K Tempest Tumbles

I'm K. Tempest Bradford, a writer, blogger, tech geek, and all around nerd. I'm such a big science fiction/fantasy/speculative fiction fan that I even write it (I know, pretty hard core!).

I have a non-Tumblr blog and that's where the majority of my long-form posts go. This blog is for my more fannish activities, link sharing, and squeeness.

But here’s the thing about rights. They’re not actually supposed to be voted on. That’s why they’re called rights.

Rachel Maddow owns Republican pundit who says women don’t actually make less money than men. 

This was pretty beautiful. (If you’re wondering what the president’s done for equal pay, Lilly Ledbetter can tell you.)

You know what I wish that people would say more in these conversations? Cite your sources. That Republican dude kept saying “No, you’re wrong, women make more than men” and I wanted him to say where he gets that information. Anyone can throw out any number anytime. Cite. Your damn. Sources.

Politifact, you are fired. You are a mess. You are fired. You are undermining the definition of the word ‘fact’ in the English language by pretending to it in your name. The English language wants its word back. You are an embarrassment. You sully the reputation of anyone who cites you as an authority on factishness, let alone fact. You are fired.
Rachel Maddow after Politifact rates President Obama’s SOTU statement, “In the last twenty two months businesses have created more than three million jobs. Last year they created the most jobs since 2005.” half true.  (via kileyrae)

Thank goodness they’re giving Melissa her own show. I don’t like it when she subs for Rachel, but she’s obviously smart and awesome. I think the TRMS writing just does not suit her personal style. When Chris Hayes subs he does much better because he’s got the same kind of smart snark vibe Rachel has. Melissa is more the straight shooting smart type.

that this exists is the best new thing in the world. ::follows::
