Notes on a 'Scandal': Fitz is the Most Dumpable Man on Television →
Oh, Linda Holmes, this is why I love you. Especially number three. Although I’m not sure if I agree with you re: Liv’s plan, I do agree that Fitz doesn’t get it.

You put your hair up when you want to look your best.
You think its more flattering.
You’re wrong of course.
It’s a draw.

White privilege is thinking that your POC spouse of nearly twenty years has been overreacting and progressively becoming an extremist in terms of challenging oppressive societal norms until your mixed child starts telling you that they’ve had similar experiences because of their skin colour. White privilege is not believing that racism is real until it literally affects the blood of your blood. White privilege is undermining and invalidating your spouse’s struggles despite all the love you might have for them. White privilege is needing a child to tell you about racism to finally start understanding the same struggle an adult has told you about for nearly two decades. And even then, White privilege is telling your kid that they’d be happier “ignoring bigots, and not actively trying to point out racist behaviours”, because of course, it’s my responsibility not to see racism, rather than people’s responsibility NOT to be racists.

Looking for some summer writing fun?
So there’s this writing contest on livejournal that I’ve been participating in for a few years now—LJ Idol. I’ve enjoyed it, primarily because I find that I relish the challenge of writing to a prompt and surviving the weekly vote. If you like getting regular (weekly) writing prompts, have or want to have an LJ account, and want to read what other people are writing, this might be the sort of thing that would interest you. Contestants write in all genres; if you can get it into an LJ post, it can be an entry. I prefer to write non-fiction, but I’ve had success with poems and short fiction pieces as well. Sometimes interesting conversations about writing break out in the community discussion board.
Sign ups have begun for the second “mini-season” (a new thing); we’re limited to 75-100 participants and the entire thing will be over in 3-4 months (as opposed to the usual 250+ contestants and 35+ weeks of a regular season). The FAQ explains a bit about the contest and the out-of-the-norm-but-reasonable $5 donation request (this thing is run by one guy who has a full-time gig); sponsorships are potentially available for folks who don’t have an extra $5 floating around.
My LJ is fourzoas; if you want to see the sorts of things I’ve been writing, you can find some of my pieces from the last round here.
