Cull Your Dups!

Trimming down your library? Eliminating duplicates? Send books to the New Orleans library.

I don't think they would mind new "library editions" from Amazon, but write them to make sure.

WTF??

Well, apparently because I'm a member of childfree, and because I was annoyed, yet amused, by someone who decided to wank and whine on them, a friend has decided to remove me from their reading list.

This actually upsets me.

Why? It's not like I post all kinds of CF stuff here. I don't understand. Because I oppose stereotyping all childfree as bigotted assholes (even though some truly are)? Because I am offended by drama wanks and such who spew those stereotypes at me? Because I don't like chickenshits in any community (as opposed to personal journal) who like to dish it out but can't take it, and I like an occasional flambe session?? Because I'm a member of (at least one) community that has some very immature members? Or because I sometimes write about political and work stuff from a CF perspective?

OK, some of the angry epithets used by the hardcore childfree types are downright nasty. I don't use them, and just tend to roll my eyes when I read them. Which ones are the nastiest is a matter of personal opinion. But I don't tend to use them here. Why? It's a slang used in a certain subculture, and just plain not appropriate for general use. The same applies to other slang used in other subcultures - pagan, fannish, etc. That and some are just... stupid, crude, or unfunny.

Yes, I'm childfree. I disapprove of bratty kids, and their negligent caretakers. I am horrified by child abuse and neglect. I also love my neice and nephews, and enjoy seeing kids that are well raised. I understand that no kid is an angel all the time - I sure wasn't.

If you don't like childfree, or cf_hardcore, don't read them, please, it will only piss you off. I don't read right wing conservative (e.g. conservatism2)or pro-bush (e.g. community4bush) communities for the same reason.

More Lameness

Aww, gee, I'm special! Fuckwit elorie has decided to refer to me by name in her little fief. That means I got to her, pricked her in the ego! I should have saved the comment for posterity! That's a better prize than having a community named after me!( Read more... )

Note: this post left public out of fairness. Apologies to those who are tired of the wank stuff.

Oh, my...

All right. I really need an ascii art "chicken shit" icon. Then I will make a "note_to_chickenshit" community, because it would be really funny. After all, there is a subtle difference between chickenshits and asshats.

Damnit, LJ, you spoiled my fun...

So, I started a community. It should have been named "note_to_chickenshit" - but no, LiveJournal had to "clean up" the community name, so now it's note_to_chicken. Fucking censors. That's so chickenshit...

EDIT: Damn. Not censors, 15 character limit. Still annoying, and not mentioned where you enter the name. If I'd done "note2chickenshit", it still would have cropped off the final "t".

Consonance

I'm going to Consonance (http://consonance.org/) this weekend. That means I will only have limited time/internet access from Friday afternoon through Monday morning.

So don't expect any replies or other stuff from me after Friday evening until Monday at the earliest.

Have fun, all.
