passed by a group of teenage boys when one of them looked at me and said, “I’d rape that.” He’s lucky that it’s dark, that I was alone, and that I didn’t take it as a threat so much as an exercise in dick-waving for his bros.
What rape culture?

1) They’re fake as fuck

kvltkunt:
is it okay to self identify as a girl and not a woman?
Of course, I certainly do. Any time I get the opportunity to write-in a gender that’s my go-to. (And sometimes spell it “grrrl,” depending on the situation.)

I'm so bad at being in groups
No really, I am. You don’t want me in your organization or your clique, I’m just terrible at being part of a unit. I flee the moment anyone starts making me feel like I’m obligated to a group of people, or that I have to keep my mouth shut about my discomfort, or that I have to excuse someone’s bad behavior for the sake of unity. I’m a loner, Dottie, a rebel. I do my...

WatchAbout The Help— which I just watched tonight at my mom’s urging!— I feel like this is another film that’s more useful in quelling the conscience of white America than in challenging racism. There is no question that Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer are excellent actresses. But, as evidenced in past interviews, they knew that their options had been limited in Hollywood, even...

Wait, why am I awake?
Oh. Because I stayed out at the bar with my girlfriends, saw a band, snubbed some shitty dudes from high school, got sufficiently trashed for under $10 and came home to hang out with my mom in bed ‘til 4am and talk shit about our exes. Real talk.

Seriously y'all, sex strikes are underrated
Like, if all erotic and/or reproductive labor were to stop, you know how mad (and incredibly miserable and whiny and accommodating) these Republican douchebags would get? C’mon, HIT ‘EM WHERE IT HURTS.

Agreed. It’s definitely not the same caliber of fuckyeahpolicydebate, if you ask me.

There’s something about listening to Southern accents that’s really warm and comforting to me. This poor country girl, who’s my age and unhappily married to a drug addict (but rendezvousing with a guy in the Navy), is now trying to fend off the advances of an annoying old guy from Connecticut. He won’t stop making fun of her accent and bringing up the fact that he’s a...

This past Sunday, February 19, 2012, something new happened at Bagh-e-Jinnah. Women, hundreds of thousands (by some estimates close to a million) of them, poured into the park. They came from all the nooks and crannies of Karachi, from the fetid slums where sewage gushes between tiny hovels, from cramped apartments in teeming suburbs, from stately mansions by the sea. They came in black...

Not naming names or anything, but it was quite a motley crew made up of queer punx and misandrists for the lolz. And, if it happened IRL some of you would be fucked. (And I mean that in more ways than one.)
Also to give you a clue, the following words I looked up in dreammoods: knife, sand dunes, dress, make-up, river, running, and Survivor Challenge.

YES YES YES. Hey everyone, let’s pick our favorite famous white lady and pool our resources together to bolster her cred!

STOKED
So 3 weeks ago, I wrote this sad post about my small role as a waitress in the upcoming Coen Brothers movie being passed on to somebody else. But the casting company called me today to tell me that I still got it, and that they would shoot the scene the day after I get back from Florida. That is next Tuesday. I am so excited I don’t know what else to do but gush.
