I’m going to high-five this lady so hard when I see her tonight. 87, still ravin’ #daftpunk #weewaa
Big surprise: Wikipedia editor who decided Women Novelists aren’t the same thing as Novelists (http://t.co/6CMQ4r3F1F) is anti-abortion, pro-Sununu:
He’s also a member of Church of LDS, which might explain some of his views on the proper place of women:
He also might like to make his Facebook page private sometime soon. Might make it easier to counter allegations of sexism. I mean, if it quacks like a duck…
I wrote about Grimes’ open letter and the assumptions people make about women for Junkee.
Grimes Is Small And Has A Vagina And Is Really Sick Of This Shit
This machine allows anyone to work for minimum wage for as long as they like. Turning the crank on the side releases one penny every 4.97 seconds, for a total of $7.25 per hour. This corresponds to minimum wage for a person in New York. This piece is brilliant on multiple levels, particularly as social commentary. Without a doubt, most people who started operating the machine for fun would quickly grow disheartened and stop when realizing just how little they’re earning by turning this mindless crank. A person would then conceivably realize that this is what nearly two million people in the United States do every day…at much harder jobs than turning a crank. This turns the piece into a simple, yet effective argument for raising the minimum wage.
god damn

Much as I enjoyed The Hold Steady’s cover of The Bear And The Maiden Fair on Game of Thrones last night, I thought it would look a bit different, something like:
There was a maiden fair down in the city
she was trying to meet some bards outside an inn
she’d only had like six or seven honey meads
but the booze it seemed to burn beneath her skin
there was a guy, the blacksmiths called him Bear
you almost never saw him in the winter
he knew the bards a little from some back-street deals
and said he might know someone who can help her
the bear and the maiden fair
even those King’s Landing girls need a man to stroke their hair
the bear and the maiden fair
some nights you just need someone there
AH-OH-WAH-HO-HO-HO-OH-OH
LUTE SOLO
etc
Winter is coming! Smash the patriarchy! (A Game Of Thrones recap, filled with plenty of spoilers.)
There’s fascinating subtext to be found in almost every scene – from the brilliant Small Council scene (Look at them all try to assert themselves and get close to Tywin, Dick of Power: Tyrion is “half a man”, Varys and Cersei have no manparts, Pycelle’s don’t work, and Littlefinger’s nickname doesn’t exactly scream Big Swinging Dick), to Astapor (“If you want an army who won’t rape the entire city once they breach the walls, you need eight thousand abused young men with their balls cut off, obviously!” mansplains Jorah), to the weird, awful social dynamics of Craster’s Keep (in a particularly brutal analogue of the war going on below the wall, he sends his sons off to die in order to keep himself safe, while the daughters must only serve and quietly mourn).
So yeah I’m writing these every week. Sometimes there are more GIFs and fewer dicks, and sometimes it’s the other way round!
