I'm holding up the picture of the pigs at the 68 riots, behind the cop on the left. Mike is next to me, screaming of course. We went to this protest against the pigs' reunion; the article says the protest lasted an hour but actually we marched for several hours afterwards in the streets, blocking traffic and pissing off the police. It was really intense... there were a bunch of cop cars trying to block us off, they were trying to shove us on the sidewalk, but we wouldn't. We became very much an angry mob.

Here's a biased article/video with more information. Essentially, the cops who were busting the skulls of young protestors at the 1968 DNC in Chicago were holding a reunion. These were the same racist cops who beat Puerto Rican protestors two years earlier, and the cops who were likely to have murdered Fred Hampton and Mark Clark of the Black Panthers. I personally think that's disgusting, and that they have no right to revel in the violations of civil rights that they caused. There were people of all ages and backgrounds there, including veterans from the '68 protests. It was really awesome and we TOTALLY WON against the police. They tried to shut down our march and we didn't let them. We got all the way down town to Union Station. What were they going to do, beat people protesting against police brutality for walking in the street?

vote for daphaknee, especially if you don't care either way.

I want to know if I'm weird and/or the only person who does this; I usually wear an outfit during the day to work/school, then come home and change into something else. I tend to repeat this second outfit the next day for work/school, and then come home and change again. Repeat into infinity.

Also I stole this totally awesome quiz from uncreative:

Fuck the new Spock, I want some dericious Leonard Nemoy.

My blog has really taken off.

Google search:
feminist musicians - 4th result
radical feminist advice - 1st result
everything you need to know about the menstrual cycle - 2nd result
evolutionary psychology is bullshit - 4th result

Lots of hits from search phrases involving the words "plan b" and "menstrual cycle." When you add the word "feminist" to the search phrase, I get lots of hits for "Regina Spektor," "Patti Smith," "Liz Phair," "nice guy," "dating advice," etc.

I'm sure this is boring for everyone else but it makes me incredibly happy to know that I have ascended the ranks of feminists on the internet, as well as created a lot of valuable resources. It's also good to know that my blog pops up on a number of searches that have nothing to do with feminism at all.

Where the fuck would I be today if it weren't for blogging

The only times I ever go to Detroit are Christmas and DEMF.

Going to get a new phone momentarily since I dropped mine in a puddle. So it will be possible to reach me this weekend.

(This is my final for my TV Writing class; we had to write an entire script for an existing series that's currently in production. If you know a way for me to get this to Matt Parker and Trey Stone, by all means! This is not in industry format due to lj formatting complications in combination with the fact that I'm sort of a beginner at this... copyright pending)

SYNOPSIS:
Towelie has cleaned up his act and found a new lease on life after the Cartmans take him under their wing. Meanwhile in California, the ever-worsening economy presents Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger with an opportunity to legalize weed and seize an entire market demographic of stoners. Towelie's simple life becomes much more complicated when Schwarzenegger recruits him as Administrator of Drug Tourism, and little do they know that Ronald Reagan intends to continue to fight the war on drugs, even in death.

Holy shit I can't believe how much time I've wasted on the internet over the past day. Homework gives you a purpose for being on a computer, facebook makes you forget that purpose. However, I did make some headway, and my feminist underground music mix/the accompanying essay is now online!

Also, what if I got the Sutton official family crest tattooed on my breast bone:



The Latin text down there apparently reads "Through Difficulties Serve God in Faith;" I'd probably switch that for the Latin phrase "Through Difficulties Kill Babies with Wire Hangers" or something like that.

Today me and Mike celebrated our 1 year. We weren't sure of the date we became official but decided May Day was appropriate. It wasn't entirely special, we went to this yuppie-ass expensive sandwich place; it was delicious but we were totally shafted on service, probably because it was pretty obvious that we were the poorest people in there.

Other than that we went to this party hosted by the International Socialist Organization (ISO), whom he's been hanging around lately. It was cool, it took place this old elementary school in Pilsen that's been turned into a Marxist mecca. The speakers were really awesome and friendly, one of them is a publisher, if I meet her again I will probably talk to her about publishing some of my essays. I don't know if I'm much of a socialist, I'm pretty convinced anarchy is the only solution, but I guess it's a bit idealistic, so we'll see. Either way I'm probably going to end up getting involved with their party. Anything to get rid of this stupid government.
