This Vote Is Legally Binding

In response to all those articles about talking to women with headphones…

Someone always says it, whenever it comes up: “I guess I’m just not allowed to talk to anyone any more!” Well. Yes. It is my duty to inform you that we took a vote all us women and determined that you are not allowed to talk to anyone ever again. This vote is legally binding. Yes, of course, all women know each other, the way you always suspected. (Incidentally, so do Canadians. I’m just throwing that out there.) We went into the women’s room at the Applebee’s at the corner of 54 and all the others streamed in through the doors into that endless liminal space, a chain of humans stretching backward heavy skulled Neanderthal women laughing with New York socialites, Lucille Ball hand in hand with the Taung child. We sat around in the couches in the women’s room (I know you’ve always been suspicious of those couches) and chatted with each other in the secret female language that you always knew existed. Somebody set up a console– the Empress Wu is ruthless at Mario Kart and Cleopatra never learned to lose and a woman who ruled an empire that fell when the Sea People came and left no trace can use the blue shell like a surgical instrument. Eventually we took the vote. You had three defenders: your grandmother and your first-grade teacher and an Albanian nun who believes the best of everybody. Your mom abstained. It was duly recorded in the secret notebooks that have been kept under the couch in the Applebee’s since the beginning of recorded time. And then we went back to playing Mario Kart and Hoelun took off her bra and we didn’t think about you again except that I had to carry this message. So anyway good luck with that it’s just as you always said it was. Hush now, no talking

hush.

So for the past 12 days in honor of valentines day I’ve been making daily comics based off true stories about making my ex cry during my toxic first relationship (”times my ex made me cry” would be…a much darker comic.) Plz enjoy, it was very cathartic for me to make!

tbh literally my ex from college.  The guy bawled when my roommate asked him why he put the fan on in the bathroom when he went to piss.... it was ‘so we didn’t have to be subjected to hearing him’.... AS IF WE GROWN ASS WOMEN, FROM THE LAKES AREA, HAVE NOT HEARD A GROWN ASS MAN PISS BEFORE!  #fuckingflower #pdotswewomenhearyoumenpeeallthefuckingtime #younoisyasfuck

I’m having an issue.  And it’s a political one for the most part.  My mother, who is typically rather liberal, (she’s a product of the 60s/70s/80s where most of her formative years were spent).  And I would expect her to be rather.... open.  Unfortunately, that isn’t the case.  

Instead, when I call her out on a bit of racism/sexism, or on issues that we in the LGBTQ+ community,... all I get is “Okay. Let’s stop.”  or “Okay, no” and then NOTHING.  

How do you talk to someone who’s nearly 60, aka my mother, about how their view points could be harmful?  

Should I just give up?  She’s old.  And obviously stuck in her ways.  I haven’t brought up the fact that she’s ‘stuck in her ways’  (btw THAT IS HOW SHE REFERRED TO HER OWN PARENTS IN THE 90s AND 00s).  Should I just hit her with that and let her live with the shock?  Or what?  

I’m not usually the type to talk about politics, but I’m worried she might be willing to vote Trump into a second term even though she’s living in poverty and has no health insurance despite her husband recently having a heart attack and NOW THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR IT IN IT’S ENTIRETY.

Hey, guys? When you’re roasting vegetables in the oven that you put olive oil on, do not use a flat baking sheet. Use one with sides. Or else have some baking soda on hand to douse the actual grease fire that you will get.

No one said this blog host knows everything.

Or~!  Use that flat baking sheet, just line it with tinfoil to make your high edges.  Tinfoil can be recycled, AND it makes clean up a hell of a lot easier~!

I did a thing and ended up making a Mary Christiansen from DDADDS cosplay.  Whoops~!  If you’re coming to Anime Iowa this year, I’ll be causing drama at the panel (hungover as is per proper characterization) on Sunday morning~!

[luraia]

My husband took a few photos during ECCC too~!  Seeing the little kids get all excited when they saw the dress was the best part.  It was immeasurably difficult to get up off the floor though XDDD

Cosplays I will be bringing to Emerald City Comic Con 2018~!  We are five days out until the convention officially starts, and I’m insanely excited to bring back both Joffrey Baratheon (first of his name, king of the Andals and the first men) and my favorite cosplay of all Cinderella!  

I will actually have my Jon Snow from that photo along with me too.  Sadly, the Belle in the second photo is stuck in the wintery land of Minnesota.  

If you see me in either of these costumes, feel free to say ‘hi!’.  I’ll be wearing Joffrey to the GoT gathering on Friday.  And I’ll be in Cinderella for the Disney gathering on Sunday.

THE SIGNS AS WRITERS

Writes non-stop but doesn't share it with anyone: Leo, Aquarius, Cancer

Writes like 3 chapters then gives up: Scorpio, Virgo

Writes like 10 books in 3 days: Pisces, Sagittarius, Gemini

In a constant state of writer's block: Aries, Taurus

Always have a good plot in their head but too lazy to write it: Libra, Capricorn

This just means us Aries need to get with those Libras and Capricorns, and then with those Pisces, Sagittarius, Gemini in order to get that shit done! #delegatethatshit

Yeah telling people good things that have happened immediately while they’re watching shows that can BE PAUSED FOR ETERNITY... is apparently unapologetic.

Any help is greatly appreciated~!
