Top six Joss Whedon moments.

Oh, wow, you hate me.  But not as much as I hate Joss, so let’s do this my way: 

Top Six Joss Whedon moments, with links:

1).  That one time that Joss said Spike was his  favorite character and how his narrative arc was the greatest, showing where his actual ‘feminist’ interests are.  Because he truly thinks that he gave more development and focus to a secondary male character in two seasons on a show titled after his female heroine than he did to the heroine in all seven seasons.  And he doesn’t see a problem with that. 

2).  That one time when Joss Whedon tried to sell Firefly to networks and co-writers by talking about his female heroine of color getting gang raped by Reavers and how the experience was going to change the life of his white, male hero, who will then learn to respect women who are whores.  Because he can’t respect a woman who chooses to have sex out of her own free will for profit, but he’ll kiss the hand of one whose CHOICE and CONSENT were taken away.  It’s the taking away of Inara’s agency that makes her worthy of Mal’s respect. 

3).  That time when Joss said that Summer Glau kind of looked Asian, so we didn’t have to read her as white.  Because white people can pass for every race, we don’t even NEED anyone of other races wasting their time in Hollywood. From what I know, he’s stated this fail opinion multiple times, in defense of his casting choices.

4).  That time when Joss Whedon punished a woman for getting pregnant by ruining her character and then firing the actress, and then lying to her to bring her back in order to kill her character. 

5). Those multiple times when Joss let white actors audition for roles he had written to be played by people of color.  And how they, of course, ended up being race lifted and being casted as white.  Except!  Sometimes, you’re supposed to pretend they’re Asian, so that’s progress, according to Joss. 

6).  That time when Joss Whedon made a Dollhouse episode (Spy in the House of Love) where Sierra infiltrates an institution by replacing an Asian woman in her work place, and NO ONE notices that it’s another woman.  Because all Asians look the same?

GARDENERS BEWARE: Many of the plants you buy at Home Depot and Lowe’s may be treated with bee-killing neonictinoids. Because there’s no clear labeling, many good-intentioned gardeners end up poisoning the very bees they are trying to help! http://ow.ly/xakJk (*Home Depot has indicated it is working on safer alternatives, but Lowe’s has not yet responded).

That’s just one of the many things you’ll learn from our fascinating photo essay featuring beekeepers and experts! Check it out » http://ow.ly/xakJk The more you learn, the more you can help protect our bees!

I’ve stopped buying plants at Home Depot and Lowes, but I wonder if local nurseries do the same? D: maybe its better to just go from seeds.

Fedoras for wealthy corporations.

Today was another “bad glasses day”
Meaning headaches. Because my prescription is four years out of date.

So a coworker declared that he was going to start a kickstarter to fund my new glasses.

Approximately one minute after I booked an eye exam XD
