They don't do shit and they haven't gone extinct

I posted a ton of political, racial, feminist, etc. posts on my tumblr today, as well as one post about sloths and one about abusers. Because Yay Sloths and Fuck Abusers.

I hope to post something about Coriolanus, but honestly I'm not sure what to say beyond It Was Amazing.

Knowing that you can't think of what to say because it was so amazing is really enough of a review for most of us.

Good point. Anything that leaves me speechless is either overwhelmingly good or mind-bendingly bad.

I'll try to come up with some talking points. Or just gesture wildly while making incoherent noises, it's a toss up.

My boyfriend just implied, no, STATED that my alcohol influenced amorous approaches while cooking dinner were due to me, ". . . feeling guilty about seeing your Loki-boyfriend tomorrow night."

Um, maybe?

What, like he was complaining? Pffffffffft.

He was bemused.

The annoying thing is I took the day off work to go to DC to hang out and catch the show tonight. Woke up last night with a seriously upset stomach, I didn't even have that much to drink! Am chilling at home hoping I feel ok to make the trip at all, even if I *sniff* miss seeing the dinos at the Natural History Museum.

I hope you feel better SOON!

Thanks, me too! The cats are doing their best to help.

I'm about to haul my sad carcass out of the house, but was checking my email first. Justin picked us up two tickets for the March 9th shows at the Landmark Theater chains, there is one right in town! *squee*

I agree with this thought!

Amazing is good :D

Amazing was REALLY good.

I saw the gifs reaction post and grinned like an idiot :D

OMG, the sloths. I am dying. ;D

A new life motto, I am telling you.

YAY SLOTHS

One of my favorite deadly sins and adorable!

Don't forget about thin privilege.

Yes, because hearing "eat a sandwich" once in a while is TOTALLY just as bad as being shown and told that your body is an abomination in every single way every single day and that you are worthless as a person because you obviously have no self-control.

As someone who has worked with anorectics, yes, they do get it every bit as bad.

I agree it's bad. But it is not systemic to the culture. We see (unhealthily) skinny girls held up as ideals all the time. In magazines, on catwalks, in television, movies, etc. Fat girls are not held in that regard.

Interesting tumblr posts today. Just had to note that, as a newcomer to fanfic, I've appreciated ao3's (apparent) simplicity and structure (that is, it gets me where I want to go and gets me what I want). I can, as an outsider, see the reasoning behind the concerns of when it first started.

I <3 AO3 so much. Man, the download feature for members alone is worth my (admittedly small) annual donation. The OTW overall is an amazing organization.
