Things are generally good. I wasn't doing so hot friday night, but things have been worked out. :) more journaling later, when it's not past midnight.

Twilight panties. I know I'm wrong for sharing the idea of idea RPattz staring at people from your crotch, but I really want to know why anyone would think this was anything but the scariest kind of joke. Plus, I'm kind of boggling that no one has come out with Twilight themed pads or tampons. Just think about it, Edward's mouth could soak up the heavy days while the soft furry cover would remind fangirls of Jacob's comforting fur. Go ahead and throw things.

I am doing all right. On my way back to New Orleans early in the morning. Hopefully then I can get some sleep. I really appreciate everyone who's commented with support and e-hugs in the last few days. I am lucky to have you all on my friendslist.

This is Grandma and Grandpa - they must have been taken sometime in the 1920's.



Aren't they both gorgeous? I mean, I know I am not unbiased, but I still feel these are exceptionally pretty people.

Lisa Harney passes on the call to boycott Feministing, in part on behalf of their failure to address transphobia in comments posted there. That's easy enough for me; I haven't read that site in ages because of transphobia and cissexism, among other reasons.

Between the fairly common straight-up transphobia on feminist blogs, and unchecked transphobia in comment threads, in fact, there is almost no feminist forum on the web anymore that I feel safe reading. Twisty? Nope. Feministe? Nope. Pam's House Blend? Nope.

Really the only major feminist blog I feel safe at anymore as a trans woman is Shakesville. Livejournal seems mostly safe. But my feminist world becomes smaller and smaller to the point where I have to wonder if I can really be a feminist anymore. Now I'm beginning to question even whether or not it is feasible to retrofit a critical analysis of society based on gender to cope with the fact that some women are assigned male at birth and some men are assigned female at birth. I used to think, "Sure, why not?" But the "why not" is playing out in the blogosphere: transgender acceptance within feminism is looking more and more every day like a failed experiment.

OH YEAH. ( Read more... )

So I'm post hamthrax, car crash, and pre-poking for cyst. Can I go back to working out yet? Because it's been forever and I would like to get back on the road to being able to say "I only trust so and so as far as I can throw them" and mean it. I'm planning to propose a "Colorism in SF/F" panel for Wiscon and I figure if I start lifting now I'll be all set by May.

quizzicalsphinx posted this meme about roleplaying characters. I answered it!

Rules:
~ If you don't have at least 8 OCs I wouldn't recommend this meme.
~ Add on questions to this meme! It will make it bigger!

I think for those of you who don't roleplay but who write, you could totally do this for your writing charries too! It was fun and some of the questions were actually hard!

( i have a lot of characters! )
