Happy Things
Once you reduce the amount of time spent with people who bring you down and start only hanging with those who raise you up, you realize how lovely the world can be.
Rape Culture
“That’s how sex is presented to boys - it’s not
intimacy; it’s not the loving, egalitarian [part] that we get something
out of, it’s something we do to the other. We raise women to survive in a
rape culture, because we raise women to know these things. We do
nothing to talk to men about not raping. But we do talk to women about
how to protect themselves, which is further why we place the blame on
women when something happens. ‘Well didn’t you know not to do that?
Didn’t you know not to wear that dress? Or didn’t you know not to walk
down that street at that hour of the night?’”

For people who love animals so much, ya'll some bitches
So, not too long ago some of my coworkers found a kitten out by the loading docks at work. I work with a number of animal lovers and so, one of the girls who just moved to a new apartment took the kitten in. This was a month or so ago.
This morning they were standing around, gleefully laughing about this kitten's struggles with being newly declawed. And all I could think of was-Ya'll some bitches.
Ok, so my vegan/animal loving sister would NEVER let me get away with not knowing how cruel it is to declaw a cat. But, I don't think that this knowledge is that rare. Many shelters REFUSE to give you a cat unless you sign an agreement acknowledging that declawing is cruel and that you will not subject your pet to it. Even the HUMANE SOCIETY (Yea, the one that puts cats to sleep cause there are too many of them) has a portion of their website devoted to explaining the cruelty and consequences of this procedure:
How about when you get a pet, acknowledging that they are going to fuck some shit up? Cats aren't dogs, you can't beat them into submission. The more you harass a cat, the more likely it will be to piss on everything you own. Declaw it? Fixed your furniture, but now it will bite you. And be mad.
Just wanted you guys to know this!

Even the HUMANE SOCIETY (Yea, the one that puts cats to sleep cause there are too many of them) has a portion of their website devoted to explaining the cruelty and consequences of this procedure:
What is declawing?
Too often, people think that declawing is a simple surgery that removes a cat's nails—the equivalent of having your fingernails trimmed. Sadly, this is far from the truth.
Declawing traditionally involves the amputation of the last bone of each toe. If performed on a human being, it would be like cutting off each finger at the last knuckle.
I was disappointed that so many purported animal lovers (even some shelter volunteers), would laugh and thereby tacitly supporting this cruel surgery.After effects
Medical drawbacks to declawing include pain, infection and tissue necrosis (tissue death), lameness, and back pain. Removing claws changes the way a cat's foot meets the ground and can cause pain similar to wearing an uncomfortable pair of shoes. There can also be a regrowth of improperly removed claws, nerve damage, and bone spurs.
For several days after surgery, shredded newspaper is typically used in the litter box to prevent litter from irritating declawed feet. This unfamiliar litter substitute, accompanied by pain when scratching in the box, may lead cats to stop using the litter box. Some cats may become biters because they no longer have their claws for defense.
How about when you get a pet, acknowledging that they are going to fuck some shit up? Cats aren't dogs, you can't beat them into submission. The more you harass a cat, the more likely it will be to piss on everything you own. Declaw it? Fixed your furniture, but now it will bite you. And be mad.
This is a declawed cat.
Just wanted you guys to know this!
This should make everyone mad
Scott Olsen, 24, a Marine veteran who did two tours in Iraq, was hit by a police projectile during the brutal police crackdown on Occupy Oakland on 10/26. He is in serious but stable condition at an Oakland hospital with traumatic head injury. Scott is a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War.Also: Video footage distributed on the Internet shows a protester, identified as Olsen, being carried away by others with a head wound. The cause was unclear. While he lay wounded, the footage appears to show an officer tossing something - perhaps a tear gas canister - toward people trying to help him.

