Not all Muslims are in the IRA.

tikken:

FINALLY someone steps up to dispel the vicious stereotype that all British people are born without a face.

Also, not all gay people are black.

“

Men who want to flirt with women have to realize: Women live in a state of continual vigilance about sexual safety. It’s like having a mild case of hay fever that never goes away. It’s not debilitating. You’re not weak. You’re not afraid. You just suck it up and get on with your life. It’s nothing that’s going to stop you from making discoveries, or climbing mountains, or falling in love. Sometimes you can almost forget about it. It doesn’t mean it’s not there, subtly sucking your energy. You learn to avoid situations that make it worse and seek out conditions that make it better.

If a female stranger is wary around you, it is not because she suspects you are a rapist, or that all men are rapists. It’s because a general level of circumspection is what vigilance requires. Don’t take it personally.

If this frustrates you, try to remember that women are blamed for lapsed vigilance. If a woman does get raped, everyone rushes to see where she let her guard down. Was she drinking? Was she alone? Was she wearing a short skirt? Did she go to a strange man’s room for coffee at 4am?

A woman must be seen to be vigilant as well as be vigilant. If she is deemed insufficiently vigilant, she will be at least partly blamed for any sexual violence that befalls her. If she’s regarded as downright reckless, that “evidence” can be used to completely exonerate her rapist. If it comes down to a he said/she said dispute over whether sex was consensual, as so many rape cases do, the dispute becomes a referendum on whether the woman seems like the sort of reckless person who would have sex with a stranger.

If a woman does go back to a strange man’s hotel room at 4am, even if she only wants a coffee and conversation, she’s more or less given him the power to rape her. No jury is going to believe she went up there for anything but sex. So, don’t be surprised if a stranger reacts badly to that suggestion.

How Pixar almost deleted Toy Story 2

I’ve had this heart attack several times, but never with the potential expense.

jkottke:

Taken from the Studio Stories series included on the Blu-ray versions of Toy Story 1 & 2, here’s a short story about how Toy Story 2 was almost erased before the film could be rendered for theaters.

Woody’s hat disappeared. And then his boots disappeared. And then as we kept checking, he disappeared entirely. Woody’s gone.

RIP Maurice Sendak

As you may have already heard, the world is a lot worse off this morning. Maurice Sendak, the one-of-a-kind author of Where the Wild Things Are and In the Night Kitchen, has died at age 83.

One of his last of countless great contributions was the unforgettable interview he gave to Stephen Colbert earlier this year. Hilarious and genuine, it was Sendak at his zero-bullshit purest.

If anybody needs me, I’ll be watching it in my private boat in and out of weeks and almost over year.

:’(

I’m gonna cry, man; I’m gonna cry.
