Things I don't love about Switzerland: the motion sensor in the bathroom TURNING THE LIGHTS OUT ON ME at inopportune times.

Things I do love about Switzerland: a popular catfood brand is ExcelCat. I see it, and I think, UBERCAT. Then I am pleased.

It's warm and beautiful here today. I've been watching the snow melt on the mountains when I've not been working my ass off.

Speaking of: I feel tired and fragile.

Patty so soon! We actually have to firm up dates to try to get her over here, because it's been complicated, but if nothing else, soon I will be there. I hope she got the package I sent her today, since it has Halloween treats in it. Any joy, baby?

neo_prodigy, with significant comprehensiveness, sums up the damage done to multiple communities by various straight, white female fans who don't get intersectionality.

Haiti still needs our help. It still hasn't finished recovering from the earthquake and the cholera outbreak is just one symptom of that.

Obama says his position on gay marriage has evolved. He's just not told us into what exactly. I'm getting tired of hoping. Let's have some happening.

Basketball and the billionaire. It's always the Nets. ALWAYS.

Public chess in NYC wound up with unique (incorrect) boards. So people are making due.

Links vastly not comprehensive, because I have time and connection problems. Seek out the world!

Theater Thursdays coming later!

Is your argument that he's calling out women specifically because in the particular spaces he's interacting with this sort of behavior is seen more often from women, or that the behavior he's calling out is more typical of the sort of fail that comes from cis white female fen than that of cis white male fen?

Because as a cis white male fan, the latter, so not true. We're very capable of, and commonly perpetrators of, exactly this sort of fail.

I believe "he's calling out women specifically because in the particular spaces he's interacting with this sort of behavior is seen more often from women," but I would not presume to speak for him.

Also, he's talking specifically about feminism, intersectionality, and the fails thereof, which aren't going to have as much to do with cis white male fail.
