   Dear Santa:

   Please bring me a “Smash the Patriarchy” cute kitten shirt for Christmas.

   If you comply, I will consider refraining from representing the elves in their class action suit against you. (But I am still referring them to the ACLU.)

   Yours,
   HWA Vengeance, Esq.

   Dear Santa:
   Please bring me Twisty for christmas. Or… at least a book by her.
   Or a taco that she has prepared.
   Sincerely,
   Roozdawg

   Twisty, do you read the comic xkcd.com? You might like this one/.

   That is one cool logo.

   That reminds me — I bought a gift certificate to [Local Taco Joint] for my darling, and now I have to remember where I put it. Thanks, roozen!

   Maybe I should go get tacos for lunch. I’ve already got kittens.

   Octopod, that rocked. Thanks for sharing!

   Also: Kitten-With-A-Pickaxe would be an awesome name for a punk band. Just saying.

   Kittens for lunch?! Wow, even I’m not that bitter.

   Oh.

   Nev-er mind.

   Kitten tacos, though. Hmm.

    Oh no it wouldn’t Cannibal-femme. You *know* how they be dressed.

    Hello! I’m a former lurker, but I’m ready to join in the blaming. :-)

    cocoschomco’s post reminded me of a line that I almost just wrote in a term paper, but thought better of:

    “Reading Butler and Gates and rereading Marx and Foucault has fanned the flames of my nausea at the white patriarchy.”

    I burn with nausea!

    Pony: point granted. I admit I was thinking about blood-spattered roomy fauxfurry suits with nifty hidden weaponry pockets, but that’s because I spend too much time wallowing in my own brain.

    P.S.: I haven’t mentioned how much I appreciate the way you share your rage, but I truly do.

    I love the kitten, but I think she’s using the wrong tool–should not she be weilding a sledgehammer instead of a pickaxe? The pickaxe certainly has more a connotation of finesse in smashery. Perhaps she’s prising the patriarchy apart stone by stone. I suppose “Prise the Patriarchy!” is not such a good slogan.

    Also, kittens don’t have thumbs.

    Ha! Perhaps there’s a need for thumbless work-gloves for tool-weilding kittens . . .
