You are an oft-touched wound that will not close; a door tilted ever so slightly that it is always a bit ajar; a mental picture that can never be truly erased. You were the one thing. The snowflake that started the avalanche. The last raindrop that broke the levee. The ray of sunshine that proclaimed all Spring.
— I wrote this a while back and it still seems undeniably true.

The research due to be published in the British Journal of Psychology also revealed that most men who took part in the study identified themselves more with the language expressed by the convicted rapists.

Psychologists presented men between the ages of 18 and 46 with a range of statements taken from magazines and from convicted rapists in the study, and gave the men different information about the source of the quotes. Men identified more with the comments made by rapists more   than the quotes made in lads’ mags, but men identified more with quotes said to have been drawn from lads’ mags more than those said to have been comments by convicted rapists.

Disturbing.

I did rise and run. I learned that I was right and everyone else wrong when I was nine. Buck Rogers arrived on scene that year, and it was instant love. I collected the daily strips, and was madness maddened by them. Friends criticized. Friends made fun. I tore up the Buck Rogers strips. For a month I walked through my fourth-grade classes, stunned and empty. One day I burst into tears, wondering what devastation had happened to me. The answer was: Buck Rogers. He was gone, and life simply wasn’t worth living. The next thought was: Those are not my friends, the ones who got me to tear the strips apart and so tear my own life down the middle; they are my enemies.


I went back to collecting Buck Rogers. My life has been happy ever since. For that was the beginning of my writing science fiction. Since then, I have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, sideshows or gorillas. When this occurs, I pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room.

Unfortunately, the Kimberley Process’s refusal to address the clear links between diamonds, violence and tyranny has rendered it hopelessly ineffectual. In effect, it has become an accomplice to diamond laundering — as well as the corruption and depredations that inevitably follow — by offering the illusion of institutional cover to endemic and escalating corruption. Despite intensive efforts over nine years by a determined coalition of NGOs, the sad truth is that most consumers still cannot be sure where their diamonds come from. And so, Monday, Global Witness is announcing its withdrawal as an official Observer to the process.

Women who are too sexual aren’t taken seriously, and women who aren’t sexual enough aren’t taken seriously. Women who are conventionally attractive get valued solely for their sexual appeal; women who aren’t conventionally attractive get dismissed for their lack of it. Women who are conventionally attractive are assumed to be dumb bimbos; women who aren’t conventionally attractive are assumed to be either bitter or desperate. Women who are conventionally attractive get trivialized; women who aren’t conventionally attractive get treated with pity and contempt. We can’t win.

Oded Fehr Appreciation Post

 One of my favourite actors. :D

Let me follow all you lovely people

REBLOGGING THIS MAN SO HARD. HE WAS SERIOUSLY ONE OF MY FIRST ALMOST SORTA CRUSHES. HE IS MAGNIFICENT.

ALSO, HIS VOICE AS DR. FATE WAS BRILLIANT AND I NEVER HEARD HIM IN THE COMICS THE SAME WAY EVER AGAIN.

…eep

i just put my hand to my heart and inhaled deeply I’VE LOVED HIM SINCE I WAS LIKE 12

Dunno who he is

don’t care

Oh mah goodness…. I LOVE this man so fucking much. He is TOO FINE for words!

Oded Fehr.

Bee yoo ti ful. 

THIS MAN!  GORGEOUS!  Remember seeing the Mummy and being like “HOLD UP! FORGET BRENDAN FRAISER!  WHO IS THIS?  CAN I HAVE A MOVIE OF HIM?”  And secret societies and badassery and all that good stuff.  Then there’s the fact that he’s Dr. Fate in the JLU.  And I bought the second Resident Evil movie (and the third) because he was in it. I won’t even lie.

Forget Brendan Fraiser indeed. He will always be my head Oberyn Martell. 

A friend of mine used to use him as Sebastian Shaw. Loved him as Shaw way more than some of the other PBs I’ve seen for the man.

On Male & Female Sharing Equally

In talking with women about romantic relationships, the most common frustration they express is related to a lack of equality when it comes to communication and time. Women notice that their opinions and time are seen as less valuable than a man’s thoughts, opinions, and time. I hear from many of my woman readers that when they wanted to spend time with the person they are romantically involved with, often, he wasn’t available. Yet, they were expected to be available when he was ready to spend time. It has to do with an equitable sacrifice.

FULL POST

The articulation of a thought I’ve had a number of times.
