I question your use of the word VICTIM wrt DVD piracy. I will try to keep this short as it is a rant, and I am really trying to do less of that now that I’m all growed-up at the old age of 40. But it’s been on my mind for several years and I […]
On Challenges and Marathons 1: #AtoZChallenge #Reflection
I know I have not yet completed the AtoZ Challenge, and thus am not yet technically qualified to enter my opinion with regard to adding a Reflection post on the topic. But I’m interrupting myself to do a Reflection post anyway because that’s how I roll and when a topic nudges me and demands to be released […]
Context is dead and other thoughts on sexual harassment
Context is dead… And I killed it. Or maybe I didn’t. I don’t fucking know, and at this point, I don’t fucking care. It’s dead and I had a hand in it, although several people contributed to its death in a much more straightforward manner than I, and there are a lot of people with opinions about […]
Just say NO to obligatory Christmas Gifts!
I have seen so many comments about how people “have” to get Christmas gifts for people, and how stressful and expensive this is, and how they can’t wait till they’re done. That’s fucking ridiculous, you guys. If shopping for Christmas gifts is a chore, you’re doing it wrong. 1. You don’t “have” to get Christmas […]
Don’t be shitty this Holiday Season.
Don’t be shitty… re: party games. I am that wallflower that is too scared to join in. It’s so annoying to the other participants. Particularly when the games are busted out and you’re too nervous to risk looking stupid. My BFF threw a FriendsGiving get-together the weekend of Turkey Day festivities, and we ate a […]
Sexual Harassment policies are dust in the wind if not enforced
How money works when you are poor
How money works I read this article recently about all these things you should teach your daughter. The list was okay, insofar as it was all stuff I taught my son {sex appropriate, as he isn’t a princess – unless he wants to be, which would be fine by me}, and already planned to teach […]
Lack of support for #opJohnCrawford is scarier than Ebola or zombies.
Lack of support is scary. I am scared of a lot of things. Most of these things are irrational. I completely admit it. Here are some ridiculous items of which I am terrified: The dark. People standing too close to me. Being chased. My mom. Zombies. Pandemics. Being deemed crazy. Crazy people. Drinking sour milk. […]
Beavercreek Walmart Shooting and #OpJohnCrawford
Beavercreek Walmart Shooting Beavercreek is in the Greater Dayton Area. Greater than what? I don’t know. It’s just called that. There’s “Dayton” like, the city of, and then there’s all the surrounding bits and ‘burbs, and those are collectively considered Greater Dayton. I guess it’s a fancy-pants way of referring to urban sprawl. I’m not […]
People I get fired accidentally.
Edit: Note added Monday, December 1, 2014: Steven Sauc reports via his blog that the Context board has disbanded itself will now be taken over by people who actually might give a shit about enforcing the sexual harassment policy. This is excellent news, indeed, and I cannot wait to see what wonderful things they make […]
