Bisexuals in media: "I don't really like labels, you know. I just date who I want. We don't have to call it anything."
Bisexuals in real life: "Hey, I'm bi! Have I mentioned that I'm bi? You have to understand, I am bisexual. Bi. I am bi. I love being bi. Did you know that I'm bi? Check out my bi pride shirt/poster/pin/shoes/tattoo. Isn't it awesome that I'm bi?"
I apologize greatly for the slur my idiot roommate said during the stream. Things have been thrown at him and I reprimanded him harshly. I am sorry he was such a dick.
I have switched over to playing Dragon Age: Origins, and you will not have to worry about his dumbass being involved.
I'm sorry I was gone, but look, I made you some content. Dragon Age 2 content specifically.

sarah j mass antis you say? look. i checked out the first throne of glass book from the library when i was ten years old. and my friend, i was obsessed. finally i’d found what i would later realize was my favorite trope in fiction: female heroines rejecting the call. women saying "i’ve suffered enough." the first book is off to a great start, fifth grade me will not put it down. this girl is badass, she’s ruthless, she’s selfish, and she feels no obligation to save the world. "but it’s your destiny!" calls the journey, "but you’re the only one who can save us!" and the heroine says absolutely not. i will not die for you after everything i’ve already lost. and then — and then !! we make it another book or two and we discover: our heroine, who has staunchly declared that saving the world is neither her obligation nor responsibility, is in fact a long lost princess! and a magical one too! now, i don’t know about you, but i think the ruler of my country has an obligation and a responsibility to save said country. unless she wants to give up her crown and let the country democratize, her absolute power had better be used for good. i was devastated. i finished the series out of spite and never reread.
My main issue with Maas, aside from the racism and colonialism in her real life (and books), is that the fae have been my Special Interest since I was born. And what she did to them is unforgivable. Especially since she's sparked a trend and now every single fairy book (unless it's by Catherynne Valente) is the exact same garbage over and over again. I finally understand why all the vampire girlies got so mad about Twilight. But, hey, at least Meyer still had her vamps drinking blood. So they at least retained the main defining feature of their kind. Can't say that about Maas-Fae.
And I agree with you about heroines. I love a murderous, independent woman who does not care if she's the chosen one. We absolutely need more of that. But! If girl wants to be an actual literal monarch, she's gotta answer that call. If she wants to say "shove this crown so far up your ass it comes out your mouth" that's cool, no qualms there. But otherwise, no. No no no no. If she wants that position, that power, she's gotta take the responsibilities that come with it
Why does Dragon Age 2 make me so very thirsty?!
Ugh, whatever. Just come join me on twitch and watch me drool

Forget the Myers-Briggs fucking personality assessment. I am dead tired of hearing if someone is an INFP or an ESLQ or whatever. I want to know if someone is melancholic or choleric. Bring back the four humors. I wanna see “Kaley, 16, phlegmatic” when I go to someone’s blog. Who is with me. Lets make this happen
So, I, uh, found these in the road in front of my house.
Just a bunch of unfired bullets just in the road.
I'm so confused right now

This is one of the most bad faith takes I've seen on this, and I've seen some pretty bad ones.
I'm not going to argue on this. I mean, that whole post is about how there really is no more arguing to be done here, you either value people's lives or you value personal entertainment. You've gone for the latter. You just don't want to admit it so you spew out this garbage to justify it to yourself.
If you want to play the game, just play the stupid game. It's not like anyone is going to physically stop you. But for goodness sake, shut up about it. You're all just making yourselves look even worse.
BTW your transmedicalism and antisemitism are showing. Thought you might want to know
I am really tempted to try to take an inventory of all the books I own. It'd be useful for me to keep track of what I have so I don't accidentally get duplicates. And it'd be kind of neat to post it here because I love to see what people have in their libraries.
But.....
I own over 300 books, at least. Probably a lot more. And, due to limited shelf space, I kind of have them stashed everywhere around my house.
It would be a huge undertaking for me just to make a full list of them all. And then organize that list. And I know myself. I would absolutely include details about what specific edition I have. Have I finished them? For the unread ones, have I just not started them yet, or are they dnf? And on and on and on....
So much effort and I'm not sure if I can really commit to it
Random thought:
A Victorian Era zombie outbreak. The situation is relatively quickly contained. Society largely goes back to normal.
But, because rich Victorians were obsessed with the paranormal and easily bored, it becomes fashionable to have a zombie or two chained up in your garden.
Like, Lord Rich As Fuck is coming over to discuss a marriage agreement with your kids, and you decide to impress him by showing off the zombie kids you have chained up over by the rose bushes.
Messy bi who dresses like a four-year-old despite being in my 30s
