Aw yes!
oh sweet dear god.

I worked really hard on all of this
Like the whole rest of the internet, I’m super impressed. Makes me want to get up to date on Homestuck.
Two Steps to a Bikini-Ready Body
1. Look in the mirror and say “Bitch, I’m fabulous.”
2. Don bikini.
ESSENTIALLY HOW I LIVE MY LIFE.
(I LOOK GREAT IN A BIKINI.)
The Human Mind: This is the last thing I'll say and this is the last thing I will post on this account
I am done with this because there is no way I can argue with idiots on the internet because no matter what I say it’ll seem racist from now on. I will not delete this and slink away but my core message to everything that began this shit was RACISM is not right. Only 2 people came to my actual…
Yo, maybe if you had managed to get through your derailing bullshit without referring to a black dude as “uppity”, I might actually believe you when you say you’re not racist.
Just kidding, you’d still be a dumbass racist.
“I’ll delete this ostensibly racist post now” always makes me laugh. Mu’fucka, don’t you know how the internet works? If you said anything that matters to anyone your words are everywhere now.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, third book in Stieg Larsson’s Millennium series, starts each of its four parts with a small essay on women soldiers. I really like them. The first:
It is estimated that some six hundred women served during the American Civil War. They had signed up disguised as men. Hollywood has missed a significant chapter of cultural history here – or is this history ideologically too difficult to deal with? Historians have often struggled to deal with women who do not respect gender distinctions, and nowhere is that distinction more sharply drawn than in the question of armed combat. (Even today, it can cause controversy having a woman on a typically Swedish moose hunt.)
But from antiquity to modern times, there are many stories of female warriors, of Amazons. The best known find their way into the history books as warrior queens, rulers as well as leaders. They have been forced to act as any Churchill, Stalin, or Roosevelt: Semiramis from Nineveh, who shaped the Assyrian Empire, and Boudicca, who led one of the bloodiest English revolts against the Roman forces of occupation, to cite just two. Boudicca is honoured with a statue on the Thames at Westminster Bridge, right opposite Big Ben. Be sure to say hello to her if you happen to pass by.
On the other hand, history is quite reticent about women who were common soldiers, who bore arms, belonged to regiments, and played their part in battle on the same terms as men. Hardly a war has been waged without women soldiers in the ranks.
“WE GET IT, YOU LIKE YOUR DRAGON AGE CHARACTER.”
This armor cost nearly four real human dollars on the Xbox marketplace. But I had the Xbux floating around, not doing anything, so
Boneyard Jones: Maybe I’ll make this a Thing on my tumblr. More Makes More. Post the various versions of her that show up. I like how weird it is. It’s not meta, not any pop-culture-analysis concept, just weird. A fictional character nobody has heard of makes versions of herself in videogames.
Boneyard Jones: Again the phrase up its own ass comes to mind.
Rhetorian: I’m reminded of those concept artbooks SNK puts out, some of which have pictures like, say, a bunch of King of Fighters characters sitting around someone’s living room, playing King of Fighters on a playstation