South Bend.....shady.......?
Here is what I found about South Bend on Tumblr:
*Sidenote: It was my first time in South Bend, and as beautiful at Notre Dame’s campus is, I don’t think I’ll be going back… very shady city.Some people are so lame. Aw, did South Bendy scare you? Pussy.
We are leaving Iraq
Found this over at Think Progress and thought it was worth sharing:
So, when it suites them they hate democracy and President Bush? Ooooookkkk.......
8 years, 260 days since Secretary of State Colin Powell presented evidence of Saddam Hussein’s biological weapons programAny body else hear John McCain bitching about pulling troops out of Iraq? I was grateful when I heard Secretary of State Hilary Clinton defend the decision of Meet the Press this weekend:
8 years, 215 days since the March 20, 2003 invasion of Iraq
8 years, 175 days since President George W. Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” speech on the USS Abraham Lincoln
4,479 U.S. military fatalities
30,182 U.S. military injuries
468 contractor fatalities
103,142 – 112,708 documented civilian deaths
2.8 million internally displaced Iraqis
$806 billion in federal funding for the Iraq War through FY2011
$3 – $5 trillion in total economic cost to the United States of the Iraq war according to economist Joseph E. Stiglitz and Linda J. Blimes
$60 billion in U.S. expenditures lost to waste and fraud in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001
0 weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq
“They should have raised those issues when President Bush agreed to the agreement to withdraw troops by the end of this year,” she said.BOOM! In case you needed more proof that the GOP agenda the last couple years has been limited to opposing anything the Obama administration does. They must've forgotten that this was a policy approved by the Bush administration. Also, they seem to conveniently forgotten that the Iraqi parliament approved this plan in 2008. What happened to democracy? From the Los Angeles Times:
Iraq’s Cabinet on Sunday overwhelmingly accepted a plan to end the U.S. military presence in Iraq by the end of 2011 and sent it on to parliament for approval, where it faces a fight from lawmakers who consider it a sellout to the Americans. T[...] The agreement is to replace the United Nations mandate expiring Dec. 31 that gives U.S. forces the legal basis for being in Iraq. [...] The agreement calls for American forces to pull out of Iraqi cities by the end of June and fully withdraw from Iraq by Dec. 31, 2011.The article is entitled:

Free check ups for lady parts....or How I learned to stop complaining and love the President
Ok, I can get pretty mad at the President. I've accused him of being more conservative than he is (he is a little bit). Got mad at him over healthcare and the abortion restrictions in the new law (that a Blue Dog Democrat proposed). Was upset about the incursion into Libya (NATO led effort and now Gadaffi is dead). And in general have felt like he was working against Democratic principles.
Then I went to the Dr.
When I pulled out my debit card to pay the $20-25 or whatever the copay was, the woman waved me off. There was no charge! There is no charge for your yearly check up for your lady parts. This is part of the new healthcare law that recently went into effect. My insurance company now has to cover that cost completely. Take that!
So, next time I want to get mad at President Obama and bitch about how he has done nothing for me, I will remember that I can go to the doctor for free. Yay!

POOR PEOPLE-Blame yourselves.........?
From Huffpost:
The Children’s Defense Fund asked reporter Julia Cass to visit families across the country like the Harper family of Columbus, Ohio, to see how children were being affected by economic downturn. Sixteen-year-old Haleigh said her biggest concern over the last few months has been “not knowing what the next day is going to bring. It’s not knowing like whether we’re going to have …” her sister Lindsey, 14, finished the sentence: “Food in the house”. The girls’ mother lost her job, and although their father is still working hard, he’s making less than he used to, and his hours have just been cut back. The family’s home is in foreclosure, and recently they were accepted for food stamps. The Harpers have just joined the growing numbers of America’s working poor.
According to Cass, “For almost two decades, their parents, Sandy and
Walter Harper, have inched towards middle class – although at a pace of
two steps forward and one or two steps back, because their best
positions more often than not ended when the companies they worked for
went out of business or sold out to other companies. The Harpers’ hard
work has not enabled them to consistently provide their daughters with
safety or security. After nearly 20 years of labor, they’ve had to call
on the safety net to put food on the table and to get medical insurance
for Haleigh and Lindsey. ‘I am terrified for my girls’ future,’ Walter
said. ‘Something seriously has to be done because people can’t survive
anymore.’”
Walter and Sandy both had good jobs in 2009.“In a very brief period Sandy calls ‘the golden age,’ they bought a home – the first they’d ever owned. ‘It was something we’d always dreamed about and planned on,’ Walter said. They looked at foreclosed homes that didn’t need too much work and selected a small three-bedroom in a lower middle class neighborhood.” But as both parents’ companies went through restructurings, closings, and layoffs, within a year they fell behind in their mortgage payments. Sandy’s last job was working at the catalogue call center of a small woman’s sports clothing company that was bought by Gap. But last February, “Sandy stopped working when she broke her hand. She needed surgery and received short-term disability payments. She was supposed to call into Gap regularly but didn’t receive the notice specifying that requirement until too late and was fired as a ‘no call, no show’ . . . Now Sandy has ‘the job of looking for a job,’ as she put it.”
Walter had been earning $1,000 a week installing movie rental kiosks until his company went out of business. His old employer gave him a job installing marble and granite countertops—at $13 an hour, no benefits. But then in September, Walter’s hours were cut back, and the family fell below the official poverty guideline of $22,350 for a family of four - the latest setback in a year of setbacks. Walter’s still on the lookout for better paying work. “‘I was offered a job at $15 an hour, but it was seven days a week. I said I needed Sundays for church and family.’ The Harpers are very active in their church. Sandy runs the youth group, which includes Haleigh and Lindsey. Walter helps feed the homeless on Friday nights. All four volunteer at a soup kitchen. Occasionally, they’ve taken in homeless teenagers. ‘We’re the kind of family that helps others,’ Haleigh said.”
Where is the help for them? Cass notes the family is currently trying to save their home through a federal program called Hardest Hit, created by the Obama Administration to help families dealing with a loss of income avoid foreclosure. They’re stuck in a loop of paperwork requirements. They’ve been able to get Medicaid for Haleigh and Lindsey, though Walter and Sandy still have no health insurance. Now the same cycle that’s taken away the girls’ security for today is starting to eat at their hopes for tomorrow. Cass says, “The girls have not given up on the future, but their outlook has been tempered by the uncertainties they’ve experienced. This fall, Haleigh attends her regular high school for a half day and a career-oriented school the other half day to study surgical tech. She wants to become a surgeon. She’s heard that Ohio State has a good medical school but that it’s expensive. ‘One of my goals in life is to be able to help my parents – if they need money, to be like, “Hey, I got some.” But I don’t know. You’ve got to be realistic.’” The Harpers have become one more American family faced with vanishing dreams.

