Huh.
This reminds me of Carnivale. And maybe a tiny bit Django… and Rango.
Violence via animation tends to freak me out.

It’s really hard not to feel frustrated or angry when I keep feeling like someone’s being condescending to me. But it also makes me incredibly sad because it zaps everything I care about out of where I am. And it flares up sometimes.
Respect means a lot. This is the first “job’ where I’ve even had it.
It’s hard to feel confident I’ll find somewhere else when I feel this way about here. I’m just disappointed and I’m upset that I’m having such a hard time talking myself out of feeling this way about it.

Scientists plan to study how the Saturn storm works in the hopes of gaining insight into hurricanes here on Earth.
Rahhh. Annoyed that even feminist blogs make the grammatical mistake of saying “a women.” I know you can only get so mad about typos, but I feel like this one is more significant than just fucking some language up — when does anyone slip up and say “a men?” It’s the same thing guys. Same fucking thing. A woman. Many women.
When you will not fly into a passion people know you are stronger than they are, because you are strong enough to hold in your rage, and they are not, and they say stupid things they wish they hadn’t said afterward. There’s nothing so strong as rage, except what makes you hold it in—that’s stronger. It’s a good thing not to answer your enemies.

I like this — I tend to think it’s the best way. I also see how the other behavior demands more immediate results. And sometimes that’s necessary or even good.
A quick editorial cartoon about the intersection of self-pity, entitlement, rape, territoriality, misogyny and fear of women. You see it all over the place online in the form of Men’s Rights Activists (of whom there are a few reasonable non-misogynists), Men Going Their Own Way, Pick Up Artists, and dudes touting the “Red Pill”, because The Matrix is a good movie. Look any of these up if you have the stomach for it. These are extreme examples, but watered-down forms of these ideas are everywhere.
In lurking their blogs and youtube channels for a while, I’ve noticed that beyond the standard patriarchal chauvinism there is this deep fear of women - what they will do to me, how they will reject me, how they will use me, how they are changing society in a way that does not favor me, how they are making men into something I don’t like, how they are making themselves into something I don’t like, that they won’t give me what I want, and that they won’t give me what I think is rightfully mine. This goes beyond fear of feminism- this is fear of women at its purest. And that, to quote a puppet, leads to anger and hate. It’s sad.
I am a feminist. I think there’s enough ice cream to go around, but it does mean those of us with 3 scoops might have to give one or two up. Also, The Matrix is a fun movie but probably not anything you should be basing a philosophy on.

Well, this is interesting. I don’t know that I’ve come across this kind of research/presentation before on lady saints.
