coooooffeeeeeee

Oh man, I have no idea why I'm so tired.

Today I will actually catch up on comments, oh yes. I've only got about 20 left and most of them are comments in serious discussions that are due replies. I don't like to reply while incredibly tired (as opposed to *so* tired, as I am now), because I end up spewing a metric tonne of bullcacky and silliness. So my non-work agenda for the day is: comments, SD/NSD mod business, and the much belated Die Hard post. After tonight's SPN episode, I might be able to break out of the amber that's encased the writing portion of my brain, and work on the fic backlog too. It'll be nice to be all caught up. [PS. Kiji, don't forget to send me that cuddle meme prompt!]

For those of you who are tired of all the srs bzns posts, I have to disappoint you further. I'm working on a post about abusive relationships and sexual coercion that is most definitely going to be a downer. More because there are some things I need to get out, than because I need my flist to read them. As with the bullying post, I've wanted to do it for a long time, starting, stopping and deleting over and over, but I think I'll actually have the fortitude to get through it this time.

What else is in the queue... more about Facebook. I know, I know, but I want to advance the argument that those who use FB as their primary point of internet contact, and only use it to interact with existing friends, are missing out on the best part of the internet - which is meeting and chatting with people from all over the world. You're shutting the door on a whole house full of possibilities. Dunno. Probably more on that.

solidarity vs. allies

I've seen some debate around the term 'ally', the argument being that it's built on someone else's oppression. How do you feel about calling others/yourself an ally? I've seen the alternate term 'solidarity' advanced ("I'm doing solidarity work" vs. "I'm an ally"). Does this solve the problem/ignore another one?

SPN RPF AU that isn't

Why haven't I created a tag for these things? I'm a damn fool. A DAMN FOOL who's got to thoroughly rejig her tagging system.

Jensen's a now-openly gay Congressman with a military background. Misha's a writer and public intellectual. Jensen is trying to duck the speculation about their epic love, and return to the issues. On either The Daily Show, or Real Time With Bill Maher, he's finally talked into spilling. (Before you get into ship-warring-whackadoodlery, I just think the idea of a Jensen-like character trying to publicly 'explain' a Misha-like character - and their epic love - is hilarious).

"So you're a devout Christian."

"Well, I try to be."

"And you're sleeping with a devout - male! - Buddhist."

*laughs, ducks head* "Yeah."

"How... ecumenical of you. Next you'll be sleeping with Republicans, in an effort to ~bring the House together."

SPN finale

No doubt some of you will disown me, but I'm generally satisfied and would have been happy with it as the series finale (with some adjustments obviously). It was... pretty much what I expected. With a couple of surprises good and bad, along the way. It would have been more satisfying if the season as a whole had been stronger, but yeah. ( Read more... )
