Going through the racism tag on tumblr.
So depressing.  Even the posts I agree with. Racism is inextricable from power. Racism is not the hate one man feels toward another man. Racism is the systemic conditioning that we are all subjected to, that causes us to feel this hate.  That causes us to pretend, or genuinely not understand, that we are not from birth taught that there is a hierarchy of man based on arbitrary factors. Humans...

My first youtube comment ever...
…and I get told to kill myself.  I am a real internet grown-up now, folks!  Can I have a Byte Mitzvah? The video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGeMy-6hnr0 My comment: I’m white. I suck. Let’s fight ignorance. We are responsible for what these people say. If we who are educated do not speak up, then equality will simply never happen. I hate that I represent a race whose...

Snow
A snow is falling gently over Ohio. I don’t believe in God and I don’t believe in heaven, but I do believe in nature and I do believe in peace. Beat at peace, AB.  Matriarch, you will be missed.

It's my birthday!
Every year, I consider turning off facebook for my birthday. Don’t get me wrong—I’m a social media junkie.  I am also a huge narcissist, which probably has a lot to do with my dependence on social media.  I crave the little red numbers.  I live for them. But the etiquette of the birthday message drives me bananas.  I always appreciate it, but more often than not I scratch my...

My brief thoughts on the game
To paraphrase Ray Rice, “there are 60 minutes in a football game, not 20 seconds.” Despite all the hilarious “Cundiff is Einhorn/Finkle” jokes, despite how heartbreaking it is to lose that way, the man helped us win a hell of a lot more games than he helped us lose.  Besides, his mistake deprived us of a chance to win the game—not a guarantee to do so.  We played so...

Purple Friday
I was walking up to work today, bundled up in my black peacoat and jeans.  My Ravens scarf is the warmest I own, so I was wearing it, but most of it was tucked away under my coat.  This very cute girl, as she was passing me on my way to work, yells “Go Ravens!”  Hell yes.  Not only do we have attractive fans in Ohio, she recognized it from a tiny portion of scarf.  I love the fans, I...

Dexter and Deb
Okay.  Here are my two cents.  If you’re reading the tag and you don’t know what I’m about to talk about, SPOILERS PRZ (but why are you reading the tag?)  Ahem. I’m very skeeved out by it.  As for the whole, “you watch a show about a sympathetic serial killer but incest creeps you out?”  I give my age old “believable in the context of the world...

Dexter this season (spoilers, kind of)
hadersgonnahade: am i the only one that will not be okay with it if something happens between deb and dexter i mean really YES.  They are BROTHER and SISTER.  It’s a bond that goes deeper than blood.  She thinks of him as her literal brother, not as her companion-that-is-like-family.  Dexter is very good at pushing boundaries, but this isn’t one they should push. Although, Travis...

Ravens vs. Bengals
We played exactly right yesterday.  No crazy comebacks, no horrid performances on either side of the ball.  Instead, we played to our ability, and consistently so.  Cam Cameron remembered Ray Rice exists, and Torrey Smith cemented his place in my heart.  Flacco was cool-headed but not perfect, which I’d prefer to be the expectation of my quarterback.  Our defense was impecable, but...

papertopen asked: I'm extremely impressed by your knowledge of the Walking Dead characters. Specifically, their names haha. I've watched every episode and I still call them as follows: The main dude, his wife, his son, his slightly more & more dickish partner, the old guy, the black guy, the annoying blonde, the short haired lady, her daughter, short round (why do they dress him like short round!??...
