\"tardis-dress\"<\/a>
\nI think that’s the best Tardis dress I’ve ever seen. (I don’t know the name of the cosplayer, but her Facebook page is here<\/a>.) (UPDATE: Her name is Sasha Trabane, and thanks to Daran for finding that.)<\/p>\n

  2. Trading the Megaphone for the Gavel in Title IX Enforcement<\/a> (Thanks, G&W!)<\/li>\n
  3. Also the thought that men being hurt is okay or deserved so long as they\u2019re being hurt at the hands of other men is pretty awful. Like, firstly, women police masculinity and enforce gender roles. But even if that weren\u2019t<\/i>\u00a0true, are we really saying that we don\u2019t care about people who are suffering because they happen to be the same gender<\/i>\u00a0as the people who set up the system that causes the suffering?<\/a><\/li>\n

    Amp’s comment: I’m not saying there aren’t Democrats who are also fools. I am saying that no Democrat who was this blatantly anti-science would be a highly plausible contender for winning the primary and being the party’s candidate for President. See also Climate Change, of course.<\/p>\n

  10. The Revolution Will Not Be Plus-Sized | Tastefully Ratchet<\/a> Amp’s comment:<\/em> Although I thought about it for days, I don’t think I agree with this. The availability of clothing that fits well and is affordable is a basic necessity in our society, not the frivolous concern as this blog post paints it. And <\/em>because the ability to look in a mirror and think there’s any positive value at all in what you see is one that has been systematically denied to fat people. The left should be advocating for both <\/em>better clothing for fat people and better treatment of clothing workers; being in favor of the latter doesn’t require not advocating for the former.<\/li>\n

  15. “The acceptance of reason as an idol, on whose altar you sacrifice the earth, while you called it a slip loop, which I dropped over her face.” A Twitter account<\/a> which mashes up John Norman’s Gor <\/em>novels and Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged<\/em>. (Via<\/a>).<\/li>\n
