Pick your five favourite ever TV shows (in no particular order), and answer the following questions:
Doctor Who
Noah and Saskia
Being Human
The West Wing
The Simpsons
(I’m sure I have other favourites or ones I like more than some of these, I just can’t remember!)
Favorite character in 2? Saskia. For the Aussie geek girl wonderfulness.

I will never understand why some people are more invested in defending feminism than supporting those who feminism is supposed to, and fails to, help.

“This is such a bunch of bullshit!!! There are millions of fat and obese women in...”
– Troll of the day. On my thread on gender and space.
I'm turning 30 soon...
leonineclaire:
and as the cliche goes, you (and I) start to think more closely about what you want from your life, that seems to take on a different timbre/image/tenor from the usual 20s questioning. And I have been doing a lot of that questioning lately!
I have withdrawn from something that I really loved. Or that I thought I loved. Although I just felt so worn out from it at the end. So I’m...

Twitter and Tumblr, help me with my moderation...
So I just got the following two comments from the same person at Feministe on my gender/space thread. Do I let them through, and if so, you wanna help smack them down for me?
Bottom line.
Behemoths take up more space. Its basic physics. A 6′0 man that is 230 lbs of sinew, bone, and brawn takes up a helluva lot more space side to side than a 5′0 woman that is 100 lbs soaking wet. That is just...

Bonus D: for…well, for all of it really.
POINTING OUT RACISM IS SHALLOW, FOLKS.
(via dorianisms)
LOL… i wonder if that was a response to a comment i recently left… ha ha ha… although, you know that sort of comment is actually not abnormal...

'All I know is that, at that one moment of time,... →
The piece is called ‘If you can’t avoid cliches, use them all’.
So I know it's only been two days since the date...
but I’m already kind of over the campaign. August 21 cannot come fast enough.
(I’m going to a political conference a few days after, that will be entertaining.)
I wish I weren't such a teenage girl.
dontraiseyoureyes:
I am, with teenage-y problems that aren’t important, at all. If growing up were something I could immediately cause to happen, I would, believe me.
So why is it that I can’t stop caring about trivial matters? Substanceless angst is a bad for me, because it just foments guilt. “Oh, you stupid little privileged brat. Why don’t you get some real fucking problems?” AGH.
Hey,...
dontraiseyoureyes-deactivated20 asked: you are awesome.
That is all.
That is all.

Post-Raptor Society →

Things that are shitting me today
The bus company from HELL. I may end up blogging this.
Old friends who turn up on Facebook conversations and slag stuff you care about, and by extension you and how you go on and on about said stuff. ETA: Turns out this is not what happened! :D
The water. It is off. I want a shower. I want to brush my teeth. It’s coming on at MIDNIGHT.
It’s been a weekend of pain so far.
I...

And we will call it Chally's Law.
The more blogs one moderates, the less sense comments will make on the whole.

And you wonder what else we get up to.
I love talking to @dandyxands aka rhymeswithnothing because just a few minutes into a conversation with her, I’m doing stuff like finding hats featuring hedgehogs in ice cream cones.

Thick and luscious pancakes slathered with maple...

Tumblr note!
One of these days I need to have a guinea pig day.
So I have your Daily Tennants scheduled through a while into September. Proud of me? But seriously, you need to send me the hottest pic you can find for Ridiculously Hot Week, I need one more.
I’m giving up Daily Tennant in November. A year is a good run, I think.
A conversation I have far too much
Person: So what are you going to do with your theatre school qualification?
Chally: Well I've mostly just been using it to show off, you know, 'oh, I went to a fancy foreign drama school'. So I'll probably just keep doing that.
Person: Okay.
Chally: ... I was thinking of going back and doing a teaching course concurrently with the degree I'm doing now. And then I can teach through the rest of uni and charge parents of private school kids exorbiant amounts of money.
Person: Okay.
