An old friend wrote me a text message:

“I am real excited about your new lease on life but you gave up on the people that wanted to be apart of it. Sorry to put in a text and maybe we aren’t but wanted to keep up with life”

So. What is that about? I have a pet peeve against people…

I think if they really want to be a part of your life, they wouldn’t do things LIKE drop in unannounced and expect you to cater to them, because they would know better. What a shitty text to get.

Oh look, a message from my best friend I have not met yet

““For the last three decades many Americans have puzzled over a system that gives an R to a movie in which a women is carved up by a chainsaw and an NC-17 to one that shows a woman sexually pleasured. From such ratings one might conclude that sexual violence against women is OK for American teenagers to see, but that they must be 18 to see consensual sex. What message does this send to the kids the MPAA presumably means to protect?””

- Carrie Rickey

(via fireworkselectricbright)

“You have to question a cinematic culture which preaches artistic expression, and yet would support a decision that is clearly a product of a patriarchy-dominant society, which tries to control how women are depicted on screen. The MPAA is okay supporting scenes that portray women in scenarios of sexual torture and violence for entertainment purposes, but they are trying to force us to look away from a scene that shows a woman in a sexual scenario which is both complicit and complex. It’s misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman’s sexual presentation of self. I consider this an issue that is bigger than this film.”

Glad to see even a small shift in sexual assault handling in the military:

To me, at least, this is a really big deal that his actions and their consequences aren’t going to be under the purview of the armed forces. I don’t even want to talk about the irony of his role in the Air Force.

When people complain about the present, and bemoan the passing of the “good old days,” I just think of things like this (Manhatten or Seal Beach, in during LA’s second oil boom).

(Click for the video link) Really great fast and brief explanation of federal debt and deficit. Yes, the sequester has happened, and yes, it’s fucking terrible for the majority of Americans, but I still want to UNDERSTAND the general economic concepts behind why republicans think it’s a good idea. (Even though austerity measures are being debunked left and right as legitimate tools to fix flailing economies, that’s another post).

Trying to use the internet more as a tool for knowledge as this semester ends, and I end up essentially housebound due to tiny baby care, and less for LOLZ CAT FARTS

I’ve read none of these. I better get on it.

Skip Frazen, he’s super boring. I never finished White Teeth, though I really like Zadie Smith (keep an eye out for any anthologies she’s edited) and David Mitchell is one of my favorite living authors
