Currently at both 3 and 9 o'clock....

*tease*

So on Friday, I finally saw the almost-finished cover for SILVER ON THE ROAD. And I had some nitpicks, because, well, ARTISTS, she said in mock disgust. But overall? I kind of fucking love it.



But it's not Officially Finished Yet.  So I can't show it to anyone.

*flails and dies a little*

argh

Actual conversation tonight, only slightly paraphrased.


Woman: this treatment of women in that advertising campaign bothers me.

Men: well, it doesn't bother me.

Woman: ...yeah, that's kind of missing the point of "it bothers those actually affected." What we hear is "it didn't bother me so if it bothers you that's your problem," which is a notable lack of empathy and actually listening to us.

Men: Why are you picking on me? why are you being so sensitive? Aren't we allowed to have our opinions about what affects you?
