This stuff kicks ass.

ABLC has moved to The Raw Story. [updated!]

Posted on April 2, 2012 by | 4 Comments

Oyez! Oyez! The RSS Feed for ABLC at The Raw Story is here: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/category/angry-black-lady/feed/. Hopefully I’ll get a button of some sort soon.

All of the archives will remain here for the time being, but all new content will be at The Raw Story at angryblacklady.rawstory.com. The URL is not working quite yet (it should be up this evening), so for now you can find our new posts by clicking this link or by heading to the front page and looking for the ABLC tab at the top.

Huzzah!

UPDATE: The URL is live! Click here.  As a result of my move, all  comments on this blog are being moderated.

On The Hunger Games and general female badassery.

Posted on March 28, 2012 by | 9 Comments

We saw The Hunger Games on Sunday — and oh my God.

That’s kind of the sum total of my review, because, dudes: Oh my God! So good!

Sosososososo good!

Note: More images of badass women, after the jump. Jump, dudes! 

Ok, there could have been a few fewer hand-held close-ups — but mostly they worked. And ok, Gale should have somehow been given a few more minutes to establish just how close that relationship is. And I’m not sure Lenny Kravitz was really meant to act.

But other than that? OH MY GOD. (And come on come on, the 12 of you who are silly enough to have any Josh Hutcherson [Peeta] hate. He.was.perfect. Haterz to the left! Done).

Plus, bonus: We didn’t go on our own. We brought the boy (who got me into the books in the first place) and one of his closest friends — two seventh grade boys absolutely determined to see a girl with a bow kick some serious ass on opening weekend. They loved it. LOVED it. The boy’s one critique? “Jennifer Lawrence was great and everything – I just wish Katniss could have been even fiercer, somehow.”

My Uterus is Mine — NOT YOURS.

Posted on March 21, 2012 by | 5 Comments

This is circulating on the Facespace and I love it so hard, I want to take it out back and get it pregnant — and then let it decide whether or not to keep the baby.

Okay, that got away from me a little, but STILL:

You’re welcome.

Meryl Streep Introduces the Amazing SOS Hillary Clinton at Women in the World 2012

Posted on March 14, 2012 by | 2 Comments

Meryl Streep is one of the premier actors of our time, and she has the Oscars to prove it.  However, if you ask her who inspires her, one of the woman she lists most likely would be Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.  In the video below, Streep introduces SOS Clinton at Women in the World 2012 and recounts the effect SOS Clinton has had worldwide.  There are brave women across the globe who wouldn’t be alive today if it weren’t for SOS Clinton.  I was touched, inspired, and proud to be a woman as I watched this video.  Women’s rights are human rights, indeed.  h/t @InlawsOutlaws on teh Twitter Machine.

Cheeky Ohio Democratic Senator and her Viagra Bill

Posted on March 11, 2012 by | 3 Comments

I’m loving this new game of Bill/Counter-Bill that seems to be trending in legislatures nationwide, as Republicans introduce draconian Handmaids-Tale-esque  laws and Democrats return fire with purposefully absurd bills.  These bills are introduced, of course, to highlight the absurdity of the current legislative war that Republicans are waging against women.

We’ve seen a “no sperm is sacred” bill in Oklahoma ; a bill banning vasectomies in Georgia; and a rectal amendment bill in Virginia, among others.

Well, Ohio has thrown its whimsical hat into the ring with a bill that would regulate men’s access to erectile dysfunction drugs like Cialis and Viagra: Continue reading →

The Contraception/Slut Prophecy

Posted on February 29, 2012 by | 14 Comments

Sandra Fluke is the Georgetown law student who was supposed to testify at the contraception hearing a few weeks ago but was prevented from doing so. And John Cole is, apparently, psychic:

Me, yesterday, on the wingnut response to Sandra Fluke’s testimony:

C’mon, wingnuts, quit nancying around and just call them sluts.

Limbaugh, today:

Welcoming our gobsmacking (if mildly creepy) overlords.

Posted on February 22, 2012 by | 6 Comments

Back when I was a wee lass and imagining what the future would be like, I think I didn’t think about it very hard. Flying cars, à la the Jetsons? Seemed a mite impractical. Food-in-a-pill? Not very appealing. And all those sleek and pointy fashions we were going to be wearing surely would get boring after awhile.

But I will tell you one thing: I never in a million years thought that we might be producing body parts via office equipment.

3D printing has got to be one of the most gobsmacking things to emerge in the last decade, just on sheer cool factor alone. Below you’ll find a video of folks printing out a wrench. A wrench! From a printer!

But wrenches, and toys, and various other useful items and gee-gaws absolutely pale in comparison to two things that floated across my eyeballs in the past couple of days:

  1. A 3D printed jaw.
  2. 3D printed human tissue.
