she was cuffed to the truth

FUCKING COMPUTER IS FUCKING TOAST. ERRORS WITH MY GNOME POWER MANAGER. TRIED FRESH INSTALL. GOT NEWERRIRABOUT NO LIVE FILE SYSTEM OR SOMETHING?

research implies it may not be total system fail, just a fuckload of fail, combined with my backup sd of my OS being fouled. which, it worked fineacouple installs ago.

but i can't make a new install card on hq's fucking computer. it wasn't enough that my machine was having physical failure at all possible points, now I have system fail too. I can not fix this with duct tape. I cannot, apparently, fix this with anything I have immediately at hand, until I have access to a machinethat can make a bootableflash. the baby thinks we're playing clue. I'mmaget drunk. fuckfuckfuckfuck

Gender Non-Conformity is a Drag » Sociological Images


You want to fucking start your gender policing with a three year old? or rather, criticising parents for not gender policing their kid? she wants to be john, from peter pan. she is three. eat shit. It is to the child's wishes, and it would be better to you that the jolie-pitts force the child into a restricted gender role?

TO HELL WITH GENDERING CHILDREN AT ALL. I mean, really, let a kid be whoever the fuck they are, or you are a giant asshole.

If you've wondered why I haven't said much about this, I keep winding up with like 20 tabs opened, unable to say anything besides 'WTF? FUCKING FUCK THIS FUCKING NOISE'

and then i have to go do something that doesn't make me scream cusswords.

I installed some shit so stinky would have games while we were in the car with no internet, and now, huzzah, I lost my applications menu. I've uninstalled a bunch of shit, and am scouring the net for how to fix this one simply, but it is not looking simple. If I had a usb loaded with ubuntu, i would wipe and reinstall right now, just to be done fucking with it for a minute. and we're leaving town like any hour now, so I can't call my linux guy.


ETA FIXED LIKE A MOTHERFUCK!

SERIOUSLY, WTF!

REALLY? REALLY REALLY?

SPEECHLESS ANGRY.


DOMA MY PASTY ASS!

WHAT ARE JUMPING UP AND DOWN ON MY LAST NERVE.

Really, i been brewing a couple ideas here for a while, but am finally gonna vomit them out.

I do not understand people who talk about all the privileges they did not have as why they don't get white privilege. I grew up welfare poor,(actually social security poor, so i envied welare kids because they got foodstamps and school lunches) no insurance, raised by a widowed alchoholic abuse survivor mom and her mother. I was mentally different to the point where i no longer had sane privilege early on, and was one of like 4 white girls in my neighborhood, i didn't have local majority privilege, and sometimes even got fucked with for being white.


So you'd think if anyone was gonna pull some "what privilege? just because i was white doesn't mean i wasn't OPPRESSED!" BULLLSHIT IT'D BE ME. but instead, when i irst heard the term White Privilege, i was like "holy shit, there's a name for it" an recognized myself in it. Because since white priv was the only one I had, it was really obvious to me that when i was treated diferent than my classmates and neighbors, it was a white thing.

So, it makes my brain explode when people think lack of other privileges cancel out white privilege. THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS.

ALSO, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE'S PAIN IS THAT YOU CAN NEVER REALLY UNDERSTAND IT LIKE THEY DO.
I could type or an hour about, frex, y labor pains, or my mental episodes, but if you haven't felt them, you can't do more than relate, not understand. So it is not the job of people who have been hurt to try to ake you understand their pain. They can explain what hurt them, and you can FUCKING LISTEN, and try to relate, and accept that ven though you can not understand their pain, it is STILL REAL AS FUCK. AND EVERYONE'S EXPERIENCES OF PAIN WILL BE DIFFERENT.IT DOES NOT MINIMIZE YOUR PAINS TO ACCEPT OTHERS HAVE PAIN TOO.

And as ar as deanding others help you understand, go read, it's out there.

my god, people. stfu.
