this afternoon-evening but at some point there is a school thing for my son, but I can't find the paperwork, so I'll have to call this morning when they open to see when it takes place. I can't wait to get my haircut on wednesday, and for some reason, still can't get my girl to go through her clothes so we know what we need to buy her for the beginning of the school year. (sigh) well you kids have a good monday, I'm gonna hopefully get going on a new pic with dragons, knights, benedict and jensen.


*this not was taken during Miley Cyrus performance at VMA's as tweeted, but let's allow it to stand hereafter for the general audience reaction!
Auctioning the Fake Ruby and Fake Sam paintings for charity from the SPN episode: The French Mistake



btw, Sam went for 1300 and Ruby for 700

And just because I find this gif of Misha walking with megaphone very alluring

I think it's safe to say Miley did not grow up in a particular culture or environment where twerking was common. I also think it's safe to say that she is putting on this "twerking persona" (for lack of a better phrase) as a way to make money. It's part of her schtick now, and it wasn't before. That is why it is offensive, because this is a portrayal she has the privilege of putting on and taking off; that, as a white woman, it is celebrated when she puts it on, and she does nothing to acknowledge this; and that she is harnessing pieces of an oppressed and stigmatized culture in order to make money for herself and feed her own ego. What she's doing is the definition of exploitation.
