God you are so cringey. One day you’ll realize how...

what bug crawled up anon’s ass?

If it is the same person and not just somebody else copy/pasting their words: Another blog deleted a reblog of a post of theirs that had some really valid points about not whitewashing Black Panther, because they’re an aphobe and that blog has a no platforming policy. This user asked why. When they got an answer they basically laughed and said they weren’t going to read it -- which just tells me and everyone they weren’t interested in getting an answer and just wanted to stir shit. I had a laugh about this in a reply and I guess my very minor contribution was enough to warrant these very clumsy attempts at -- I don’t know. But they seem to think I’m really distressed about being 33. 

I'll follow you once I get over there (having issues with PayPal atm, so don't know when that will be.) Are you staying here too?

Self-explanatory (and I’ve tagged this “julie has a vacation tag” for anybody who is sick of seeing these.) 

Questions and discussion under the cut!

Hell yeah! I'm really mad and it's a huge relief if somebody else is also mad. And actually, I don't think it's an original idea. I'm pretty sure I only felt secure in saying stuff like that because I saw other feminists getting pissed about it too. And it was like suddenly I realized I didn't have to kiss men's asses or pat them on the head and throw other feminists under the bus to appease them.

I wasted so much time thinking I had to make feminism palatable to men for them to listen to me. I don't want anyone else making the same mistakes. Look at Emma Watson and Beyonce. They're advocating like the most basic, accessible, mainstream feminism there is and they're super likable, sexy people on top of that and men still flip out over it. No matter what you do men are gonna get pissed when you tell them that they're privileged and that the way the world is isn't fair to women. I think some of them really think that this is equality or they're ignorant to sexism but I think a lot of them know the world is made for them & they like it that way.

Verizon gave me the run around for months when I went to Europe, I was charged an extra 30$ for 3 months…they suck.

It's seriously about $7 and I refuse to pay at this point because I'm FURIOUS. The sheer number of HOURS I've spent on the phone, getting the runaround, being told it was solved only to get ANOTHER bill (at one point it was up to a couple hundred dollars because they were tacking on late fees), and now THIS? I'm just beyond angry. I'm so glad that I kept the documented conversation of at least the last rep I talked to - I had a notebook going with the name of every single rep, but given that I thought this was solved when the bills finally stopped coming and rep #10 million said that everything was fixed & fine, I'll have to dig for the more extensive records. I just refuse to pay something that I shouldn't have been charged for in the first place, that Verizon stated REPEATEDLY would be taken off the account, and now that it's gone to collections I fully anticipate a hellish time of getting collections to stop anything but again there is no way in hell I'm paying Verizon or their agency something I never owed in the first place.

As all of those things, you must participate in intersectional feminism. You cannot force yourself into women of color...

I love paper journals. Pretty paper journals with blank pages just scream of promise, and I always get them and plan to write background for novels in them. And then I usually end up putting the planning in Word docs anyway, so I have a ton of lovely half-filled or barely-written-in journals. BUT I LOVE THEM.

Reason why I end up putting all the info in Word docs? My typing speed is about 10x faster than my writing speed. I AM A VERY FAST TYPIST.

I have a three-part multigenerational novel planned out in my head that I really want to write, but I have so much other stuff to work on that I haven't really started it. I have so much worldbuilding for it.

One of my...idk if it's a "pet peeve" ("pet difficulty" might be a better phrase) with worldbuilding/writing that always tends to get me is trying to figure out fictional distances/travel times. Thinking about "how far could someone cover on horseback with or without changing horses vs. covering terrain on foot vs. having roads/not having roads" is kind of a pet peeve of mine. I think I once wrote some of that information down somewhere (maybe in a journal!) but I have no idea what I did with it, and it's hard to keep it in the forefront of my brain when figuring things out.
