| Bio: | This journal contains adult content and concepts. You've been warned.
Do not friend me lightly. I follow the same principle. I'm a feminist, a veteran, and I don't tolerate crap.
Rule number one. No exceptions, nothing.
Rule Number Two. If I have you friended and you defriend me, do me the courtesy of letting me know. I don't care why, I just want to know when. Some people might think this kind of thing is okay but I do hope others have higher standards.
Rule number three. Anonymous trolls will be deleted if you don't provide a name or a web page. This only applies to trolls. I keep finding familiar IPs amongst the anonymous comments, trying to bring up shit that's already been settled. It should hardly need to be mentioned that this rule does not apply to victims who need to speak out, people who have a good reason to preserve their privacy, or other people here in good faith.
Rules Number Four and Five. Don't be Columbus. You didn't just discover that nifty argument you think is so neato. You will probably find those arguments and phrases refuted in either the troll cliches or the bibliography. No, I don't want to waste my time summarizing shit for you. That's not the way life works. Youcame here, not vice versa. Rule Number Five: if you clear the whole dessert cart of life off, you don't get to bitch about how mean other people are when they notice---or starve. If you're not aware that men dominate the law, the police, politics, money and so forth, then go inform yourself pronto.
The best charity in the world: The Heifer Foundation.
One of the best cat help organizations around.
Caring for cats is a local cat shelter that can use your help, whether it's time or supplies or money.
An organization that helps abandoned and abused animals. They, too, can use help and assistance.
An animal shelter that helps disabled and otherwise unadoptable dogs, cats, and horses. Please consider helping them out.
From here.
"What did liberals do that was so offensive to the liberal party? I'll tell you what they did. Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act. Liberals created Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act. What did conservatives do? They opposed them on every one of those things."
I am not, nor will I ever be, a user of any service that defeats other journal's privacy filters.
In accordance with Army regulations, everything expressed herein is no one's opinion but my own and does not reflect Army policy.
I'm a feminist. I'm not your mother. If you don't have a basic knowledge of, or sympathy for feminism, I won't bother with you. I've provided links below for people to educate themselves about feminism. I don't care what Faux News tells you about feminists. I'm not your teacher. Go educate your damned self and don't expect anyone to spoon feed it to you.
Blue collar radical feminist, ex ballet dancer, soldier, and so forth. (Note: If you're one of those imbeciles that sees 'radical' and thinks 'Molotov cocktail' get out now.) My resume looks like Sybil wrote it. I speak two other languages, best when either drunk or pissed or both. I read a lot, cook a lot, write a lot, love cats, Moroccan furniture, books, books, books, and more books, CDs, DVDs, digital stuff, onion rings, computers, SD cards, silk stockings, French food, good wine, anything that's bad for me, judicious swearing, werewolves, zombies, vampires, horror, and bungalows. I hate twits, twerps, and trolls. You are going to be identified as one of the latter if you say any of the following:
1. You feminazis just---
2. But don't feminists want to take over?
3. But what about the men?!
A helpful tip: If I call you sweetie it means one of two things:
1. I love you.
2. I hate you.
The troll cliches may be found here. If you use any of these, you get one warning, and then I ban you and that's only if I'm in a good mood. When confronted with a troll, I am never in a good mood. The answers are here. If you use any of these or similarly ignorant phrases, you're gone.
A good example of the troll cliches in action may be found either here or any place in this blog where my statement, "You're banned, asshole" is preceeded by some dipshit providing an example of troll hood. If you want to see more trolls, go to Alas, or Hugo Schweitzer's blog.
I say what I mean. I mean what I say. There aren't any hidden meanings in what I say. Deal with it.
The bibliography. I'd suggest you have read or be aware of the contents of these books and/or articles before posting here. This is not Feminism 101 for Newbies.
Other topics of discussion are werewolves, Martians, good horror, bad horror, zombies, how come there are not enough movies featuring any of the above, or, God willing, all three. I like horror, trashy horror fiction, B-movies, old battered furniture, and warm blankets and cats. I'm a big fan of chocolate, cooking, cooking with chocolate, cholesterol, reading, writing, reading and writing with chocolate, and lasagna. I like wine and cheese and France. I've been all over. I'd like to do it again sometime. And that's enough for now.
