So, there’s a whole bunch of MRA stuff I should be writing about now, and some Roosh drama, but, you know, my heart just isn’t in it at the moment. So I’m going to take a few more days off to clear my head. In the meantime, I would suggest keeping up with the latest MRA and PUA shenanigans by checking out the AgainstMensRights and TheBluePill subreddits, respectively.
Also, I thought you all might appreciate this video of a cat discovering snow for the first time.
And Happy New Year! Or did I already wish you guys that?
Wow. That was a pretty textbook example of “HOW DARE YOU BE OFFENDED BY ME I HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY ANYTHING I WANT AND NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO HURT MY FEELINGS BY DISAGREEING WITH ME RARRRRGGH!”
I went on a hike at Mt. Diablo (in San Ramon, CA) and it was great. The scenery was beautiful (no haze for once!) and the sky was cloudless. And I had plenty of raspberry cough, which gave me the energy to run down some of the steep hills. Because of that, my feet are extremely sore and I have a pounding headache (which is thankfully abating).
That will probably be my last hike for a very long time. I’m going to miss my friends and siblings.
Oh no …be “offended ” by me all you like .And try to hurt my feelings all you want. I just disagree that what I said meant what many jumped on and said it meant. Its not even close.
But continue on . Of course you have the right to try and hurt my feelings. And be “offended” by me .
That sounds beautiful . But why will it be for a very long time before another hike?
I’m going to leave for LA very soon with katz. I probably won’t stay with her for very long, but I need to be there temporarily so I can come out the rest of the family safely in a long distance way.
I’m just going to ignore this little spat besides to say that I’ve been told to go take a long walk off a short cliff and read short pier to mean the same.
As for mess dress, I could maybe top that, if I tried, but my Wayward Victorian Girl costume makes dressed to the nines look naked, the top jacket alone is more than nine yards!
It’ salsaIt’s also the only dress I’m comfortable in. (Autocorrect apparently wants salsa) Can’t wait to see you all decked out though, I have no idea what you have for medals (don’t tell me, I want to be surprised)Of course I’m evil! I’m an agent of the Furrinati after all.
Not evading the law, just my jerkbrain. It was a tough holiday season for me emotionally.
So I’ve been lurking, just not having the energy to engage.
Congrats pecunium!
Have some pictures of the beagle (for NOT asking reddit to find me thankyouverymuch):

All these things generally mean “You’re irritating, shut up and go away.” Some of them also indicate that the going away should be permanent and painful.
I’d agree, but I think the distinction is important. I’m not sure “jump in a lake” counts as a violent statement if the imagined scenario is neither permanent nor painful. I’m definitely willing to honor community consensus.
Lookit the big eyes on the beagle! 🙂
And grey tabbies. The veilside Furrinati definitely approve. (Abbey, Thomas and Katie are marked much like those two.)
I’m glad to see they have the ball-inna-ring thing to play with. We’ve got one of those, though the novelty has mostly worn off. It was hugely popular for a while, we’d hear the ball rolling around at all hours.
Sorry it’s been a crappy Christmas for you.
Here’s a bit more brain bleach: a new zefrank video, True Facts About The Armadillo!
http://youtu.be/110iUX1Ursk
Why do some people insist that the armadillo is not adorable?
Well, Sammy has it anyways. He does not like to share his toys (which includes the Christmas tree). Although when Mama dog comes over (the kitties are my stepdads) Lila gets brave and plays with some of his stuff.
I love true facts videos. They crack me up. 🙂
Sammy and his favorite Christmas “toy” – http://i.imgur.com/BYj4cbV.jpg
Me too, True Facts videos are great. 😀
DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT all the knitting I’ve done over the last two days has to be pulled out. I totally stuffed up the sleeves. Won’t be getting the jacket finished before I get back to work now. Arrrrghhhh! /froth
Sammy: Yeah, it’s mine, wanna make something of it?
😀
Wow radfem blog is ridiculous. Seriously some people just hate everyone. it’s not healthy.
New Year’s eve/day was spent sitting by my dying mother’s bed and watching the snow fall thick outside. Dying is a lot different than I imagined. I’ve never seen anyone die before, and I’m not so sure that I would ever want to see it again. I certainly don’t think I will ever make a contrite phrase wishing someone death because they are irritating me again. It may sound cliche, but I think as a culture we’ve sanitized death so much that we don’t appreciate life.
I did learn some things about dealing with the hospice system if anyone unfortunately ever needs to pick my brain. 🙁
That radfem blog… There is some hilarious shit there, if you can stomach it. I’m not sure which is my favorite, her claim that male shamans have to use drugs, which they stole for women, or the claim that mitochondria (which she calls “mitochondries”) are proof that men are energy vampires because they are passed down the female line.
MEZ, hugs, that’s awful.
You’re so right about death being sanitised, and out of sight, out of mind.
MEZ — I’m so sorry, hugs if you want them.
Mitrochondria being inherently from the mother make men energy vampires?! How does that even work? (And does she have the foggiest clue wtf most people mean by energy vampire?)
Um…yes? Unless there’s a different way to get to hell?
Is the tantrum over yet?
Well, energy vampire is my translation. It seemed to fit. What she actually says is
Not so long ago, I discovered how literal men’s tapping on female energy was. Not just organised, political, social, but essential, constitutive of who they are. This finding takes me even further in the assumption that men’s organised system is a mirror structure that fits their elementary needs and biological constitution.
Mary Daly defines a plug as:
a male fitting used to make an electrical connection by insertion into a receptacle or body and having one or more contact making parts or blades that serve to close a circuit. (In Pure Lust, p. 24)
She then defines men as:
drainers of energy whose plugged-in fittings closed women’s circuits, sapping the flow of gynergetic currents so that these cannot circulate within / among women. (In Pure Lust, p. 24)
Well, it turns out that men are in fact plugged to female energy-makers.
Through mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA).
and later
What teachers (male lie and bore-ducation) never told us in class is that mtDNA, as opposed to nuclear DNA, is transmitted only by the mother. That is, the DNA is purely female, and so the cell’s unique energy maker / energy transformer is female. It is transmitted generation after generation only by the mother. During conception, the mitochondries of the sperm, (located in the tail, which is what gives it the energy to propel itself) drop off before it enters in the ovula and it is the woman’s mitochondries that then give the energy for both nuclear DNA to fuse and duplicate, and it will thus be her mitochondries that she will transmit to her children, girls and boys alike.

Katz — in a very technical sense, yes those are both death wishes. In practice “go to hell” carries about as much weight as “go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200”. Contra, before tonight I’d never heard “take a long walk off a short bridge/pier” as anything besides “go drown”.
Blockquote monster strikes again! To make it clearer, I’m redoing the comment.
To be fair to her, energy vampire is my translation. It seemed to fit. What she actually says is:
