Yeah, it's time for one of them sharing posts again... :-) Next post is going to be about Midsummer. ;-) And after that I have some serious issues I need to get down in words. But first! Strap in and lets go!

As you might remember I visited the swedish festival Sweden Rock! And it was amazing. I went there to see Mötley Crüe. And even though they got really bad criticism for their performance, I really liked it. It was amazing!

Sorry about the quality. I just wanted to share that to me was an AMAZING night! I know they aren’t perfect, but they’re good at catching the audience, and it was amazing to see them live, it really was.

And onwards!

Not that long ago, I discovered this, which I found really interesting. You’re short on money? You need a computer? I give you Chip, a computer you can get for 9$. I admit, I’m curious. It’s not that much money, so maybe I should get one? To have as backup? I bet peting73, who is a serious computer geek, would find it really cool to have and poke around with as well. Decisions decisions…

Chip 9$ Computer - Kickstarter

They’ve reached their goal and some, so it’s ready and available to order… *considers*

Next subject!

I kinda love steinsgrrl for sharing this with me. I keep reading all the comments and stories shared on this Reddit page, and it’s SO FREEING, my female friends! My vagina is not abnormal or strange in anyway! There are vaginas that are stranger than mine! NOTHING IS ABNORMAL! X-D Also, guys. You should read this. Just to see what we’re going through on an everyday basis. ;-)

Reddit: Girls and their vaginas

YouTube is a strange and wonderful place… You dip your toe in and you never know where you end up. Here’s some various stuff I’ve found on YouTube or that are connected to YouTube in one way or another.

This short just about broke my heart. The ending especially when you REALLY get what the little short is about… Bring your tissues, folks!

There’s a swedish guy from refugee parents who live in Sweden and he’s… blunt would be to kind a word. But he has some really interesting views on Sweden and our culture, our politics, our social safety net, our immigrants and refugees… Pretty much hot the climate is in Sweden (and I’m not talking about the weather). Not all his vids are in swedish, although most are. Those that are, like this one, has subtitles. And I’ve checked, their good and has the correct translation.

Here’s an article with an added trailer on YouTube about how it is to come out of the closet as a MtF transgender when you’re quite young. This girl did so on YouTube and found a supportive community there. And a movie-maker saw her and she got a role in a movie that tells the story how it is to be a transgender MtF girl. Of course there’s more to it than that, it’s a good article, but it ends with a role in a movie for her. The trailer is in the article, and I will admit I am very curious at the movie, Boy Meets Girl! It looks really good!

Boy Meets Girl - Movie and the story

Right and change of subject again! You still with me? You’re doing good! *lol*

If you read my posts you know I absolutly HATE Fifty Shades of Grey. I hate Twilight to, but that’s nothing compared to how much I hate Fifty Shades of Grey. And I’ve READ THEM! ALL THREE!!!

Anyway, here’s some articles and vids that I hope will make you think twice about reading them…

Unless you’ve lived under a rock, you’d know there’s abuse in these books.

Here’s an article that, like so many others, points out where and how the abuse shows itself in the books:

There Are NO Grey Areas When Defending Abuse

And yes, she’s rewriting her books from Grey’s perspective… yeah… *cough* Here’s The Guardian’s reaction to that:

Fifty Shades of 'nope': we don't need a reboot from the man's perspective

Now to two vids. It’s both terrifying and interesting to see these. The movie comes with it’s own set of concerns and weirdness. Everything wrong, obviously shows everything wrong with 50 Shades. Abuse and all.

But what I really liked was the Film Theory. Where they compare Christian Grey to the leader of a cult. How Grey follows the same steps pretty much. Now that was terrifying. And girls WANT a man like this? WTF?

And to end this LOOOONG post, let’s have some feel good after that, yeah?

These two vids I am watching when I need a pick me up after a long or bad day. :-) They never fail to make me smile! I hope they will do the same to you.

( Old Men Grooving... )

Britians got talent just never fail to deliver. *grins* There’s more vids with these old guys, btw. They made it all the way to the finals!

And lastly I stumbled on THIS article about a son that made a special personal ad for his mom… REALLY special!

( Looking for Adam... )

And that’s it! Having finished that (finally!), I will now go do something useful... ;-)

Figured it was time for another pimp-post or whatever you wanna call them. There's just to many fun stuff to look at online, and then I feel the urge to share it. Sure, I retweet or replurk as well, but to collect it in one big post just appeals to me. Bear with me.

Lately, since it's had it's opening (on Valentines Day, wth?) I've seen a lot of stuff and read a lot of stuff about 50 Shades of Grey, the infamous Twilight fanfic... (in case you didn't know it was a Twilight fanfic...)

