Friday Videos are Really Pretty Badass

An image of a VHS cassette with a label that reads FRIDAY VIDEOS Smart Bitches Ep. 21 against a pink crosshatch backgroundCW/TW – carnivore being a carnivore on camera in this video with gore, blood, hunting, dead animals.

I can’t look at this video without thinking of Shelly Laurenston, honestly.

I already love how, if I’m in the mood for some unhinged, violent, sexy, emotional, and funny paranormal romance, I can find any of Laurenston’s books and have a grand old time. I also love that beneath the mayhem are some serious and thoughtful questions for me:

  • Call of Crows: I love that the Crows represent both rage at injustice and bone-deep acceptance. Who are my crows? Who are the women who always have my back, and for which of my friends can I be more of a crow?
  • Shifter Panda!: What am I worried about that I really don’t need to think about? Why aren’t I spending more time in a tree, napping and eating snacks? (I don’t think I can digest bamboo, alas.)
  • The Honey Badger Chronicles: “Where can I be more fearlessly, ferociously unabashed about taking care of myself? When can I more obviously, and fiercely not give a shit?”

So while this is a Friday Videos post, it’s also a “I love Shelly Laurenston’s writing” post, which isn’t exactly news around here.

…I think it might be time for a re-read.

So, video?

YES VIDEO.

A classic!

Do you remember The Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger, with original narration by Randall? 

Of course you do. “The honey badger don’t give a shit. It just takes what it wants.”

May you give far, far fewer shits this weekend, and don’t let anyone fuck with you, no matter how venomous they are.

    Yesss I do remember this one! Honey badger don’t care! Honey badger is an icon, a legend and she is the moment.

    I’ll take this as my sign to try this author again, now that I’m a few years older and fresh out of shits to give about so so many things.
