I dropped the fbomb in front of my boyfriend’s mother last night. In related news, it’s time for me to cut back on cussing.

Abortion affiliates banned from participating in... →
Unless some last-minute agreement is brokered, the program, which receives $9 in federal funds for every $1 in state funds, will be either phased out or cut off by the end of March. At least 130,000 poor Texas women will lose access to cancer screenings, well-woman exams and contraception.
Republican lawmakers worked overtime last legislative session to design language that would keep any...

Every time someone uses the phrase “World Wide Web” an internet fairy dies
From wikipedia:
The terms Internet and World Wide Web are often used in everyday speech without much distinction. However, the Internet and the World Wide Web are not one and the same. The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks. In contrast, the Web is one of the services that runs on...

My mom sent me vanilla beans for valentine’s day!
Also my income tax return will be enough for me to buy a not-shitty new computer! Without asking for my parents’ help!

In “If Men Could Menstruate,” Gloria Steinem makes the persuasive argument that “Whatever a ‘superior’ group has will be used to justify its superiority, and whatever an ‘inferior’ group has will be used to justify its plight.”...

“A major criticism of much of this research is that both “gender” and...”
– Bolded the important bits. I’m writing a paper on the women in tech thing and some of the research I’m finding is fascinating (most isn’t fascinating but w/e) ANYWAYS the notion that technology is not gender-neutral is new to me (idk why shut up) and I think it’s not exactly...

Feminazis for Misandry™
gagarinparty:
When I go to bars and see sexy men in tight jeans or shirts, I have to make uninvited advances, lewd comments, and if they’re really hot, I’ll grope their junk as they pass by me in a crowd. It’s not my fault, though. If they would dress more modestly, I wouldn’t have to do those things.
This is why I’m a feminist.
After 5 years I can still be entertained and surprised by the existence of internet-illiterate cs professors.
On a happier note I worked the word “arriviste” into this paper.
Maybe arriviste can be my new favorite word.

I really can’t stand the “all or nothing” attitude some lefties have. “Every company oppresses workers to some degree, so using strategies like consumer boycotts is futile.” On one level that’s true - a boycott isn’t going to stop the phenomenon of oppression - but come on. Refusing to buy from a company like American Apparel because its ads and its CEO...

DISCOUNT VALENTINE’S DAY CANDY.
Ok so I blogged about this on Halloween but I’d like to remind everyone that most mainstream brands of chocolate are made with cocoa produced by child laborers, many of them slaves. A list of brands that use fair trade cocoa can be found here. Hershey, Mars, Cadbury, Ghiradelli, Godiva, Nestle are all no good. These companies have the...
