This blog is a strange mix of all the stuff I'm interested in, a bit like a jumble sale; but one of those jumble sales where everything is broken and covered in dust. This blog includes, but isn't restricted to; art, comics, films and other media-related jazz, Homestuck and other fandoms I like, video games, anime, more video games, queer stuff, social justice issues, pretty photos, music, old music, musicians, vintage stuff, girls, boys, suits, my whining, my rants, my own opinions and burlesque. Lots of burlesque.
I'm a nerd, a geek, a gamer and cinema fanatic; I'm a little monster and a feminist, I happen to be very queer and very unapologetic, I'm liberal, I prefer neutral pronouns and I will use trigger warnings.
I'm about one leash away from becoming a full-blown BDSM blog.

Am I the only one that finds the phrase “that’s my girl!” to be woefully condescending?

For one, it’s like “yeah female empowerment, now with extra patronising!” as if the fact you did something and happen to be female is something that needs congratulating.

And the “my girl” thing.
I’m nobody’s girl, not even a girl. Thank you for assuming both my gender and my relationship with you.

I’m someones, not yours.
