  1. Thank you very much for the book! If you are wondering how I found out that the name on the paperwork was you, I typed your name into the muse search engine and a link to a site of yours making use of your name came up. In any event I appreciate it!

  2. I have only had two accounts. Everything else has been a name change. This place is less fun nowadays.

  3. you can't see another person's infractions, so noone would know unless they saw a post with a card beside it. Also, they dont let you delete an account, so if you make a new one you would have to never reveal your true identity.

  4. Was northern lights the one who gave you the warning? She also requested I stop posting if I was going to keep deleting my posts as it made things messy. Clearly being a mod has ruined her.

  5. don't leave the board. I need my birthday twin around!

  6. Oh no, my bringing up equity vs. gender feminism has nothing to do with the effectiveness of your video, it all flows very well and you shouldn't change a thing. It was just a distinction I only heard of when I was in college, which resolved some of my feelings towards the word. It kind of separated what irked me about some feminist messages from what I fully supported in others. But in any event there are exceptions to rules, and even when there are general trends, we both are on the same page that either gender should have access to the possibility of a position in a field traditionally assigned to one's opposite gender. I mean otherwise I wouldn't be allowed to work in a library, as it is a heavily female dominated field (90 percent of library technicians are women, and 80% of librarians are women).

     

    :mad: metaphorical burning will not be enough. But I will settle for it for now.

     

    Thanks for putting up with all of my text!

  7. I ended up watching the video because there is noone in the library. I must say...I approve of the moustache. Also you put videos together quite well for someone with no real training. Have you ever considered pursuing a form of work that would allow you to explore that further?

     

    I think when it comes down to it, most people are equity feminists. I think things get murky for some when dealing with gender feminism, which deals more with gender roles and the like, and whether they are purely the result of social constructs, or if there are general strengths the respective genders naturally play to.

     

    I am afraid one thing in the video detracts heavily from your message though. In fact, it undermines any attempt to listen to your words and try to take them to heart.

     

    I believe you know what it is I speak of.

     

    That GODDAMN MUSE POSTER.

     

    Burn it. Burn it now. Like the mythical bras, set it AFLAME!

  8. Nope! I actually only recently got my laptop back. I broke it for the FOURTH TIME in early January, and ASUS fixed it for free again because they are the best.

    This message has been brought to you by ASUS. The friendly computer making company people.

     

    I am on my work computer now, but I will attempt to take a look when I go home!...after the Montreal Canadiens game. My team has been kind of awful as of late, but they owe me a win today because it is Valentine's Day and they are my true love.

  9. Dear Tegan,

     

    Do you want your feminism to be self defining, or incidental? What I mean by that is, do you want to be known as Tegan the feminist, or Tegan who among other things sees the issues feminism highlights as being important. The reason that I ask this is that I see you writing the word feminism a lot lately, and it reminds me of when I say I am into history, and then I worry people will think of me as "Kyle, the guy who likes history". Then I get quizzed sometimes and am clueless as I have only really started to read up on these things.

     

    This isn't me urging you not to be vocal and proud, but it's me wondering how exactly you want to be seen in the end. Now that I am an old and crippled man, I find that a lot of the act of believing something lies in contemplation as opposed to declaration. I guess I am writing to you mainly because I see a lot of people making the usual canned jokes at you in response to the word feminism that always come up, and it seems like an annoying series of back and forths to have.

     

    This is Sven, over and out.

  10. I will settle for a Kyle.

     

    I am glad, they are tasty sandwiches!

     

    I will post again one day, when Dusty returns...

  11. I forgot to pursue the club sandwiches. Is a character named Sven in it?

  12. you WILL help me out?

  13. Now now, I can't start the year off with a broken promise. That kind of false start would be reminiscent of this:

  14. I am glad you approve. However, as I promised Gil I would not post on days Dusty didn't post, I had to delete my message in Banter. All I can do now is sit and lurk and leave messages in profiles:

  15. gifs to save for later:

  16. Balls, you have probably even mentioned that to me before as well. I will come up with something tomorrow, I work in a goddamn library. If you have a librarything or goodreads account, the sites will come up with automatic suggestions based on what other users with those books have recommended. I would suggest you check it out, it can sometimes be quite helpful.

  17. It largely takes place in Italy though...but still!

  18. My novel suggestion is Catch 22. It takes place during World War 2. Enjoy!

  19. the woman at my college's cafeteria makes the best club sandwiches. I will ask her how she makes them tomorrow.

     

    I am trying to cut down on my board posts but I could not resist this one as these sandwiches are so amazing. Sweet Jesus.

     

    Over and out.

  20. oi,

     

    if you get the chance, check out the Dear Hunter's The Color Spectrum. That is, if you still dig them. It is pretty fantastic.

  21. ALSO I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK :'(l

  22. I haven't started it yet. I likely won't start it for a few more years, I have so much on my plate!

     

    I hope you enjoy Til We Have Faces. I found the last bit of the book strange and a bit overwhelming, but in a good way.

     

    Come back to my profile. Look at the bottom post. Guess what is there? A POST WHERE YOU ALREADY LINKED ME TO YOUR GOODREADS. Get with it, woman.

  23. that would be the best Christmas present everrr

     

    Well as I was telling you it was ok to take a higher dose I would have felt responsible had anything happened. Glad that you're alive and well though!
