You won't win, it's not a game
Last night Stephanie and I went to Cary’s to enjoy a homemade stuffed vegan pizza, we all went to a show at Manifesta Loft, and then Stephanie drunkenly convinced me to go to Foodswings at 1 am. So I just now managed to drag myself out of bed, and when I went into the kitchen to make something like ‘breakfast’, I looked around, realized how hungry I’m really not, and did a...

Goals for 2012 pt 2
singingoverbones said:
i find it really depressing that the only one of these shows i went to was the one we played.
Well with a little luck, some work, and a lot of ‘persuading’ (read: begging), at this time next year you’ll be tumblin’ about how you played/had to sit through so many shows in 2012 that you never want to see another poorly-lit basement or smoky DIY space...

Goals for 2012 pt 1
meltyrbrain said:
D) That sounds like an awesome thing to me.
You know what, you’re right, it is awesome. Sometimes I feel exhausted by this city and everything going on here. Other times I feel self-conscious, like a big nerd who goes to these things because she doesn’t have anything else going on. So I forget how lucky I am that I can go to all of this stuff.

Two down, one to go.
The week between Christmas and New Year’s is always weird. It’s like this weird void time where you can’t seem to get anything accomplished, like you’re trapped in inter-holiday limbo or something. You’re always struggling to get stuff done around an unfortunate schedule of working and having to visit people…or the people you want to see are doing that, and it...

Bummer: your car stalling on the road on Christmas Eve while you’re on your way to your friends’ holiday festivities that you invited yourself to three days ago
Awesome: your friends coming to pick you up, and helping you push your car to the side of the road so you can enjoy at least a few hours of holiday merriment before you call AAA
The Best: your friends not only waiting with...

The Lorde giveth and the Lorde taketh away.
eeriefeelings said:
hahahahahah i keep seeing these long threads of typical white n uptight islamophobic “feminists” arguing with people i follow about issues of privilege, which sometimes involves taking tha Lorde’s name in vain (that is fun to do)
Ugh, it’s too fun — but that’s such a good one! I look forward to a lot of similar puns in the new year. Because I’m a geek...

A text message exchange between my best friend and...
me: Do you have feelings on Regina Spektor
bff: Lol. She isn't bad, why?
me: I was in cvs and a song by her that I heard the night of [my stepfather's] funeral came on, that's all. Merry Christmas to me!
bff: Guh. That's fucking so sad.
me: ...lol, yes, yes it is. But being able to text you about it makes it a little less so. Also, at least it's an ok song. And not Mariah Carey.
bff: Hahaha yeah Regina is far superior to Mariah. I'm glad I can be the one you text about it. I miss [your stepfather] too. I think about him everytime I want to say 'fuck you you cocksucker' when I'm driving

Sorry for the dearth of stuff lately
punkrockquotes:
However, I will now have more time to update this! And I might have a new plan for this blog in the new year, who knows?
Now that I’m an ‘administrator’ I can’t leave a regular comment! But if I could have, I would have said “YAY!” Can’t wait to hear the potential new plan!

Purple Rhinestone Eagle remembered, part 2
hardstep reblogged this and added:
this band blew my mind when I saw them live.
When I saw this band live…well, okay, I saw this band live three times in two days, they played two nights in a row and a lunch time set at rock camp on the second day. Which was already kind of intense. But in addition to that, they 1) blew my mind 2) melted my face off (almost literally, like I got all...

got mistaken for one of their members twice haha. i guess we look alike… if you’re drunk.
…which is somewhat complimentary (I guess?), but could also be construed as egregiously fucked up. Sigh.
I got into them when a friend asked me to write a blurb about them for an index of female-fronted bands...

I say go with the former. The second title negates the value of your taste and opinions, where the first one affirms it.

girlvirus & transphobia: since you've been asking →
sexistappeal:
Those rumours you’ve been hearing about girlvirus being transphobic? Those rumours are true. The reasons you’re having trouble finding evidence is because a) it sucks to have to repeat our negative experiences over & over again, especially when folks seem not to really care, not to wanna support us, anyway, b) a lot of discussions that have taken place over the internet have...

When the moon is void of course
via Lunar Living (…i.e., some random website):
A Void-of-Course transit of the moon is a period of time between the last aspect of the Moon while transiting in one sign and the point that the Moon enters the next sign (ingress). It takes approximately 27.5 days for the moon to loop all the way around the Earth. Many interactions (aspects) are made between the Moon and the various planets as...

Moon Phases Calendar →
Today I was trying to figure out what I would like to do on New Year’s Day, and I thought to myself, “Hmm, I wonder what phase the moon will be in then.” It’s official, this is like, part of my life now. I don’t know if that’s horribly nerdy or cool and witchy. I’m leaning toward the latter though.

Good to know.
Via the almighty wikipedia:
Hecate or Hekate (ancient Greek Ἑκάτη, Hekátē, pronounced /ˈhɛkətiː/, in Shakespeare /ˈhɛkət/) is a chthonic Greco-Roman goddess associated with magic, witchcraft, necromancy, and crossroads. She is attested in poetry as early as Hesiod’s Theogony. An inscription from late archaic Miletus naming her as a protector of entrances is also testimony to her presence...

One of my very favorite feminist music bloggers, one of my favorite feminist pop culture websites, and a movie whose trailer made me weep quietly for my departed stepfather. PERFECT.
No, really though. I remember seeing the commercials and the whole ‘father who teaches girlchild how to survive’ thing, and getting all ferklemt and “that’s so beautiful!” over it. ...

1. The fine folks at fuckyeahfemalefronted recently reblogged my audio post of “Call Me Bitch, Meet My Fist” by Carnal Knowledge from back in September. So it’s been getting a ton of reblogs recently, and every single time it puts me in a really good mood. That band was amazing and pretty much anyone who cares about punk or feminism or both should know about their demo. IT IS...
