I apologize in advance for the lack of a newsletter being sent out Thursday. There wasn’t enough news to warrant a newsletter, plus last week’s jury duty stint sorta deprived me of the stamina needed to write really anything last week. Now that I am done with my short-termed civic duty, it is with great…

Unadulterated Rant Sunday (Disney Edition): Why I think the Little Mermaid is Anti-feminist/Anti-Humanist
WARNING!! Unimpeded ranting ahead! Tread carefully, if you are a Little Mermaid fan! Disclaimer: This is two-parts snark, and one-part rant! We all do it at one time in our lives. I can watch stuff, and still critique it! So, if you love “Little Mermaid” to the point of blind adulation, please overlook this article, look at…
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland 1X09 Discussion
For these discussion posts, I decided that the best option was to completely eliminate the Live Twitter aspect of it. I have trouble tweeting, while watching television shows. I can successfully write grammatically-correct, snarky tweets during award ceremonies, but not television shows. I’m not a natural multitasker; I can only concentrate on one program at a…

Philosophical Sunday: Is a new-group thinking culture rising on the internet?
Caution: This is my uncensored mess of philosophical thoughts! Tread lightly! One of the more insidious results of living in the shadows of socialism is that our culture has inadvertently adopted tons of strange psychological neuroses from Socialistic thought (especially the more radicalized type of totalitarian socialism that is how most socialism, by default, becomes) With the…
Good, Feminist Book Covers
It is only fair that I display awesome examples of book covers that exemplify the strength of a female character, rather than her vain beauty/sexed-up flair(something antithetical to the character at the heart of the story). The best covers are gender-neutral covers for stories that could be read by either gender. Here are my favorite…

I don’t operate like the Huffington Post or Jezebel Please,please disagree with what I write, reject…