than grades and boys to worry about. Haleigh said her biggest concern

like whether we’re going to have…” Lindsey finished the sentence: “Food
in the house. With money being tight, there were times we didn’t have a
lot of food in the house but we always found some way to get it like
borrow money from family. But now we have food stamps; we recently got
accepted for food stamps.” Their mother lost her job, their father is

Ooooooo girl, you see that?
Is it even worth it to pay attention to the debates now? I hardly do, except to laugh. Herman Cain is sooooo much giggles. The best line I've heard in awhile-"Herman Cain seriously has to be a joke. Has anyone seen Dave Chappelle lately?" For reals. Google the video of him singing imagine there's no pizza to the tune of John Lennon's Imagine. OH MY GOSH.
Definitely the best thing that happened on CNN last night (Anderson Cooper let that shit be a free for all) was Rick Perry and Mitt Romney getting into it over healthcare and immigration.
Look at that shit. I am surprised they didn't get into a fit, especially after Romney put his hand on Perry's shoulder. There was much pointing of fingers in the face, which anyone who has been in a fight knows is usually a one way ticket to a punch. Reminds me of another contentious exchange that occurred recently.
Anyway, Romney won the battle for the mic. Herman Cain said the unemployed are responsible for their own plight.......and the crowd cheered. Does anyone think the GOP has a soul left? Or maybe they were bored since there were no gay soldiers to boo.
Update:
I don't want you to have to work too hard for this.

Herman Cain would like to play Sim City with your life
999.
You can't walk down the street without hearing people discuss Herman Cain's 999 tax plan. 9% income tax, 9% sales tax, 9% corporate tax. People like it because they don't have to think about it that much. Yea, 999........But yesterday on Meet the Press, Herman Cain admitted to host David Gregory that his plan would essentially be a tax INCREASE for many Americans.
By the way, Cain's 999 plan looks eerily similar to the default tax rates in Sim City. See.
He figures it won't be no thang to be the president, because he was really good at that Sim Pizza game they used to make him play.......

CAIN: There is a huge amount of public support for 999. Just talk to anybody. This is what’s going to help us get it passed. The public support.No, Herman, that actually makes people kind of mad.
GREGORY: I just want to break that down. So you’re acknowledging this morning, which I haven’t heard you do before, that there are individuals who are going to pay more in taxes.
CAIN: There are some, yes.
GREGORY: And you think those people are going to rally around tax reform where the wealthy pay less and middle-class and lower-income folks pay more.
CAIN: Yes.

