I have BBC One on livestream on the projector screen.
Bring on BAFTAs.
GOOD EVENING EUROPE!
Thank you for the votes :D
Eurovision Song Contest tonight. One of the few times when Swedes are any kind of nationalistic.
Gotta love that I came to tumblr today to see pics of Matt and the torch.
And it’s the first thing that greets me. Obviously, I only follow quality blogs.
Last night I dreamt about there being another Stargate-movie.
It was really weird, but Sam and Jack were together and happy.
I hope I get just as good dreams tonight.
You know you’ve been playing too much sims when…
your bf is standing in your way and you go “Aah, miwa(h)y. Ellaganda. Shuggarawa(h)j.” With matching moves.

Salt and pepper
Filling: whatever you want. Pictured muffins are filled with sun dried tomatoes, olives and bacon.
Mix it all in a big bowl, portion it into muffin tins and in the oven at 175 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes. I then added more cheese on top and put them back in, but higher up, for about 5 minutes.

Let me talk to you about books.
Specifically, one book. This book.
This book should be a best seller. This book should be required reading for graduating from high school. Before you get that diploma, you read this book.
This book deals with debunking “Neurosexism,” which is a very fancy term for all of that evolutionary psychology bullshit that people spill about those “brain differences” between boys and girls.
This book debunks such myths as:
- Boys are better at math than girls
- Women make crappy lawyers/business CEOs/etc, as their brains are not cut out for aggression.
- Men make crappy counselors/primary school teachers/primary parents/etc, as their brains are not cut out for empathy.
- MEN ARE BUILT FOR GOING OUT AND HUNTING WHILE WOMEN ARE BUILT FOR STAYING HOME AND BABYMAKING IT’S NOT SEXISM IT’S JUST BIOLOGY
- And many other such myths.
Furthermore, this book covers topics such as:
- Neurosexism and gender perceptions in multiple races (as this is not a singularly white experience, just as the western world isn’t a singularly white experience)
- Sex discrimination in the workplace, and how women are (or, more often, are not) allowed to behave
- How science is used (badly) to support many of these claims
- Experiences of trans* people, both through interviews and empirical studies.
AND FINALLY - It is all brilliantly researched, cited, compiled - and it’s easy to read! Cordelia Fine actually manages to be funny while writing this, which I think is important, because it makes all of this information infinitely accessible.
Delusions of Gender has reinforced what Oberlin taught me: The gender binary is stupid and arbitrary, and dangerous. And it is a self-perpetuating bias that needs to be addressed to be overcome.
This book is probably amazing. I am just using this post to adress certain feelings of mine.
Now, I live in Sweden. This has to be said because yes, sometimes I look at the rest of the world and go “THE F*CK?” (I also grew up in Stockholm at Södermalm, which means that politically I am quite red or green)
Rather than for us to talk about “men are like this”, “women are like this” (Or, as in this book “men are not..”/ “women are not”) why can’t we talk about people?
Why is it so important to say that because you have a penis or a vagina you will want to do this or this in life? Why do we tell our little girls they are pretty and the boys that they look cool or strong? And why are we then surprised when our teenage girls wear tiny tops and loads of make-up, and the boys fight in the corridors; WHEN WE TAUGHT THEM!
I just have a lot of feelings, ok? And I am really happy that in my generation, after the first backlash, a gender-neutral pronoun (when the gender of the person you are talking about is unknown) will most probably be more ok to use. And I hope that it will be okay to tell people not to tell my future children ANYTHING about their looks. I hope that people will allow my future daughter and/or son to not be defined by what’s between their legs, but by the personalities they have.
I also feel that this text didn’t make all too much sense. But ugh, it had to be said.
