There, fixed that for you

(eventually, I hope to make this a regular series)

I was reminded of this by Bun. She has a button that reads "Sorry I missed church. I was too busy practicing witchcraft and becoming a lesbian." I had to explain the origin of the quote to her.

So,
Dear Pat Robertson:

Feminism is a socialist economically balanced, anti-rigidly defined-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands abusive situations, kill their children enjoy reproductive freedom, practice witchcraft Earth Centered religion, destroy capitalism make sure everyone has a piece of the pie--including those not yet able to work, or past working--and become lesbians enjoy female-centered sexuality, should that be their orientation.

There. Fixed that for you.

Books

16) Lost and Found 1: Pet Rescue by Syd McGinley. Dr. Fell is back in a longish short story in which he rescues a sub from an abusive dom. Sketchy and stream-of-consciousness in places, and written in first person present-tense, this story still managed to grip me clear through.

15) My Wicked, Wicked Ways by Errol Flynn. I wish I could say this was an enjoyable read. Flynn is clever and witty, extremely readable as a writer. But he is not a good man and his autobiography leaves no doubt of it. Plantation overseer, slaver, sailor, vagabond, absolute rakehell who stood trial for murder at the age of twenty, and twice in later years for statutory rape. The period endemic racism (which does not extend to his taste in women), the misogyny and the general ADHD tone of the narrative made it unpleasant while still captivating. My take-away thought: Any day my job does not involve castrating sheep with my teeth is a good day.

14) Toybox: Sounds, ed. M. Rode. Another three story smut collection, this time combining my carnival story with Kiernan Kelly's self-help guru and Mychael Black's vampires. Sexy and very different.
