Diablo 1 & 2 were the first video games I ever owned (along with Starcraft.) They were my introduction to the world of clicking and murdering demons. My husband got me Diablo III for my birthday this year, knowing that I wanted to review it for Blind Lady Versus. It wasn’t so much a livetweet, because with games like this… Read more →
I posted this picture after realizing that it was OK for me to show my eye in my selfie. It got me to thinking about why I was so shy to post it. It got me to wondering what it was that brought the shame back. We all know I’m proud of my eye, we all know I identify as… Read more →
Candy Crowley why, as a woman was your question not “What is the lasting effect of a rape like this on a young woman?” The media reporting on the Steubenville case is nothing short of despicable. Your voices lend support to the theory that the lives of these rapists are worth more than that of the woman they raped…. Read more →
Damsel In Distress Part 1 Do you play video games? Or does your partner? I’ve mentioned Anita Sarkeesian before, and I want to remind everyone that they should pay attention to her.

The hacking collectivist group Anonymous released a video of the Steubenville football players who took a 16-year-old girl from house to house and sexually assaulted her. They simultaneously posted evidence on twitter, pushing the gang rape into the territory of pure unadulterated public torture. Anonymous released this video on the same day the House of Representatives refused to vote to… Read more →
What’s a sad voter to do? Pick up a new hobby? Find a new political cause you care about? Call your mom? … Oh. I see. Okay. You’re going to start a petition to secede from the United States of America. Gotcha. That’s… uhm…. Unreasonable. Yes. Secession. So very 1860. In fact, this has almost become a fad. Now it’s… Read more →
People With Disabilities (PWDs) are not living motivational posters. Please stop using us as such. I get it. You’re able-bodied. You don’t want to go to the gym. Oh man, you really don’t want to go to the gym. Then someone shows this picture. A little boy, running on cheetah feet to replace the legs which he does not have…. Read more →
I was bullied in middle school. I was the kid you made fun of. Well, as an adult I’m tired of watching the scenes of bullying play out again and again and again. Over the internet, in workplaces, during lectures. And it’s not just about the middle schoolers anymore. It’s about adults. And the bullying isn’t targeted at straight, white… Read more →
