The Vibrating Square: November 2010
http://vibratingsquare.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Half-Baked Ramblings of an Untoward Lady. Saturday, November 20, 2010. A Moment In Memory. How do you reconcile murder wrought of bigotry knowing that a person, someone's loved one, has been killed simply because someone else felt that they did not deserve to live simply because of who they were? How do you reconcile the murder of over 179 people. Just in the last year. How can you come to terms with the fact that many more never came to our attention? How is this acceptable? How is this understandable?

The Vibrating Square: January 2011
http://vibratingsquare.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Half-Baked Ramblings of an Untoward Lady. Sunday, January 30, 2011. Cis Privilege Checklist: Clothes. On request of Amanda Forest Vivian over at I'm Somewhere Else. Who did a very good checklist of neurotypical privilege with regards to clothes. I will do the same with regards to cisgender privilege. 8 If I am a child I can be reasonably assured that I will be allowed to dress in a way which is appropriate to my gender. On that note, I can be assured that such a mode of dress exists at all. 9 If I work o...

The Vibrating Square: Burger King and Treating Symptoms
http://vibratingsquare.blogspot.com/2011/03/burger-king-and-treating-symptoms.html
Half-Baked Ramblings of an Untoward Lady. Friday, March 11, 2011. Burger King and Treating Symptoms. The shamrocks on the wall are a symptom. We could rally against them, try to stop them. We certainly shouldn't give our support. Yet, we are a minority and alone we are, as we have been, ignorable. We can not muscle change. We need respect so that when we are grieved others will listen because it is the right thing to do. Some day we'll get there. March 23, 2011 at 10:43 AM. April 11, 2011 at 12:19 PM.

The Vibrating Square: March 2011
http://vibratingsquare.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Half-Baked Ramblings of an Untoward Lady. Wednesday, March 30, 2011. I Took a Shower. Next up: reequilibrating my medication regimen. PS: So, if you were wondering why my blog sometimes goes weeks without being updated. Tuesday, March 15, 2011. I'm often fascinated by bigoted statements which show through when we make statements in support of certain groups of marginalized people. Take, for example, this web-comic (Darwin Carmichael is Going to Hell). That's a pretty messed up message. Now, I can't suppo...

The Vibrating Square: July 2010
http://vibratingsquare.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Half-Baked Ramblings of an Untoward Lady. Friday, July 23, 2010. Jerry Springer on a [Long] Bus. I'm less than four hours from wheels-up on an 80 hour bus trip to Canada. Just yesterday my partner and I got harassed by a city bus operator who yelled back "Do I have to listen to that shit all the way to Palo Alto? Well, this is a lot longer and you bet we're worried about harassment and discrimination both from other passengers and from the bus line. I'm going into another country. You bet I'm nervous.

The Vibrating Square: September 2010
http://vibratingsquare.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Half-Baked Ramblings of an Untoward Lady. Monday, September 27, 2010. Almost every time I try and bring this up I'm met with resistance. I'm told that I should stop trying to police what people say. I'm told that I'm oversensitive. I'm even told that I'm self-righteous. I'm told that they shouldn't have to be "politically correct." But most of all I'm met with anger because whoever I'm calling out "didn't mean it that way.". I could just as easily have written this about transphobic language or racist la...

The Vibrating Square: April 2011
http://vibratingsquare.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Half-Baked Ramblings of an Untoward Lady. Tuesday, April 26, 2011. I need to vent. As many of you may be aware another trans woman was brutally beaten. While employees and other patrons stood around watching and laughing. One of the employees filmed the incident and posted it to youtube, apparently "for the lulz.". I read the Bilerico story. On the topic. I read some of the comments. Can I remind people of one fact here? MCDONALD'S HAS SECURITY CAMERAS! Wednesday, April 13, 2011. I'm a Level 32 Autistic.

The Vibrating Square: I'm a Level 32 Autistic
http://vibratingsquare.blogspot.com/2011/04/im-level-32-autistic.html
Half-Baked Ramblings of an Untoward Lady. Wednesday, April 13, 2011. I'm a Level 32 Autistic. So, I was taking Simon Barron-Cohen's Autism Quotient test for giggles and a mischievous thought crossed my extreme-male brain. In response to this question:. When I was young, I used to enjoy playing games involving pretending with other children. Something tells me this guy's never heard of Dungeons and Dragons. I find it very easy to play games with children that involve pretending. I scored 32, by the way).

SQUARE 8: Squawk about disability and society. Wednesday, July 29, 2009. The ever-expanding list of neurotypical privilege. This is the complete list collected so far from comments to this. Post I will continue to add to this as further privileges are submitted. This list will have a permanent link in the sidebar to make it easy to find. If I have left out your contribution, this was not intentional, and will be corrected if you let me know. Thanks again to all who have worked on this so far! Teaching a ...