And OK, I admit. I read the first book. And yes, I do enjoy some BDSM in the bedroom. So hence it made me curious. But what I read? That was NOT BDSM! Oh HELL to the no! That was abuse. Plain and simple. :-/

So ever since I've been following the twitter account @50shadesabuse. Mostly I jus feel sorry for those who have gone through emotional abuse and is meet with this fail-tastic book that makes their experience into romance... *shakes head*

Prepare for shitload of links about 50 Shades of Grey Fail Abuse.... :-P

This is a short and to the point piece from The Independent UK which... I like because it IS to the point AND has actually lines from the book in the text/graphics. And no, they aren't made up. They ARE from the book.

Fifty Shades of Grey: It doesn't take a genius to realise that Christian Grey is a domestic abuser

This was absolutly brilliant. Because like it or not, 50 Shades of Grey does have fans. A shitload of them. And they are defending book and movie. It's easy to let the blood run hot in such a discussion, especialy if you or a close one to you have experienced mental abuse. So this is a brilliant piece to go to for advice on HOW to take the discussion with them fans. Calmly. Rational. And showing the flaw in their logic.

Let’s talk about 50 Shades in a calm and rational way

And this? This was also interesting. I'd like to know how many you got right if you haven't read the books... I think that would be quite interesting to know. ;-) Care to share?

Can You Tell The Difference Between Christian Grey And A Serial Killer?

And this? This just disturbed me. I mean, seriously? WTH? If you run into a guy like this... RUUUUN!!! Geezes... The poor girl in the interview both disturbed me and made me so achingly sad for her... :-/

Real-Life Christian Grey Claims To Have 'Converted' 350 Women To BDSM

This is one of the best reviews I've read. Because the reviewer walked into the movie theaters knowing NOTHING about 50 Shades of Grey, and the shock after watching it is so so so obvious in her review. And people think this is romance... WTH?

Rosie Reviews: Fifty Shades of Grey - Rosie Waterland expected the whole movie to be a bit of a cheesy laugh. Instead she walked out of the cinema on the verge of tears.

This is a professional morning show host giving a review of 50 Shades of Grey, and... she isn't holding back, put it that way. DAMN she's mean! X-D I kinda love it! And she brings up valid points to. :-)

( Lisa Wilkinson names Fifty Shades of Grey worst movie I've ever seen  )

These are so so so hilarious! Sometimes you can find true gold on Imgur. X-D And the even more hilarious thing is that the flaws pointed out in these reviews, and highlighted in an image... are things that ACTUALLY happen in the books! Oh, good lord... X-D

1 star reviews of 50 Shades of Grey on

One might think what with the movie coming up that the actors would be all over the place playing it up to promote the movie, right? Right? Nooooo!!! X-D OH SO WRONG! I guess they're trying, but they just look uncomfortable together! And as rumors go, apparently they had to reshoot the sex-scenes since they were far from hot. HA HA HA HA!!! X-D I should feel sorry for them, I really should... But they signed up for it. :-D

50 Shades of [Sigh]: The Disastrous 50 Shades of Grey Press Tour

This is a really good piece by the people behind the mentioned twitter account. They list various reasons why the books can be dagnerous and also what Christian does in the books. What makes him an abusive man and why is it dangerous to make that look romantic.

The powerful effect fiction can have on reality

This piece is really interesting because it looks at the interactions between Ana and Christian in 50 Shades through the law. Legally, who should be in the handcuffs? Really?

Fifty Shades of Grey: what BDSM enthusiasts think

When a blog called Everyday Victim Blaming writes a post about 50 Shades of Grey and is less than kind about it? You know something is seriously wrong..

Domestic Violence in 50 Shades of Grey

The site Rape Crisis also makes a post talking about the dangersou with 50 Shades of Grey should tell you lot something. And it's a really good piece to, going through the whole books. It's really eyeopening.

"Fifty Shades of Grey" Saviour of relationships or abusers handbook?

Yet another piece discussing how dangerous men like Christian Grey is. The amount of articles, blogg posts, protests at screenings should tell you something. So yeah, it's important to spread this I feel.

A Charming Psycho Is Still A Psycho: Why 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Is Sending Women The Wrong Message

Also, whoever did this, THANK YOU SO MUCH for ruining my childhood! FUCK! Even Frozen who I have to watch several times a week what with Alexandra loving it. GAWD DAMMIT!

50 Shades of Disney . . . OMG

TLDR, if you don't wanna check all the above, than at least check out this vid:

This vid, one of my favorites I've seen actually, combines the brilliant speech that the US President, Barak Obama, held aginst abuse towards women. It combines his speech with cuts from the movie... that interestingly enough fits so very very well with the speech... while trying to make it look hot. URGH! But yeah, if you don't have the energy to check ANY other link, than this is it. Really.

And now I will shut up about the subject. At least for a long time ahead. Unless you follow me on Twitter, that is... :-P
