Point the gun at your own foot, not mine

First off, I need to get two things off my chest:

WHAT THE FUCK, WISCONSIN? Seriously. What in the fucking fuck? I would expect this sort of bullshit from Kansas, but Wisconsin. I thought you were better than us that.

And FUCK YOU, U.S. SENATE. This wasn't surprising news, but incredibly disappointing. The most nauseating thing about it? Of the paltry number of women senators, five of them voted against it. Five. FIVE WOMEN VOTED AGAINST EQUAL COMPENSATION FOR THEIR OWN SEX. I just...I can't...I...I'm... *sigh* I'm just gonna put this here:



Yesterday was not a good day for progressives.

Fyeahfanvids.tumblr. I...didn't need to know this existed. Because, um...yeaaaah.

I have an appointment with Dr. Khosh (I don't remember which one) at 3:00 Friday. One hundred ninety-five dollar fee for the first consulting appointment. JFC.



Once in a while I daydream about if I'd pursued acting as a career. Then I'm reminded of the ridiculous working conditions they suffer.

Speaking of actors, here is an interesting essay about Benedict Cumberbatch's weird face. The first time I watched the Sherlock series, I was struck by how I didn't find him attractive at all, but his charisma kept me anchored to him. I couldn't not look at him. Then I made the Sherlock coat and I spent a lot of time (a lot of a lot of time) looking at him. Then I re-watched the series and discovered that my opinion/taste had changed and now I found him very attractive indeed. But what I love best about his face (and Martin Freeman's) is how mobile it is. I have a ridiculously expressive face myself, and I exaggerate the quality on a regular basis. I like seeing what e4q referred to as "cartoon face" in other people.

I agree with Gretchen, and with you!

Although, as far as Wisconsin goes, when you're outspent by nearly 8:1, it's hard to catch up. And that's just the money from Walker's campaign; it doesn't include outside ads by superPACs. At least the Dems now have a majority in the Senate there, even if Walker stayed in place.

I didn't expect anything less from our illustrious Republican women in the Senate. I'm convinced they would eat their young, let alone throwing their own gender under the bus.

OUCH! Here's hoping you get one heck of a lot of medical treatment/advice/etc. for that price! Especially since they don't take insurance (or at least I read that on their website the other day). Still, you may be able to file on your own, assuming you have insurance.

Cumberbatch's face is not at all classically beautiful, but it certainly is striking! Funny-I'm so used to seeing him in his Sherlock role that he doesn't look right with any other hair color!

WE ARE SMART WOMEN YES YES.

Good point about the money = success/power. BLAH.

I'm so used to seeing him in his Sherlock role that he doesn't look right with any other hair color!

I felt the same about Tom Hiddleston at first, because all I'd seen him in was The Avengers. Then I exposed myself to about eighty bajillion images of him on Tumblr and now I'll take him with any sort of hair color (or outfit, or setting, or anything anything at all) at all. YES PLEASE.

I think I'm going to adopt that as my new response for people with whom I disagree. Because who can argue with awesome boots? NOBODY THAT'S WHO.
