Day: May 19, 2018

Some real food, even if it took until around 10:30! With vegetables and all! (A lot of them lurking at the bottom of the bowl here.)

I had some squash and half a red sweet pepper left in the fridge, and I’m the only one here who likes either one. Good opportunity to get that used up, with Mr. C gone late for another fencing event today.

Considered just making some basic fried squash with the pepper thrown in to go with some leftover macaroni and cheese. But, I decided it wasn’t that much extra work to throw together some quick noodles with some precooked chicken from the freezer.

So, I ended up with basically squashtastic yakisoba, with a gochujang sauce because I was in the mood for some heat. (Working off this sauce.)

Not a bad quick meal!

After taking an unused carpet to the dump, a member of the public spotted a nest of 6 baby rats hidden inside it and rushed them in to us for help.

They were quite dirty and seemed not to have been cared for for a number of days. After a clean, a health check and a feed, they were taken away with our trained rodent carers for round-the-clock care.

it rly is weird how theres this culture in progressive spaces where like you can be as mean, as CRUEL even, as you want as long as youre not being explicitly bigoted towards any marginalized group of people and still be seen as a really good person with good morals who nobody is allowed to have beef with bc theyve never done anything racist or homophobic

a butch i’m friends with has told me what it was like for her in her youth and its so fucked! she went to college in the mid 70s, keep in mind too that it was a PUBLIC state college not even a religious one, and it was literally against the rules for women to not wear dresses. workplaces were universally the same (unless of course you passed). last time i was with her and another old butch they talked about how it was normal in lesbian culture to have half your friends immediately go to the bathroom and change when they went out to bars after work or school, like unquestioned thats just what all the butches and dykes did. you’d see em for a sec in day-drag and they’d come back out as themselves, unquestioned. anyways, in the 1990s my friend was working as a lawyer in the southwest and she literally could not enter the courtroom in pants or else the judge would tell her to leave and it would hurt her case too. like, i was alive then? it was not a long time ago? its fucking nuts that people think that women being able to dress practically is just like women getting away with shit when they fought tooth and nail and organized to be able to do it. and yknow what, today in 2018, women can wear jeans without question, but they sure as fuck can’t look like too ~manly~ and be left alone, i can attest to that, so uh, yeah, women keep breaking the rules for years and getting beat up and excluded and marginalized and humiliated and shamed until its normalized and then the second it is everyone with the memory of a goldfish is like “wow women can wear pants, privilege!”

Hey friends!

We’ve been kicking around (hah) the idea of kickstarting enamel pins, specifically of our Pride Raised Fist & Pride Animals. It’s the most requested item that we don’t currently carry, but it definitely requires a Kickstarter to put that together.

But! Before I start putting together the Kickstarter, I’d like to get an idea from y’all: would an enamel pin of the raised Pride fist (with stretch goals to add flags) be something you’d be interested in? If you really super wanted a Pride Animal, which one would it be?

For reference, the Pride fist is this graphic:
