Hello guys!

I've been feeling better. My stomach pain has eased up. I've been sleeping all day because the pain kept me up last night and I was having trouble breathing, but everything seems to be fine for the moment. I just had a cup of orange juice and I don't feel as sluggish as I did just an hour ago.

I was reading some of the blogs on my Wordpress account yesterday and I saw one questioning whether superheroes are the new gods. I don't have an particular thoughts on that per se, but I noticed that on the article comments there were a lot of men complaining about the author's thoughts on sexism in the genre.

I noticed that some men seem to have a knee jerk reaction to claims of sexism. I thought the author had a point, you know? But a lot of the commenters we're missing that.

Anyway I just read this article on women in science fiction. Now you guys know I love a good romance novel. Why is it that that romance is seen as inherently bad thing?

Idk. I'm still smarting from my niece dissing my choice of reading. She told me I read nasty books. LMAO really? I have to wonder who taught her that.

So I have a sort of question for you guys.

You know how celebrities have their certain things they stand for? Like Angelina Jolie and her causes or Eva Longoria and the Latino community. Basically I mean like something that you feel passionately about. What's your cause?

I was thinking about this as I took a bath the other day. I think mine would be:

Feminism, Mental Health, and Education. Of course there are other things I care about, but I feel very passionately about these particular things. What about you? What do you feel passionate about?
