as far as i’m concerned, the most powerful feminist can do WHATEVER SHE WANTS.

THAT IS WHAT DEFINES A TRUE FEMINIST.

this includes: wearing heels, wearing combat boots, wearing nothing, sporting lipstick, shaving, not shaving, waxing, not waxing, being political, being apolitical, having a job, being homeless, gazing at men, gazing at women, gazing at porn of all sorts, glamming up like a drag queen, going in man-drag, being in a five-way polyamorous relationship, being childless, being a stay-at-home parent, being single, having a wife, having a husband, and gazing/cooing adoringly at those that wives or husbands anywhere they fucking choose, including elevators, restaurants, puppet shows (well, maybe keep it g-rated if there are small children present), ….or on theatrical stages at fringe festivals. are we getting the picture here?? the most powerful feminist can do WHATEVER SHE WANTS. the minute you believe you’re a “bad feminist” because you said the wrong thing/wore the wrong thing/got married/chose to have children…or otherwise broke some unspecified ”code of feminism”: DON’T BUY IT. THERE ISN’T ONE. you can do ANYTHING YOU WANT. ANYTHING. THAT’S THE POINT.¹

I agree wholeheartedly, except I just want to point out that a feminist doesn’t have to be a woman. It can also be a man, or someone who doesn’t want to identify with either gender. Any human being should be able to be whoever he/she/it likes.

Netflix is announcing that its streaming movie and TV service is on its way to Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland before the end of 2012, joining the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland, and 47 countries in Latin America.¹

”This changes everything”, so to speak.

Maybe not everything, but it’s definitely an important step toward a better home media setup. I’ve previously written about my love for the Plex Media Server and how it transformed watching movies I own into something much more enjoyable. Netflix plus a Roku or and AppleTV might do the same thing for movies I don’t ”need” to own, but want to watch. (Hello Predator marathon!)

Today’s Daring Fireball post on the Retina MacBook Pro is really Gruber at his best. A long, but succinct post with lots of his personality poured into it.

But now this. The 15-inch MacBook Pro With Retina Display. This is a boom. A revolution in resolution. The display I’ve been craving ever since I first saw high-resolution laser printer output.¹
