Things that I think are bullshit:

1. Female Republicans. #nonsense #ignorance #brainwashing

2. The SyFy channel. #bitter #farscape #sga

3. The knowledge that I live in a society where women are taught not to get raped rather than a society that teaches men not to rape. #blamethevictim

4. The idea that a fetus is more important than a woman's life and liberty. #personhood

5. The idea that sex offenders are redeemable. #stupid 

6. People who ask me to pray for them. #atheist #andtheyknowit

7. Women on youtube who can paint a perfect french manicure freehand. #bitches

8. The Boy Scouts of America. #homophobia

9. People who think the rules don't apply to them. #sister

10. The fact that I broke my foot last May and the motherfucker still hurts!!! The doctor says it may take 24 months to heal. #fuckthat 

11. People who forsake rational thought and valid scientific information for their religion. #globalwarming #youngearth #teabagger

12. Any man who believes he's entitled to have an opinion on the reproductive rights of women. #NoVaginaNoOpinion

My sister called me this morning and sort of woke me up. I was mostly awake because of my fucking foot hurting. She's an arrogant twat but that's genetic so I don't hold it against her. Like me, she's been out of fuck's to give for about ten years *maybe longer*. So I just let her bitch for like twenty minutes while she was driving to work and she made me laugh some and I made her laugh which is good, right? Then I got to bitch for about twenty minutes, because fair is fair. And mostly I bitched about my foot and how my pain medication wore off a few hours ago. Though spending half the night stoned off my ass being bitchy was entertaining in its own right.

Remember how I said that it was perfectly okay to make people mad at you or to point out when someone is being asshole? Right, well, don't be surprised if the person on the other end of things doesn't care what you think. There are a surprising number of people who are completely out of fucks.

not to mention that there are states that allow a rapist to sue for custodody/visitation should the survivor of his crime choose to carry the fetus to term. "source for more info on which states" (http://meddinlaw.com/2012/08/31-states-still-allow-custody-and-visitation-rights-for-rapists/)

and the thing about the Catholic hospital just shows just how hypocritical they are.

As always, I looked for the "like" button here, before realizing that not everything is as easy as Facebook. So, I shall have to say, "Right on!" Especially about stupid Syfy with their stupid no SGA and their stupid wrestling. Wrestling, really???

Have you been inside my head? And it's a pleasure to find someone else as bitter about losing Farscape and SGA as I am.

I've been railing about the Rethuglicans for months now, but these GOP women (and I loosely call them that) who are misogynists in their own right infuriate me.

I've been bitter about Farscape and SGA for a long time as well as other shows they killed for nothing!

The Replugs suck for everything! They should all be moved to some arctic piece of real-estate where they can prey on each other and leave the rest of us the hell alone!

hear, hear!! bloody well said everyone!! *fuck* syfy -- and I loathe the way they spell their name even as I ruefully admit it's quite appropriate -- after all there's next to no science fiction there any more (wrestling. yeah. wot is this I don't even...)

Farscape totally rocked, and I am *so* pissed off about SGA even now, after all this time. !pinches pendejos pestosos cabrones! *grumbles, stoopid no-spanish-letters interface, grumble*

I almost offered to kiss your foot better, then reread the whole thing and thought about offering just to kiss your feet, then decided that was creepily stalkerish.

So...sorry your foot is being a little bitch and OORAH to all that other stuff. Never stop Being Keira!

Sci Fi went downhill the moment it became SyFy. WORST CHOICE EVER.

i think they changed to SyFy because the didn't want to put any actual SciFi on the telly. but keep all their followers and "broaden their fan base". which means that you have to put reality TV shows on...like every other channel. which negates why SyFy exists at all.

so now we need a NEW channel that will put SciFi on the telly!!

i know....lets call it SciFi...because they put SciFi on it.

yeah. i am pretty bitter too. *sigh*

BTW churches are all over just shitting me lately. nothing to do with faith...all about the money and power. which totally screws the lives of all those good priests (etc.) out there. and they are out there. i have met some! they just don't have much money. or power.

The world is fucking crazy and just when you think your low expectations can't be beat someone manages. Sadly as on blackberry but one case may interest you.

A woman shot her raper 10 times and then threw his severed head into the village when they refused to let her abort. Her only response was that he'd toyed with her honour.

Gay Republicans. WTF? I know one. Again, WTF???

And I'd just like to add one. Specialty food companies, like say a company that makes gluten free bread, who reformulate *adding* common allergens to their product, and then can't be bothered to update their fucking ingredients on their own fucking website. Because I'm pretty sure my gut can't tell the difference between ground glass and corn. Maybe ground glass would be more fun.

Yeah, why are we still letting old white males decide how women should run their uterus again? Because I'd like equal opportunity to tell them where to put their dicks.

This is a good post. I feel number two is most important. And hopefully your foot feels better, how will you kick ass without it.

Planning project manager who rolls the app without telling the developer or the project manager proper or me, the trainer and floor support. But mostly the developer so he can update all 170 user profiles and remove the testing constraints .

2: SyFy also cancelled Alphas, which made me sad. And seriously, WTF is with the name SyFy as opposed to SciFi? Are they just trying to appease the not-so-smart masses who don't understand that SciFi is short for Science Fiction? Ugh.

6: I never ask people to pray for me, or offer to pray for others. I'll wish someone luck and ask for the return, or offer to keep them in my thoughts, but that's about it. I hate when people can't respect boundaries, and religion is a pretty damn big boundary.

10: I broke my toe, hmmm, four years ago, I think? It still hurts off and on. When it's cold out, or if I stub it, it hurts like a son of a bitch. Not as large as a whole foot, obviously, but yeah. I wish I could say it gets better. =/

Not that it makes the rest of your list any better or excuses the rampant idiocy of the Boy Scouts of America upper echelon any more palatable, but at least I can promise you that the neanderthal attitudes prevalent is NOT indicative of Scouting as a whole.

The organization I belong to, Scouts Canada not only does not discriminate on the basis of gender, culture, religious belief or sexual orientation, we've also been fully co-ed since 1998. We have girls, atheists, gays... you name it.

Maybe one of these centuries the BSA will clue in and realize that you can have a wonderful program which fully embraces all the wonderful aspects of Scouting without all the outdated crap.

I like the fact that the Girl Scouts refuse to discriminate even when the BSA gets all pissy because of it. heh heh heh...

forsaking rational thought -- omfg *exactly*. the numbers are getting pretty fucking scary now, as are the field data -- and these motherfuckers think they can just ignore it because their rich bossman says he wants it that way.

good luck with that, rich guy with houses on the beach. I'm on a fucking mountain, ain't gonna bug me when yer house floats out with the tide...

Keira, I hope your foot heals faster than they say. is wrong time of year for having borked bones; no fun. in other news -- great list!! cracked me up totally!
