I’ve seen a ton on the facebooks about ‘thanking veterans for their service.’ As a veteran let me just be very straightforward and honest with you. We didn’t “serve our country”; we don’t actually serve our brothers/sisters or our neighbors. We serve the interests of Capital. We never risked our lives or spent months on deployment away from our family and friends so they can have this abstract concept called ‘freedom.’ We served big oil; big coal; Coca-Cola; Kellogg, Brown, and Root and all the other big Capital interests who don’t know a fucking thing about sacrifice. These people will never have to deal with the loss of a loved one or the physical and/or psychological scars that those who ‘serve,’ and their families, have to deal with for the rest of their lives. The most patriotic thing someone can do is to tell truth to power and dedicate yourself to building power to overthrow these sociopathic assholes. I served with some of the most real and genuine people I’ve ever met. You’ll never see solidarity like the kind of solidarity you experience when your life depends on the person next to you. But most of us didn’t join for that; we joined because we were fucking poor and didn’t have many other options. An anti-capitalist veteran (via elitc)

What’s that? No honey, the fact that the okimâwastotin (that headdress worn by clueless hipster girls all the time) is generally reserved for males in Plains cultures is not sexist or patriarchal. You can stop trying to ‘save us from sexism’ thanks.

iTunes/iPod

Can suck my dick. I spent all night doing the relocate my files thing, because all of my music is on my external hard drive, which took hours and then another hour to get rid of those “!” stupid things. Then when I ask it to do the easy thing, the syncing my iPod thing, NO IT WON’T GO. IT REFUSES.

And I spend all night trying to reset it. All night. I packed up some boxes, wrote my to-do list, cleaned my hair dryer, did a windows update. And then I realize that, in trying to hit the “reset” buttons, I had been hitting the wrong button the entire time. Of course, now my corrupted iPod uncorrupted itself magically but also needs to resync every. single. song. Which takes forever.

This is why I hate technology. This is why I don’t have a smart phone. Because it’s DEVILRY DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU FRUSTRATED.

Repeat after me, Mr. Black: I do believe in commas. I do, I do.

Keep saying it until a fairy comes up and gives you a swift kick right between the eyes because honestly I don’t know how you manage to talk so, even on paper. It’s as if your quill just runs after your mouth and your fingers aren’t even involved. I have no idea how it keeps up.

Are you still reading? Sirius? Sirius? I’m not talking about grammar anymore. (I do believe in commas. I do, I do.)

Bridal showers

… Are the worst. Though I do suppose if I were getting married, I would like loads of people to buy me swiffers, china, and stuff like that that I’d need in future.

But, as the Queen of Practicality, I realize that 1) I have very few friends who have money to spend on shit like that for other people and 2) I have very few friends. Which doesn’t bother me, truth be told. I much prefer to spend time in my PJs.

In fact, if I ever have a “bridal shower” type deal it will lack “games” like bridal bingo, how well you know the bride/groom etc. though it may include Scrabble. It will also be held entirely in PJs and with a gratutious amount of red wine. That other people would buy because I don’t have that kind of money.
