TICTH complementarianism and the biological reductionism it induces in people. My vagina doesn't have an impact on my personality and neither does it make my gender female by default, ffs*.
*my gender is female, but not because my biological sex just so happens to match

(after listening to a certain female relative go on and on.)
Maybe the reason you have so many damn problems with most of your female relatives and ALL of your female friends is that, given the choice between contest and camaraderie, you pick the damn contest every damn time.
If you gave the women in your life 1/10 of the respect, compassion, and support that you give, oh, the Comcast guy, we would fall down on the floor and never stop sobbing from astonished gratitude. If all you care about is who's Alpha, life is gonna get pretty damn lonely.

To a couple fuckwits in RL who fortunately don't have a clue how I feel about them:
Yes, darling I understand you are Oh So Smart and a writer. I am just a hack editor whose goal in life is to destroy your brilliant words. And even worse I haven't taught in a classroom. Well, sweetie, despite those sad shortcomings, I do happen to have a clue how to do my job. You do not actually need to recommend that I should do x before y. Believe it or not even dim little bulb that I am I found that stupendously obvious. Oh yes and the cutsie notes whenever you turn in work reminding me of the related pieces, yeah honey I do this fulltime and have for a couple months now. I know them by now.
P.S. if you're so brilliant, you might try learning to use a computer. Most of our generation has.
Oh and while I I'm here, you sir can stop the fatherly act. Yes, you're old enough to be my dad, I am fully aware of that, but I don't really care. You can stop touching me, stop patronizing me, and try treating me like a colleague albeit a junior one.
Thanks,
Lots of love

I'd like to add to that the joys of being a mom who works nights while the kids go to school so damn early. Why can't they start school at noon? it's so much more civilized.

TICTH those 'worship leaders' who think it's OK to drown out every attempt at conversation before the service, by practising with the amp turned up. Those worship leaders whose egos are so large, they have their own gravitational fields. Those who - in their arrogance - presume to intersperse their vacuous, quasi-musical offerings, with equally vacuous verbal dross. Those who can't tell the difference between self-indulgence, and the Spirit of God. Those that substitute hype for spirituality.... and those who will only sing songs which are so new, the ink hasn't dried on the page.
It is as well for you, that these aren't the "days of Elijah": He'd kick your asses off the stage, and garrotte you with your own guitar strings.
May you spend eternity listening to the sound of your own voice....through other people's ears.

Would be nice if there were neither conversation nor tuning up before the service - so that people could engage in silent prayer and preparation.

TRM, largely I feel your pain and cheer you on, but ...
... TICT a mild charring on the outer shores of hellishness all those congregations who complain that the music before the service is too loud (whatever the volume) whilst also complaining if there is no music before the service.
Congregations who complain that there's no music after the service whilst simultaneously complaining that after service music prevents them from chatting.
Congregations who cannot decide if they want to talk, run around, contemplate, listen to music, or do goodness knows what before/after services.
All who are unable to distinguish "my personal preference" from "acceptable and appropriate corporate worship".
All who think that 'worship' is just the bit with the music, or indeed the bit that happens on Sunday.
Oh, and people who think "These are the days of Elijah" is either good or new.
For the avoidance of doubt, with the exception of the last one, a little bit, none of the above are a dig, just a jumping off point to clear my own chest.

Anyone who wants to be quiet and pray before the service at church should be able to do it no matter what is going on around them. But if you want to have a space where you can pretend no one else is there, why bother leaving your house and coming to church?

All you had to do was go round the corner on your lunch break and collect the printed leaflets and take them to choir last week.
So you collected them today. A week after you said you would. Those leaflets aren't going to sell many tickets SITTING IN THE OUT TRAY AT THE FUCKING PRINTERS.
And you made me and the guy look bad, when we worked hard. Colour me peeved.

Right after the quakes we had Kia Kaha (stand strong) plastered everywhere, then posters of grinning people who decided to stay here, despite the continuing aftershocks and living conditions, now we have a series that say, "it's alright to feel ... lucky/happy/frustrated/sad etc.
If the Council concentrated on fixing the roads, fixing it's wrecked social housing, mediating with insurance companies and distraught home owners it would do more to alleviate frustration and despair than bloody posters. Stupid prats!

I have spent two-thirds of the working day checking internally and then explaining why I can't do something a client asked me to do. "Because I don't want to" and "because I said so" not being sufficiently convincing reasons.
Doing the actual thing, if it was actually a good idea, would probably have taken about half an hour.
Other things that need doing haven't got done while I spend time explaining why I'm not doing something.