Hey girl
Shower beer Vs. Shower mixed drink
If you have not experienced it words cannot describe the Zen that comes with a beer in the shower. Perhaps you want to start your pregaming a little early or maybe you just had a long day. But there is something about taking a relaxing shower while sipping on a beer that soothes the soul.
The best shower beer I ever had was in San Francisco, at my friend Susie's. I set my beer upon the ledge of a small window. The window was opened to the sunshine and blue skies outside (it was high up, no one could see the lady parts). I was on vacation. It was so peaceful. Shower beer.
So, this weekend I decided, why not shower mixed drink? I've been trying to curtail the beer intake and watch my girlish figure. This involves massive amounts of vodka tonic. And so, I embarked on my journey to shower mixed drink.
As I raise the glass to take my first sip, to my horror I saw ripples! The small opening at the tops of a bottle or can of beer allow for very little water to defile the beer inside. But this massive Pizza Express cup offered no protection for the drink inside. Fuuuucccckkkk.
Ok, ok. I had to only watch what I was doing when I took my sips, where the cup was. As I was setting down the cup to wash my hair, I decide the ledge of the tub was a bit too small for the cup. Fearing I would spill it, I placed my mixed drink on the back of the toilet and went about my showering.
A few seconds later I heard a sliding sound and barely caught my drink as it began to slide off the back of the toilet. Noooooooooooooooooooo! Saved.
As I went to take a victory sip, the cup slipped in my hand. When a beer spills, you have a few seconds to pick it up, save it, save some of what is inside. I watched, helplessly, as my mixed drink fell through the grates on the drain, never to be recovered.
In short, stick to shower beer.

Match Rejected My Profile Update
So, after I saw the dating profile of he who must not be named, I thought about trying out Match again. Only to find that I fucked up in the whole canceling thing and still had it. I recanceled it, but I still have it for another month or so. I decided to have a little fun. And to just be honest. So, I made this the main piece in my Match.com profile:
In all honesty, this cracked me up. I stopped taking this seriously a long time ago.
I am exhausted by these things. Yes, I am happy go lucky, out going. I like to go out or stay in. But, everyone writes that shit in their profiles. Everyone tries to church up their personality and who they are, putting this fake person on the internet, when we could all just be real in these things and stop wasting everyone else's time.Here is the response I received from Match:
I graduated from college. I want to get a masters, but I bombed the math portion of the GRE. Thinking of next steps.
I like to drink. Not like get wasted and throw up on you while crying about how you don't love me. But I like to drink vodka tonics until I am jovial and feeling extra great and wonderful. I even like to light up a cigarette sometimes when I have some drinks. That is a deal breaker for a lot of people, so I am going to stop pretending like I don't for the sake of looking better on the internet.
I don't eat meat. I don't care if you do.
If you don't have a college education and/or have kids, don't bother contacting me and I won't bother you.
I don't want to date someone overly religious. I go through periods of time when I don't even believe in God.
If you don't like to go down, we are not sexually compatible and you can move on now.
I am not the prettiest girl in the world, but I am not ugly. I'll give back rubs and bring you beers while you watch football. I go to the gym, but I am not ashamed to eat a bunch of food in a group of people. I'm goofy. I like my own jokes. I read way too much news and nonfiction. I write a blog. I volunteer. I have my own money and won't trip if we go dutch on a date. I can get ready in 15 minutes. I don't like to shop. I don't mind video games as long as it isn't obsessive. I have 2 fantasy football teams. I have a limited ability to sew. I have a tattoo.
Did you read this far? You must be bored. :)
Unfortunately, we are unable to approve it at this time because of content that could be considered offensive or otherwise inappropriate by some of our members. Please update your profile and resubmit for approval.Now, I know that online dating involves an awful lot of rejection. But this is like a new level. Now, even the SITE rejected me. I can't decide if it was for the use of the word shit or the reference to oral sex. We'll see. I changed the shit to stuff, but left in the oral sex. Come on Match.com, that shit is important to me!
In all honesty, this cracked me up. I stopped taking this seriously a long time ago.

Dying for Muffin Tops
So, I just overheard this statement at work- "Oh my god, one of my friends, she like, is getting muffin tops. And I thought, oh my god, if I get those, I'll die."
With that attitude, I would've been dead by high school. What is wrong with bitches these days? That is how you talk about your friend? By discussing the fact her muffin tops would make you want to die? WTF ladies, WTF. This is why I find it absolutely impossible to eat lunch with these women, because nothing is important beyond shit like that.
I am not knocking anyone's desire to be healthy. I am pretty excited that I have been able to get a work out in every day so far this week (ok, it is only Wednesday, but I am going today and got yesterday and Monday in). But health wasn't really how this was all framed, it was more looks.
I wish I would've saved it, but I found this picture of a number of women of different sizes and they were all Olympic athletes. It was meant to challenge the notion that to be healthy one has to be super skinny.
OH MY GOD I HAVE MUFFIN TOPS. But that doesn't make me want to die.
