god frigging dammit, criminal minds!
Nov. 5th, 2009 10:39 pmI really really really freakimg HATE the direction you all are writing Morgan's character arc into. He's more sensible than that, dammit!!!!
EDIT: Also? The cases are so gruesome that I am skipping the parts with the villain and focusing on the team interactions. And i know you all need dramatic tension and the agents to save the day, but can we have some more fighting back and winning please?Cause it sure is disheartening to see women being killed in so many gruesome ways, or being humiliated and beaten down and having to be rescued. Christ!

SURVEY FAIL! In which male just graduated Phd "scientists" decide to study slash fandom and write a book about how all these straight women are writing about gay men and its due to how their brains are wired due to evolution blah blah blah. *insert sciency goobledegook, homophobia, trans phobia, misogyny, ignorance, IP logging, unethical behavior, ignorance of their own discipline's research protocols, condescension, no idea how to screen for minors,no idea that they HAD TO screen for minors, no idea that working with humans means that they are actually doing social science, and that they need to follow a set of rules that apparently anyone who has had the least exposure to psych would know about (remember these are PHDs), no idea how to do statistics, (who the fuck changes the questions halfway through???)... and total pigheaded refusal to listen when all of these and more problems are pointed out.* You really have to see the links to believe it the heights of FUCKERY that these people get up to. The level of privilege that it takes for these twerps to swoop down and decide to write a book dripping with warped, fuckedup, ignorant theories on fandom and profit from it, and their dismissal of most every complaint that us subjects of their POS "research" have preferred, is RAGE-inducing. Which is bad for our researchers, for fandom is now hellbent on making their lives VERY uncomfortable indeed *cackles evilly* EDIT:
linkspam has LINKS. Much snark is available.
bossymarmalade issues a call for macros, which apparently duly answered. The beleaguered researchers have now locked their post. *more cackling* and now she calls for ratcheting up the pressure.
And then there is GATE FAIL! courtesy of the fuckers in charge of writing and producing STARGATE. They, well. Damn. They just...well FAILED SO FUCKING BAD OMG WTFBBQ!!!!!!!! i can't even, I mean the fail started huge and just blew up into breathtaking callousness and cluelessness and cisgender white able-bodied ppl vomiting up their rotten stinking privilege and ignorance over everything within the radius of that fucking POS Syphilis channel OMG WHY????????? And of course, there were the cisgender white ablebodied fans to back them up. Oh/ my. LORD *headdesk forever*
Look, between the political fuckery and the fandom/entertainment fuckery, I wanna just hide from the world, okay?

Kimah Nelson and Jason Stenson
After it went public, they revoked the license and registered them as domestic partners. There was much annoyance in the blogosphere because everyone from the Advocate to Pam's House Blend called them a gay couple at first, following the shitty reporting of the New York Post.
New Hampshire got marriage, my very belated congrats.
What Are The Yogyakarta Principles?
Lafeyette from True Blood survived last season and there be hot hot hot spoilers to boot Thank heavnes cause he's the only goddamn reason that I will watch the show.
Apparently there is a good portrayal of a gay Middle Easterner on Nurse Jackie

What Are The Yogyakarta Principles?
If you peruse international blogs that cover gender identity and sexual orientation issues, from time to time you'll see a reference to the Yogyakarta Principles.
What are they, you ask? Well, peeps, school is now in session.
In response to well-documented patterns of abuse of GLBT people, from November 6-9, 2006 a distinguished group of international human rights experts met on the campus of Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta, Indonesia to outline a set of international principles relating to sexual orientation and gender identity.
The result of that meeting was the Yogyakarta Principles: a universal guide to human rights which affirm binding international legal standards with which all nations must comply.
The basic premise is that TBLGI people are all human beings and are equally entitled to human rights. The development of international human rights law has largely ignored them - as racial minorities were once ignored - as women were once ignored - as the disabled were once ignored.
So the people gathered in Yogyakarta logically applied established international human rights principles and made suggestions as to how these 29 principles apply to the situation of LGBTI people around the world.The Principles

Dec. 7th, 2008 11:56 pmre: Criminal Minds. Apply to similar situations as necessary.
LOOK. If you KNOW that your boyfriend/fiancee is a policewoman/man, firefighter, axemurderer, WHATEVER, Don't go into the marriage and then pressure them to leave their fucking jobs when you get there. Talking shit about normal lives. Child? Fuck that. YOU KNEW WHO HE WAS BEFORE YOU MARRIED HIM. You couldn't deal with long nights and him/her being away for loads f time? THEN YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE MARRIED HIM. PERIOD. You going to tell the man that his being suspended from a job he loves is a blessing in disguise! WHUT? How goddamn selfish can you get? You don't KNOW your fucking husband, do you? Jackass.

Jul. 10th, 2008 03:01 pmThank GOD , cause I was getting so tired of the waltz and salsa and stuff! ANd African Jazz? Set to Marilyn Manson music? WHUT? Only problem was that the judges didn't spend time getting up to speed with how to judge it on its technical merits, Nigel patted himself on the back for having thought of this at all, and he and the rest then commented on how similar to Western dances like hiphop and ballroom dancing it was! I was so annoyed!
