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!

Men are all misogynist to some degree (so are women, really) and if I'm forced to choose between one case of misogynist commission versus a massive resounding wall of racist omission, it's really no choice at all. I'm sorry if my lack of loyalty to the sanctity of the vagina offends you... wait, actually, I'm not sorry at all :D


....

You're a fucking moron. Would it be okay if I dismissed someone's racism with "White people are all racist to some degree?" Or if I dismissed their homophobia with "straight people are all homophobic to some degree?"

Seriously, stop sucking his dick. It doesn't make you special or edgy, it just makes you another pathetic woman in fandom who is so desperate for male approval you don't care how many other women you step over to get it.

Got last-word-itis, I see!

It would depend heavily on the context. I have to accept a certain level of background racism from white people all the time. I assume LGBTQ people have to do the same with heteronormative stuff. If I stopped talking to any white person who wasn't perfect on racial issues, I wouldn't talk to any white people. In fact, I probably couldn't even talk to myself.

And no, I don't care how many of you ridiculous cowards stewing in white resentment over at fail_fandomanon my support/dick-sucking happens to irritate. So flame on... although the ultimate duration of your ridiculousness is whatever rm decides, as for me, I don't mind.
