ratcreature: headdesk (headdesk)
So while sorting through some stuff I found a copy of a mix CD, and I was fairly certain that it is not a private mix, but was done by either a project, zine or festival or something like that on the topic of violence against women, queer and minority women in particular, and self-defense. It had 28 tracks with a mix of short spoken pieces (relating experiencing violence and of self-defense tips and strategies), and music in different styles and its title (at least according to the labelling on mine) was "I'm Scary Not Scared" but I didn't have a track listing and I had no idea who all the artists were. After wasting almost half an hour of my life on google it turns out that the actual title of the CD is "Free to Fight!" *headdesk* It was released on Candy-Ass Records.

On the upside I found that not only all the tracks but also the accompanying zine/booklet are available online under a CC license here these days, so I could just download the booklet pdf. BTW you should check it out if you like garage punk (though there's rap and folk music on it also), and dubious musical quality aside, for some reason the "Eyes, Knees, Groin, Throat" song (it's track 20 "Target Practice") never fails to have an uplifting effect on me.

So I'm rereading some McKay/Sheppard slash fic, great story overall too, only I stumble over Homophobic!Ford. Now, IIRC when I first read story I didn't take much notice of it, because I hadn't read that much SGA slash at that point, and taken as a characterization in an individual story I can buy it. Some people are homophobic after all, even otherwise nice, likable people. But there are quite a lot of stories portraying Ford like that, and it baffles me. Sometimes it seems to me that in S1 team McKay/Sheppard slash he's like the default token homophobe. And I don't get it, not to mention that it rubs me the wrong way because I rather like Ford. Is there any basis in canon for why this is such a popular choice?? I admit that I have watched most eps just once (I don't rewatch a lot in general), so I might have missed some huge clue leading so many to arrive at Homophobic!Ford, but if this is purely a fanon thing, it's definitely one I could do without.
