misscamUgh, ever had one of those 'can't hold down anything, not even water' kind of sicks? I am. Must've eaten something that very much didn't agree with me. Just hope I don't get dehydrated or something silly while waiting for it to settle down. Ugh.
On the topic of ugh: Republican Ohio state legislator John Adams of Sidney, has submitted a bill that would require a woman to obtain the permission of the man who impregnated her before she could receive abortion services.
Let me get this straight. I generally think it's a good idea that in case of a pregnancy, the two parties involved talk to each other. Ideally, it should be a joint decision. However, there are situations where that might not possible. Ultimately, a woman's will trumps the father's. I'm sorry, but it does. Because it's her body. Forcing her to carry a fetus to term against her will is just... I have no words. Don't even get me started on the bit about rape in there. I don't have the energy for that particular rage today.
I see Russell T. Davis was interviewed about reactions to Torchwood's Children of Earth. Comments get into it, as one might expect.
Also, RTD ships Winchester brothers, it seems.
Meanwhile, the new Star Trek movie led to a number of things and now a group would like the next one to include Kirk/Spock - in the name of equality.
However, not all get behind this idea and don't like that one ship is focused on and set up as the One That Would Represent Equality. It would also mean breaking up Spock and Uhura, and that doesn't go down well with everyone.
I must admit, I kinda found this movement (as they call themselves) tacky. It comes across way more 'we find this pairing hot, please stick it in the movie!' than 'hey, how about some representation of same sex couples that isn't made of fail?' The latter, I'm totally behind. The first is way more fannish entitlement. And shrouding that in a call for equality? I find that tacky, I do. (Plus, starting it with a version of 'I know this isn't really allowed, but I am going to post anyway'? Does not endear me.)
Also being talked about here and here.
Cam and Saz discuss Spock and Uhura, shallow, mushed ship names, RTD's brain and the Internet being for porn:
lotus79: first there was shipping, and then there was wank
misscam: yes
misscam: I haven't watched the movie, but in my totally shallow opinion, Spock and Uhura looks hot
lotus79: heh
lotus79: I haven't really looked at pics so I wouldn't know
misscam: (supplies a few googled images)
lotus79: aww, agreed that's rather sweet
misscam: the shallows have it!
misscam: damn, I should really watch that movie and see if it is hot
lotus79: lol. me too
misscam: sadly it's out of theatres and not out on DVD until November
(...)
misscam: I hope Spock/Uhura doesn't have some silly ship name
misscam: you know, I saw someone call Adama/Roslin 'Rodama' the other day. It was like claws down the backboard of my fannish soul
lotus79: *pats*
lotus79: I have actually heard that one a fair bit
misscam: nooooooooooooo
misscam: where?
lotus79: not sure where. FFN I expect
misscam: the pit of voles and mushed ship names
misscam: I'm trying to figure out why it annoys me so. Apart from sounding utterly inane 99% of the time, anyway
misscam: I think it's because it reduces two induviduals to some sort of blob together. Like they have no identity outside the relationship
lotus79: that too, yeh
lotus79: I don't call me and Luke Lurah or Suke (rofl, btw!) or Turandy
misscam: I love mah ships, but I love them for being individual people trying to work a relationship with who they are, dammit
lotus79: hey we could be "Trandy" Sounds kinda like trendy. But maybe too much like tranny
misscam: Suke. Snooort
misscam: you should put it on your doorbell
misscam: my name doesn't lend itself to any funny mushed ship names, I think. Depends who I'd hook up with, of course
lotus79: I just suggested it to Luke and he didn't seem impressed
misscam: he doesn't understand that mushed ship names proves how Twu Wub it is
lotus79: maybe he does and is commitment shy?
misscam: then you need to push him into it, clearly. That's what Dr. Phil would tell you
lotus79: he would?
misscam: he was doing some blah blah on make people face their fears
misscam: you know, watching him while being sick makes it all come up so much faster
lotus79: rofl
(...)
misscam: (links to RTD interview from above)
lotus79: oh dear. Did Rusty just admit he was into Wincest?
misscam: yes
lotus79: lol
lotus79: this amuses me rather a lot
misscam: RTD's brain: The Wincest Smut Archives
misscam: I guess Internet Petition for him to take over the show will soon follow
misscam: Internet Democracy: Anything that offers possibilities of porn gets petitions
lotus79: *sings rendition of 'the internet is for porn'*
misscam: oh no now it's stuck in my head. And cows are dancing to it
