"I hear the jury's still out on science."

I desperately need to see a copy of this, somehow.

I see shit like this all the time at Target, etc, and I guess few people are calling them out on it. At least J.C. Penny got called out on one shirt. Even though, really, it's a drop in the bucket, and a lot of the garbage department stores put out "for girls" is like this. Oh, and don't even bother with the comments section of that article. It's just rage-inducingly stupid.

I've spent a lot of the past two days knitting (finishing the Katamari earmuffs I started over two years ago) and re-watching Arrested Development in the background. The show always cheers me up. Always. Also finishing up the NaruMitsu doujinshi colors I was doing for icons, stuff I started back in college, because I remember working on one during a class I took junior year. Basically a lot of self-pacifying behavior.

Phoenix feels a lot more empty these days. So does my house. Maybe it's just me.

I heard the jury is still out on jury trials.

I liked the little detail that the shirt is 60% off. If a T-shirt about how girls shouldn't bother with school has a retail price of $11.99 and is on sale at 60% off, what is the final price after a 6% sales tax is applied?...

I also liked the special bonus implication that boys are ugly. I keep being astonished by how reliably sexism puts down both sexes.

Boys are either stupid or ugly. Can't win.
