Under the Weather
How I feel at the moment, pretty much.
Ugh. Not feeling too well, so no post today. (Maybe a short one, later.)

About Man Boobz
Misogyny. I mock it.
I find a lot of it in what's called the "manosphere," a loose collection of Men's Rights, Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW), and Pickup Artist (PUA) sites. That said, there are numerous posts here that don't have anything to do with MRAs, or PUAs or any of their ilk.
Contact me by clicking my head, above, or at futrelle [at] well.com
Enjoy!

OT but apparently there was a “White Man’s March”. It was as well attended as an MRA rally. It was mocked on twitter #whitemanmarchprotestsigns. Here are some of the best:http://www.rageagainsttheminivan.com/2014/03/best-mock-signs-from-white-mans-march.html

My favorite is: “We checked our privilege and found that we didn’t have enough”.
Testing more …

Take care of yourself man. I dealt with a mild attack a couple of months ago and it took me out for a few days so I’m really hoping you don’t have bronchitis.
@neuroticbeagle
His video explaining the march is fucking AMAZING!! I really hope someone did a “Lightning March” (which has the distinctly unique advantage of being a “non-violent flash mob”. I can’t stop laughing at the fact that this dude thought that he had to clarify that when he says flash mob, he’s not advocating for anything violent)
OMG!!! OMG!!!! The bankers have shown up!!!!
o.O trying it the other way
9. Their messy tidiness.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Yup, it was written by MRAs, alright.
RE: neuroticbeagle
I heard about that from inurashii! It just makes me want to sigh. Boys, boys, nobody says you can’t take pride in being a white guy. Just know that in my country, that’s kinda like taking pride in being able to convert oxygen into carbon dioxide. Like, good for you! That sure must’ve been a challenge!
ZOMG, Mat Johnson was involved in the mock signs post! @_@ *professional adoration*
(Mat Johnson is a comics creator who wrote Incognegro, which is awesome and all of you who like comics should totally read it. It takes place in the Harlem Renaissance, where a white-passing reporter infiltrates the KKK and then spills their dirty secrets. I LOVE IT.)

You have to use an underscore ( _ ) for the mouth bit. Either eye placement works: O_o o_O
Here’s a list for those interested:

LBT: Really? “Incognegro” is a wonderful work. It’s sitting on the shelf next to my hardcover “Blacksad” anthology.
I’ve actually run into a number of authors lately. Martin Wagner of the “Hepcats” comic series blogs and comments occasionally over at FTB, and Mercedes Lackey comments regularly at Pandagon. (I have to admit though, I haven’t read her books. I was an Anne McCaffery fan, my brother was a Mercedes Lackey fan, and we were foolishly territorial about that.)
Whoops, misread. I thought you meant the mock the MRA graphics we did earlier. Figured it out. :)
Those tweets are priceless.
Okay, this is weird. Radio’s had two versions of Bolero played today. First sounded like it was played on a tin whistle and the second like it was by a jazz quartet in a hurry to go home.
I think someone must have given them a How Not To list.

IT IS. I need to buy both of these things. (I didn’t get to read Blacksad until this month. GOOOORGEOUS. Watercolor comics must be ungodly difficult to print, but they look so niiiiiice.)
This cat gif has solved most of my personal problems, so it may cure illness as well. (Ok, it hasn’t technically solved any of my problems, but I can’t stop watching it.)

Some chicken soup and citrus fruit could help. Yet if you have the standard common cold it might have you on contract for a week or so, meaning no matter what you do your body has committed to keeping your ill for that duration so as to bombard the hell out of the intrudors. Just wait it out and it’ll pass.
