fuck FB - in support of #yesallwomen

Also, I am back off Facebook for 30 days. So I will be posting here randomly a LOT more often. YAY!

I really hate facebook, I really do. I mean, I also love it and as I have said before: it's the number 1 way i keep in touch with my family now. But, it's also full of idiots and I can't deal any longer. I am really hitting a very bad spot in my depression, and I need to really work on that now and I can't argue or worry about the idiots anymore.

Which is so funny, cause this blog is public, and so all the world can see it, and I get less bullshit over here than on my private FB page. Weird.

The straw the broke the camels back was #yesallwomen, and the bruised ego response from many men really startled and upset me. This was a subject that ignited passion in me I hadn't felt in a long while. One of my facebook friends went to his own page and basically subtweeted me with a long rant on how men fantasize about coming across a woman being raped so that they can save her, and that all rapist can be killed and that it's not fair that men need to do this all the time. That it is a woman's responsibility to be able to defend herself, to keep in shape so she can harm an attacker on a moments notice and that not enough women are carrying guns. I was enraged. The whole point was lost on this person and many more like him.

The point is that we should be raising people not to rape and kill each other to begin with! But, that's too hard...just hand everyone a gun and let it all work itself out.

Anyhow, there are many good stories going around about this, and I'm at work, and have to get actual work done..so I am just gonna pass this off to you to look into, I encourage you to read all about it and I'll come rant some more later.Included below are many articles from the guys that did get it and are in support of yesallwomen...I wish there were more men like this out there....

So, I am in the market for a new camera...it's gonna be a pain in the ass, but it's gotta happen. I want new, but I am willing to take used, and cost wise it looks like I am going to have to take used and then rent it back out.


I want a Canon 5D Mark II.

This camera is going to have to earn her keep from the second she gets here. But, I think it's...I know it's necessary to do this. I need to have the gear to produce the art I know I am capable of, and live the life I know I am supposed to be living. In the meantime, I need to get the other camera to help pay for this one...I have my next group art show coming up in October. My goal is to have this camera first, possibly on a credit card...and then quickly pay it back off.

I am pretty sure there is only one person that reads this blog...but if anyone out there has a good used Canon Mark II, let me know.

And some people think I live in my own little world and have no idea what's going on.
What the hell? We have 30min lunches right now for summer and this guy is trying to FUCK you and you don't seem to understand either of these facts.

I want to rant for days, but I actually have work to get done and am just sitting here praying no one noticed our damn 1 hour lunch.

Fuck.
