Omg, why am I so sad?!
I'm feeling really reflective
I’ve never really put a lot of emphasis on the New Year, to me it was always just another day.
But 2011 is different.
I grew up a lot in 2011. I haven’t had the easiest life, but 2011 really took the cake for hardships.
Looking back on 2011, I can’t decide whether the year was a positive or a negative one. Like I said, a lot of horrible things happened, but they all taught...

Free Rides from AAA for Drunk Americans →
afunnyfeminist:
Call 1-800-AAA-HELP and ask for Tipsy Tow to get a free tow and ride home, even if you’re not a AAA member. Some cities and states don’t participate, so find out what free services are available in your area. Please don’t drink and drive. Plan your way home ahead of time — when you’re sober.
can we all just agree that the term 'special...
Yes.
Also, I’m really disappointed that it’s come to have such a sexist connotation.It started out to describe women who said they “weren’t like other women”, and has become a name for just about any women ever.
There’s a fine line between calling out women for internalized misogyny and perpetuating misogyny yourself.

Not having a car in 21st century suburban America...
I am trying to apply for jobs in the college city where I live. Every job opening I’m google mapping how far I would have to walk.
What would take me 5 minutes in a car would take me a half-hour to walk. What would take me 10 minutes in a car would take me an hour to walk.
It’s ridiculous.
If you don’t have a car, you’re screwed.

People need to stop referring to each other as things like “sweetie” and other pet names during SJ arguments. Or “hon.” It does not make you sweet. It does not suddenly give you an edge of acid wit. It just makes you a tool. Just. Stop.

lesbo-a-gogo:
Yeah ‘heterosexist’ and ‘cissexist’ are still better words than ‘homophobic’ and ‘transphobic’ even if you think saying the term ‘phobic’ isn’t ableist, and here’s why
Heterosexism affects all (or a great majority of) LGBT+/GSM people
Are those people all homosexual? No.
Cissexism affects a great majority of people who are gender non-conforming.
Are those people all trans?...

adrientalks replied to your post: Do you consider “dumb” ableist?
there are definitely some words (dumb, lame, stupid etc.) that make me kind of doubletake my own tongue. some people might be/are offended by these words… i think it’s really hard to gauge language.
I feel the same way.
I don’t personally find the words “dumb” and “lame” ableist, but I know other...
pizzabrat asked: i just read your post that you linked to on your aunt and the crossdressing thing, and i completely agree with you. i just had one question - not to sound ignorant, but why is using "homophobic" and "transphobic" offensive? i've just never heard that before and i don't want to unintentionally offend anybody.

Anonymous asked: Actually, the anon who sent the message about Australia's abortion laws is only partially correct - Victoria, one of the states, has some of the freest abortion laws in the world. They're legal on request up to 24 weeks and dependent on circumstances after that. A doctor who objects to abortion must refer the person on to someone who doesn't, and even if they object they're...

gothipslikecinderella asked: Abortion laws vary in Australia state by state. However in every state abortion still remains in the criminal act, it has just been liberalised in most states. The conditions on how it has been liberalised varies for each state, but most states will require someone to get one or two doctors letters confirming that they require an abortion (which is problematic for a myriad of reasons).

I have a question for you. For as long as I can remember (and much, much longer than that), it has been unacceptable to change clothes in front of the opposite gender. I was thinking maybe it had to do with sexuality issues or something rather than gender issues since we live in a heterosexual society. But what about women who are lesbian, men who are gay? What is your opinion on this?

Anonymous asked: A lot of your blog seems to touch upon corruption of American politics, the Republicans, their ridiculous policies, and fox news, etc. Do you ever wished you lived somewhere like England, I mean, I know its not perfect, but it seems far more advanced in terms of pro-choice and multi-culturalism than America seems to be, and the news is by no means as bias?

mbkm replied to your post: what is the origin of hysteria?
To add to that, the word “hyster” means uterus—“hysteria” was also diagnosed as your uterus detaching itself and floating around your body making you crazy.
Really!
I have never heard that explanation before! That’s funny!
