This is a good article on transracial adoption.

I enjoy the fact that even on journalfen, folks ain't buying the "but she chooooses to be a whiny sack of crap who is nothing without her man" thing as being feminist.

People are stupid and read the comments. Never read the comments on news stories!

How many people were in my god damned house:

Mom, dad, 2 brothers, and random girl=6 [including me]
Friend and mom=up to 8 now
Aunt and five kids with random guest= 15
Aunt and 3 kids with random guest= 20
Aunt there grandkid's= 24
Uncle and 3 kids=28
Grandma=29

....I'm creeped out by this will.

GRR!!!!

Tis the season to complain about how the PC gnomes are going to make you not say Merry Christmas. You know what? The PC Gnomes don't exist. They aren't hanging around with their gnome guns trying to force you to say Happy Holidays. The reason people say happy holidays is because we want a greeting that shoves the whole whack in. To me, the whole mess starting in October and running up to New Years has very little to do with Christmas, and more to do with a sort of festive season of consumerism and parties. People of other religions or no religion enjoy participating in that season, which is all good. But Christmas is really specific to me. My family members who don't celebrate Christmas[ they are Jehovah's Witnesses] may buy their holiday oreos or go to a black friday sale, but really, why say Merry Christmas to them? They don't celebrate it.

We live in a larger world than we used to, and since we don't know what every single random person celebrates, whether they are the sort who go to Christmas mass, but don't think that say, Nov 25th is Christmas or the sort that celebrate Cephalopodmas, it's easier to just say holiday and get it over with.

Something rubs me the wrong way about this, but I don't know why.

The horror that is Twilight.

Spira wouldn't be such a bad place to live if it weren't for the invincible space whale indiscriminately killing the population. And if the souls of people killed by said invincible space whale didn't turn into murderous monsters.
heh.

I read this thing and I liked it. I think womanist musings showed it to me.

...woah...worst family ever.

Transgendered people in fanfiction.

I was amused by this story. Bigotry makes you funny.

Hey, it's the national transgender day of remembrance! Let's all remember those who died because of violence based on their gender presentation!

The reason why people are assuming the boyfriend is the hitter not the hittee is because that is a dangerous situation for this woman here.

If you find yourself in a situation like this woman's, you can call the domestic violence helpline. It's scary, but this behavior will escalate.

Ho ho ho, they said free trade heroin! I'm goofing off hard core!

from cripchick, via mattbastard, what the KKK is doing now that racism is over.

You know, I'm a special special snowflake too. I learned to read at age 4, blah blah blah, I'm an armchair psychology expert, blah blah blah. But in a large society like this, I think we need some sort of school system, so at least most people can read and add and subtract. If we left it up to chance, things would be even more unequal than they are. Some kids would have amazing learning environments- for example, my dad always lectures me about science at random- and some kids would have terrible learning environments because their parents are probably so busy surviving they wouldn't have any time to teach their kids anything at all. At least in a classroom, they end up knowing that biology exists and that such a thing as calculus can happen to you.

TEENAGERS ARE HAVING SEX WITHOUT CONDOMS!!!! *dies of horror* Note: teach your boys some decency and sense so they don't go around sticking it in without wrapping that junk.

Kind hearted activists have donated to the Duanna Johnson's funeral fund. You can be one of them. from cripchick

I'm linking this as a bookmark. Seriously, it's 3 AM in the morning.

Kind hearted people are gathering a fund for the funeral of a slain transgendered Memphian.

Athetists post ad about their beliefs. American Family Association guy is loltastic.

Dude, really, your kink is not OK. I mean seriously, we're all well within our rights to mock your love of series with pictures of 8 years olds in lingerie. I'd like to note that women drawing lolicon wank material doesn't make it feminist. This sort of thing is why I reserve the right to think your kink is not OK. Wank off to cartoon 8 year olds all you want, but I'll mock you and call you a pedo.

I don't get why my blog is linked on the daily PUMA. Did I ever say I don't like Obama? Huh? *confused*

Hey, I found this handy chart about attitudes about racism by party!

Some lady I don't know has something against transsexuals or bisexuals or something, so let's make fun of her.

Thanks creepy guy. This is why I can't write a good fucked up relationship story without needing to put a warning on it saying if your relationship is like this, call this number.

Touch fuzzy, get dizzy. Burn cross, get mocked.

We dodged a bullet there with Palin. If she was going on spending sprees on the campaign, who knows what monkey business she could have gotten up to behind McCain's back?

Desoto county[this is in Mississippi for non locals] declares a state of emergency because of white power conference.

Best spoiler thread ever.

How my brain works:

daydreaming component: 50%- a full half of that is devoted to fandom.

working component: 10%

worrying: 40%.

Stupid freers wonder about racial profiling in child vampire drawing case.

I am selfish. Instead of worrying about the massive human pain that is caused by our immigration policies, now I'm like what will this do to the election!?
