Man ifttt is dangerous.
My blog now happily imports replies I make to comments at Tumblr.
… There’s no way this could go wrong. None.
Nearly 4pm, still in pyjamas.
We’re supposed to be going away on holidays tomorrow. There are like a million things I need to clean up and do before we go but goddamn I feel like trash.
Being sick sucks.
Link: Research - DISQUS.
Disqus does an infographic on pseudonymous comments.
I’ve seen this get attacked a fair bit around the tracks. The petty digs aside (it’s a huge JPG! /faints), it’s pretty telling that all the narky comments seem to come from people who:
- use their Really Real Names Online
- work in tech or related fields where having a Hip Internet Persona is a Career Plus
- are dudebro cis white men, and best of all
- have comments turned off on their blogs.
… Yuh-huh.
My S3 bill is 1c this month?
Because apparently Reduced Redundancy Storage costs more at low-capacities than “normal” storage. Go figure.
Y U SO EXPENSIVE, AWS?
Link: RAP NEWS 11: Australia Day (feat. Ken Oathcarn) - YouTube.
Aah, 26 January. The day white bogans all over Australia get smashed on jingoism, Indigenous Australians remind people they’re still pissed off, and left-wing Australians of all ethnicities get conflicted between the two (and have to un-friend a lot of people on Facebook).
I have to admit I did lol at the full “Australia Day – yeah c**t!!” (warning: says “cunt” a lot), but it’s worth pointing out it was linked to me by my conflicted husband who was linked to it by a bleached-in-the-wool racist who apparently missed the satire. Go figure.
Hey. At least we don’t have to go to work today.
Sketchbook!
Found objects.
Meanwhile, on the internet...
The patriarchal mind at work – “you” are always male, and women are always “yours” as opposed to being you. Men are always the agents and women are always the faceless voiceless objects.

Steven Moffat still ridiculous chauvinist. Film at 11.
Seriously, though. I don’t know how or why fandom — which really, really should know better — kisses the ground the guy walks on. He’s like the Frank Miller of British TV, except apparently a lot better at hiding himself, as it were. ∞
Let us not forget that this great nation [the USA] was founded by a bunch of men wearing wigs.

Link: In Jerusalem, women are voiceless at a decidedly womanly event - The Globe and Mail.
Let’s face it: The explicit exclusion of women from women’s health is probably the Patriarchy at its purest.
(Also: “Intimacy during rocket attacks”. I shouldn’t lol. I did anyway.) ∞

“Pajamas”. Blegh.
You could always start a One Woman Revolution to bring back the old spelling!
(Also: Testing crossposting of Tumblr replies. Hopefully this should go back to alis.me and then subsequently not back here again… But we’ll see how good I am at setting up ifttt rules.)
