Take flight

[clevermanka]

It's a free country and all, but if you looked at, linked to, or posted the leaked photos of Jennifer Lawrence and other women, I am judging you, hard, and am really close to removing you from consideration for future interactions. I don't feel I need to explain why, but this article does a nice job. And this this Tumblr post sums it up even more succinctly:

If you say
"Don’t take a nude pic if you’re a famous woman and don’t want it leaked."

You're also saying
"Don’t wear a hoodie if you don’t want to be mistaken for a criminal and shot."
"Don’t get drunk at a party if you don’t want to be sexually assaulted."
"Don’t argue with a cop if you don’t want to get killed."
"Don’t walk home by yourself if you don’t want to get raped."

Victim blaming 101: Everyone should live in fear from ever doing anything.

To which I say


Today's Tumblr is Tuesday, September 2: Wings.

This was my first Labor Day Weekend spent at home in ten years. It was amazing and relaxing and wow do I not miss KCRF even one teensy little bit. I thought about writing up a post about it yesterday but then realized Oh fuck a bunch of that. I'm not out there? I'm not even gonna think about it! and it was wonderful.

I think it's easy to get distracted by all the shops, especially because our culture is so commercialized. But there are a lot of fun shows out there--Matthew Gurley's magic show, Bawdily Harm, the bird sanctuary folks. There aren't as many shows as there used to be, thanks to KCRF's shit management, but there are still ways to spend a day out there without it being shop-shop-shop all the time.

That's not so easy to do with kids, though, I realize.

I loved the comedy and music shows! Man, I'd forgotten about them. Now I want to watch Monty Python.
