Idea!
So I was talking to someone, and I've been listening to Sassafras's Somebody Will on repeat, and I know it's about space exploration and such, but I kinda want it filked to talk about cultural change, and getting rid of rape culture and making an inclusive culture that appreciates and encourages diversity ( Read more... ) -
Rape Culture
This post is my attempt to frame rape culture in a way that makes it clear and understandable, since I've encountered too many posts talking about sexism or transphobia or racism and how they relate to rape culture where people just don't get the connection ( Read more... ) -
Signal Boosting... or some such
My Google Reader is probably the best thing I've encountered for me remembering to keep track of blogs and bloggers I like and enjoy. It's gone through multiple stages of adding and culling, and I'm pretty happy with the current mix.
So, today, from my reader, comes the links to two posts that I think everyone should see.
Post the first comes to ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
shadesong posted something that I feel very strongly connected to. This post, to be exact. She does not want you taking pictures of her.
I do not want pictures taken of me. EVER. I also do not want to take pictures of you, EVER. I want pictures to not exist in my paradigm. Except maybe of knitting. But really, if it meant cameras were not a part of my world ( Read more... ) -
Calling on connections!
So while my own readership is probably tiny, I'm hoping to reach out to the bigger social network that ya'll are connected to. I want to go out for the evening in black tie. My potential date for this affair will only feel comfortable if we find somewhere that is usually dressy enough for us not to stand out being dressed fancily there. Anyone ( Read more... ) -
Arisia 2011, pt 2
Saturday morning plans did not go as planned (when do they ever, at a con?). There was going to be an attempt to walk the labrynth, which neither the boy nor I woke up for. There was going to be a 10am blood draw, which was delayed upon finding out that YES I HAVE GAINED WEIGHT, and therefore one of my corsets needs longer strings. The irony of ( Read more... ) -
Arisia 2011, pt 1
Arisia this year started a bit before Arisia started.
Thursday, I got let go from the job I had. (Not a big deal, Friday was my last day anyway and they gave me the full 8 hours pay anyway.) Which meant, Arisia was no longer a !OH WOW I HAVE SOMETHING DIFFERENT AFTER WORK!, it was a "OOOO the boy and I can go together and everything!!!!! And I can ( Read more... ) -
Hey Kihou
I don't know if you're familiar with this site or not, or if I'm just being silly, but I thought it might interest you. Reconstructing history and then there's this sub page on sewing stuff that you probably already know about but I figured I'd show you anyway.
Also, re:lunch. Apparently not this week. Maybe next? Or on the weekend? -
Origins 2010
As many of you know, I meandered off to Origins the gaming convention in Ohio a few weeks ago. Partly because it's a life-update that might be fun, and partly because I think I ought to keep track of these things, this is my con writeup.
The drive to Origins on Wednesday went smoothly. Apparently Nathan is smart, because we took I-80 and didn't get ( Read more... )
