Dream fairy can bite me. Don't send me to conventions, have me skip getting a membership and then try bidding on a totally gorgeous bit of steampunkery in the silent auction. At least have me get a freakin BADGE!

Gas keeps going up. Instead of a commute, how about working from home?

Catherine Mackinnon asks Are Women Human Yet?
"If women were human, would we be a cash crop shipped from Thailand in containers into New York's brothels? Would we be sexual and reproductive slaves? . . . Would we be beaten nearly to death, and to death, by men with whom we are close? Would we be sexually molested in our families? . . . If women were human, would our violation be enjoyed by our violators? And, if we were human, when these things happened, would virtually nothing be done about it? . . . When will women be human? When?"

A pictoral spread, PROVING the prevalence of incubi and succubi within entertainment. How they missed Joan Collins and Johnny Depp is a mystery to me.
