sofiaviolet: MS Paint person with fist raised, with text: "<strong>fight all the oppressions!</strong>" (fight all the oppressions!)
[personal profile] thingswithwings: some things to think about in this VVC discussion
The links in this post will almost invariably go to posts and comments that contain (or are right next to) a lot of ablism, cissexism, dismissal of peoples' disabilities, and general dismissal of social justice efforts. If you're feeling worn out by this conversation or unable to look at any more posts/comments of that nature, my recommendation is not to click. And not to read this post, perhaps. In addition to discussion of that stuff, this post also contains discussion of triggers for things like rape and violence. If you've run out of spoons for this debate, please scroll on by: I completely understand if you don't feel up to reading this. Especially as it's rather extravagantly tl;dr.

further excerpts and my thoughts on them )

And by that, I mean I Organized All The Books. Next step is to get them into LibraryThing.

Ellie suggests that the best place to hole up during the zombie apocalypse is a strip mall with a home improvement store and a Super WalMart that share an interior wall. Then you have materials for fortifications from the home improvement store, plus food and guns from WalMart. Just knock a hole through the interior wall and you're golden.

But if you have to choose, pick the WalMart and use random merchandise to block the doors. Ellie suggests filling shopping carts with slashed-open diapers and watering them to create a kind of sandbag thing.
