01:03:10: Aaaand I'm tweeting from the frontlines again. *sigh* Having lots & lots of fun with insulin this fine evening.
02:31:42: Seemsto have calmed momentarily. That won't last, of course, but I'm grateful nonetheless.
17:49:37: The ASU farmers' market can serve as a very nice metaphor for many things I don't like about Jonesboro as a town.
17:56:20: Reading some stuff @kotaku. Do guys not realize that saying they "couldn't shoot at a female character" is still ragingly sexist?
18:06:01: Dear men: politeness in general is awesome. Chivalry *because* we are women devalues & minimizes our strength as people.
18:12:01: @Scrobble the commenters in particular just kill me. Among gamers, you & Bryan are my 2 huge exceptions to a big, nasty rule.
18:14:22: @jochan1977 nail on the head. The ASU market is a bunch of peddlers trying to look like a farmers market.
18:18:49: @Fungible that's quite true, & I rather disdain that point of view. It's counterproductive!
18:19:43: @mikesacco so very right. Those are the same ppl who boggle when they ask for lifting help at the hospital & I show up.
18:52:51: @jochan1977 @Darediva Memphis has one like that. I'm more impressed with the Memphis Farmers' Market than almost any I've seen.
18:53:22: @mrmmosh heh. In my family, fistfights were fair game. There was no "don't hit girls"; it was just "don't hit people".
18:56:12: @mrmmosh but why do you do that? Because you were raised that way, but why did it begin?
18:56:46: @mrmmosh because women are weaker, and need to be protected and coddled and allowed to walk in first to get out of the big scary world.
19:02:14: @mrmmosh but the other is still sexist. I'm sorry, dude, but you're part of the problem.
19:02:59: .@mrmmosh And the "not thinking about it" is also a problem. When men don't think about it, the sexist status quo remains the same.
19:04:28: @mrmmosh WELL AT LEAST THERE'S THAT! :D
19:12:25: This night sucks hardcore. Is it so much to ask to see my kid before I go to work?!
19:20:10: @RobertFloyd when given to everyone, no. When given to women because they are women & not because they're human, absolutely.
19:23:23: I love it when my day gets ruined before it starts. Now I have to fake happy all damn night.
19:28:19: .@wintersweet fortunately I'm amazing at it.
19:41:08: @Daves_Cornbread I'm a nurse, so I have to. Not fair to my patients to put my issues on them.
19:41:48: @hostagenurse stomps your foot.
21:58:08: Link me photos of daffodils, y'all. Stat.
