Inspired by the tumblr “Yo, is this racist?” A friend of mine has started greeting me with “Mah Ninjaaa.” Don’t panic guys, she’s white and likes women. She’s also pretty cool and we’ve acknowledged that, due to the feminist stuff I’m always on about, I’m an honorary woman and an honorary asian by virtue of studying japanese philosophy.
If any of the social justice bloggers read...

people seem to think that someone’s worth as a person is directly tied to how moral they are. that assigning value to people on the basis of “she is a good person” and “he is a bad person” is preferable and less shallow than other bases of comparison. whatever philosophical system you are tied to, it’s ok to dismiss or attack people who don’t live up to...

Today I went by Highland Mall, Austin’s first important enclosed shopping mall, and the first place I job-hunted when I initially moved here in 1989. Most of it was shuttered, and the life was all sucked out of the spaces. It will eventually be taken over and converted into classrooms for Austin Community College, which seems a good use for it.
