I am so many behind and just getting farther. Soon, I just declare "FUCK IT!" and mark everything in my RSS reader as read.

*Trigger warning: Rape

Schrodinger's Rapist: Yes, we have to talk about this again

I think a lot of men underestimate the fear most women have around rape. For instance, I am the happiest little slut you could ever hope to meet. However, I would never have sex with a man whom a friend, or a friend of a friend, didn’t vouch for, because he might kidnap, rape and murder me.


Don't read the comments. Don't read the comments. DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS. They are full of the kind of rape culture that makes me feel actively sick, and, contrary to what the commenters were probably hoping to do, make me MORE likely to play the Schrodinger's Rapist game with strange men I meet, not less.

/TW - Rape

*Cat Town, which Tracy mentioned to me and then did not explain. He merely handed me the link. I think it's better that way.

*Also mentioned by Tracy, there is Abbie The Cat Has A Posse, a blog kept by the cat he lives with. I find this bit especially poetic:

oh and if you are wondering abot the cat calendar
it all depends on where you have to sit for the sun
thats how you know


*They are making more medical codes for hospitals. Put in some search terms, click around. It's a fascinating waste of time, to learn "they have a code for THAT?!"

*Holly Pervocracy suggests the idea of Relationship Ed, to go with the sex-ed.

*I don't at all know the context, but I find this hilarious: Dog explains the plot of Grey's Anatomy.

*I've noticed that I somehow let the word "bitch" back into my vocabulary. This is a pretty shitty thing, and I am going to try and refix that.

All that being said, this is an amazingly eloquent ouchburn.

*TW: Misogyny

Like a Girl, a reminder that merely being female should not be an insult. Ever.

*Sir Ian McKellan and Sir Patrick Stewart kissing. You know. In case that's relevant to you.

*How to make fish crayons. Which really, if you had the right sort of ice cube trays, could be "how to make ALL SORTS OF RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME CRAYONS!

*This map of the United States is pretty hilarious to me. Partly because I can identify all the states, and am weirdly proud about this.

*RIA THIS IS RELEVANT TO YOU!

The Dalek Game: In which you take a book title and replace one of the words with "dalek". This exceptional person takes it a step farther by doodling her titles. Do admire "The Dalek of the Baskervilles", "Life Among the Daleks", "Moby Dalek", and my personal favourite "Regency Dalek".

(Marc, that last one might be relevant to you by a lot.)

*TW: sexual harassment

Discussing the nude photos of Scarlet Johanson (Part two)and why you should not be distributing them. Short answer: because she is a person and did not give her consent for such photos to be distributed.

You are not entitled to see celebrities naked. You are not entitled to see *anyone* naked. Please don't encourage the sort of culture that gleefully passes along such things, especially when the person in question has made it clear they were released without their consent.

*Ridiculously stupid abortion poster informs the viewer that "Some choices are wrong" with an illustration of a girl staring blankly as a baby falls (is thrown? Badly?) off a cliff into the ocean. Choose Life! it proclaims.

Yeah, the internet had a field day photoshopping that one.

*TW: Disregard of personal space, rape culture

"Please trust me when I tell you", which tells the story of intentions versus actions and how they are very very different.

*A reddit poster presents:

"I built a Question Block and hung it up outside. Seems like everybody knows what to do with one of these things."

(the pictures will very likely make you smile.)

*Empowering quote about feminism by the woman writing the new My Little Pony show.

*Whatever Happened to Elfstar. From the comments, Jack Chick fanfic (slashfic?), that’s one thing. Good Jack Chick fanfic, that’s another. But good, moving Jack Chick fanfic? That one’s for the record books.

*The Peckham Outerspace Initiative, which I learned about from this post by Warren Ellis. It's a pretty brilliant idea, and I'd love to get a copy sometime. Ships not Shelters!

*Machine of Death is making a card game. Or several. I want these decks very very badly. And I need to make and send them an insert card!

Other posts may or may not show up today, if I get motivated enough.

MOOP!

Me not see anything about Jack Chick at this place. Google thinks maybe you meant this one, but I dunno if I'd trust them, what with all the shenanigans they've been up to lately.

Is there anyone to whom those two kissing isn't relevant?!

Ok. I think that picture of Sir Ian and Sir Patrick kissing is going to the top of the list of things that make me know I'm a zero on the Kinsey scale. Because if I were anywhere above 0 that would be one of the hottest things ever.

It seems one should build a Question Block camera trap that goes "bloop" appropriately when triggered. Tied into a live web-page that updates whenever the trap is triggered.

There are pictures of Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart kissing? My Xavier/Magneto place is so happy right now. (My Xavier/Magneto place appears to be located somewhere around the toes – they wiggled with X-Men glee.)

Also, I want to register amusement at the entire comment thread on the Elfstar story. The discussion about how to interpret which edition of D&D is being played in the Chick tract and how that should be changed for poetic reasons is quite neat.
