When I was in university, I drank a lot.

And I did it mostly with a group of male friends.

I sometimes fell down. I sometimes passed out. I sometimes woke up feeling murky about what happened the night before.

But if I passed out, my friends tucked me in or took me home. And I fell, they picked me up. And murky mornings were followed by jovial afternoons of nursing hangovers and swapping stories about the previous evening’s adventures.

And I never, for a second, felt unsafe in their company.

That’s not to say these men should patted on the back for not being rapists. But it goes to show that “boys will be boys” is a piss-poor excuse for rape.

Real men and have known many treat women with respect.

Move over, brogrammers. The next generation is here, in the form of an entrepreneurial nine-year-old blonde girl on a scooter.

As of writing this, Mackenzie Wilson, 9, has raised more than $14,000 on Kickstarter to create a role-playing video game. She — or, more accurately, her mom — set up the page two days ago, asking for a paltry $829. Read more.

XoJane insomnia
"Things go in and out of focus. My anxiety about my exhaustion wakes me up, which only makes me more tired the next day, which only further feeds the cycle."

— Yep, that pretty much describes what insomnia feels like

The best reason I can think of to quit reliable job as a tech writer is to build an augmented reality TARDIS from scratch.

"

You’ll climb the backs of giant ogres, desperately hacking and slashing as they try to wriggle you off. You’ll triumph in the glory of slicing a chimera’s snake-tail from its body and watching it writhe in pain. You’ll gobble down health potions as bandits rain explosive arrows down upon you as wolves nip at legs. You’ll curse your luck as you hide in the shadows of a cave, waiting for the sun to come up and the monsters to go away.

But you won’t fall in love. You won’t make friends. And you won’t find yourself lost in a storybook tale within a rich fantasy universe.

A post at Rabbit Ears about how women in Game of Thrones seduce men by challenging their worldviews. 

A post about how whatever happens with Community in the post-Dan Harmon era, fans can take comfort knowing the first three seasons tell a satisfying story all on their own.
