Nerdy little soul. Usually to be found with nose stuck in book, occasionally emerges from lair to fangirl. Warning: opinionated. Aspires to be, as Mhairi McFarlane once put it, "a menace in polka dots."

We adultify little girls to justify men raping them, infantilize men when they perpetrate rape. This isn't a prank, this is men sexually dominating a boy. This language intentionally destigmatizes men's sexual violence to men/boys by framing it as fun, pranks, or hazing.

Feeling gaslit by my language app. It's never shown me the Spanish words for fifty or sixty, but asked me to translate them anyway. I reached back for my high school memories, took my best guess but nope, tells me I'm wrong, won't elaborate on the answer. I resort to Google... I was correct.

In order to prevent myself romancing Lucanis again when I’m trying to do an Emmrich run, I have made a Shadow Dragon Rook. Surely even I can’t make a Shadow Dragon pick Treviso over Minrathous so that should tie my hands… right? #veilguard #manyplaythroughs

HoF would be fine. Rook would careen between one crisis to the next and get through by the skin of her teeth. Hawke would be chaos

Happy birthday to Inquisition!

Ironically, today's question kind of excludes your canon Inquisitor. How would the Inquisition fare if your Hero of Ferelden or Hawke (or somehow, your Rook) became the Inquisitor instead?

Keep posting sky pictures, I like being reminded that we're all piles of carbon screaming through space on a rock and we're all just hanging on and hoping for the best.

Too many people think of abuse as something to feel sorry for a woman about instead of something to be disgusted about an abusive man doing. This is why they approach such reports as whether or not she deserves sympathy as opposed to denouncing abusive behavior.

Every woman on #GirlbandsForever has been done dirty by whatever lighting and filters they’ve used. It’s bizarre what it’s done to their skin texture

YouTube just highlighted an "important" notification to me. It was some random replying to a very old comment just to be bizarrely arsey to me with zero provocation. YouTube and I have verrrrrrrry different definitions of "important."

Just saw a bunch of grown ass adults slut shaming and criticisng a 12 year old girl who was the victim of repeated sexual abuse. “Knew what she was doing,” “instigated,” “town bike”… the human race was a mistake. I hope not a one of those assholes has procreated.

There is not a single reason to outsource your creativity to a computer.

Not one.

To do so removes the very point of being creative in the first place.

Oh look, Kevin Federline’s back out here exploiting Britney. With the same media outlets who pretended to have learned lessons from their past abuse of her giving him the platform to do so! (But hey, why quit victimising the woman you already destroyed when you can still eke $ out of her?)

Having one of those periods again where I struggle with the fact that if I don't go chasing after people, very few of them come chasing after me. But if I decide to energy match... well, that's me on me tod. Doesn't feel like there's a good answer. ("Make new friends!" has not historically helped)

And of course, your reminder that the Conservatives in government enthusiastically approved every single one of the Sentencing Guidelines that they now claim are evidence of the far-right “two tier justice” myth.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

So many story lines have used Women In Refrigerators trope to move plot forward. It's one thing if it was once in awhile but frigging is so commonplace a lot of us assume it will happen especially in action films.

Having now completed The Jury... despite the difference in details, in both seasons I've felt like verdicts have been reached on account of certain large personalities in the room dominating proceedings and having to be either totally or partially conceded to. A worrying pattern.
