gwydion* The dirty tricks involved in the Republican stripping of Union rights in Michigan:
* Services for Disabled Veterans continue to be shamefully slow and inadequate and are actually getting worse:
* Republican Snake Oil Salesmen:
* "What Happened To McDonald Case Instigator Molly Shannon Flaherty?" http://transgriot.blogspot.com/2012/12/what-happened-to-mcdonald-case.html
* Reality is Showing it's Liberal Bias again. Republicans are surprised that denying women in poverty access to birth control is dramatically more expensive for the State as the services those unwanted babies need costs way more than the money they saved by denying women birth control in the first place. Um... no duh? http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/07/us/likely-increase-in-births-has-some-lawmakers-revisiting-cuts.html?_r=0
* "Apple Maps 'is life-threatening' to motorists lost in Australia heat:" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20663447
* Pictures of the Sworn Virgins of the Balkans: http://www.flavorwire.com/353012/sworn-virgins-intimate-photos-of-women-living-as-men-in-the-balkans
* "Genetically?" http://dearcissexism.tumblr.com/post/31889957729/genetically
* Help girls in Malawi get an education: http://tv.msnbc.com/2012/12/10/introducing-the-k-i-n-d-tuition-program-for-girls/
* Sunday's sleep was stolen y a five hour Birmin howling jag followed by my sinuses waking me up over and over. I have a terrible cold that nothing seems to touch or mitigate. Today's sleep was stolen by me having to exchange calls with three different insurance companies nd the folks who inspected my car after the last time. It turns out that my insurance company didn't bother to contact the insurance company of the guy who rammed me in October, or did they tell me that that was my job. I guess they were relying on telepathy? Which complicates things as now there's more damage to the same part of the car. Also, it tuns out the BMW guy was stretching the truth about the being insured thing, which also complicates things. It turns out the car and his husband were insured, but not him. I do not understand how they can afford the BMW, bu t not to pay for the damage they did to my car. Just saying. Especially as I am hard put to see how they could have bee more in the wrong. They did not report the accident to their insurance and my insurance having not tried to claim the money nor told me I was meant to do it, I had to start a new claim all these months later which looks fishy and likely they will contest. You know how I was all charitable about the accident? I'm not feeling charitable now that I know he he is screwing me over deliberately. On the upside, Friday's rear ender was a solid citizen with proper insurance who did report the accident to his company and they aren't contesting what with the police reports and all the witnesses etc..
* I have just had my most popular post on Tumblr so far. When I checked today it was at 942 notes and rising. O.o It was that commentary thing I did on Historical Accuracy and Sexism in fantasy that was talking about how different the view of medieval women is from their real lives. It took me by surprise, what with me not having that many followers and it not being that far off what I usually write. Tumblr is weird. On the up side, there's some good conversation going on about Medieval lives and I got to recommend my favorite book on Reconquista women to someone planning to write a novel about it. It is certainly more fun than my recent debate with someone who's whole initial argument consisted of "Unions hurt families" and no back up, who then tried a set of FOX style talking points the data contradicts. Ah, Internet.
