Eurgh, my belches taste like Chinese food... and I haven't had any in weeks! What gives? I did get my fried dough. Oof, maybe not the hottest of ideas.

Plus! Late night "yard" sale (yeah yeah it's a stoop, pedants) find = skeins of wool yarn for a dollar each!!! Why didn't I get MORE!!! I also got some size 7 needles. The woman selling only had one size 15, boo. Oh well. Now I don't need to go spend too much money on yarn, yay!!!! Wait until I get to show my score at Knit Club!

Also: if you find yourself writing on teenage girls and pop music fandom, for the love of Baby Jesus, please, please, please do not use the words "unthreatening" or "safe". The original Bitch magazine rightly called writers on this shit 20 years ago. It was bullshit then, and it's bullshit now (And now it's being applied to, among other things, teen girls who like gay manga. Becuase the only reason a young girl would be interesed in gay themes is because gay boys are "safe" and not because two boys doin' it are totally hot, oh no.) I watched two documentaries tonight that both fell back on this trope and I am just disappointed and disgusted. (And thoroughly unsurprised) I want to say "you know better, so quit it" but frankly, I don't people do know. It's just so nice to project onto teenage girls, isn't it. (Hello subcultural studies. Hello Brit sociologists.)
