People I Sleep With
thepeacockangel:
Keep being like “Let me be your vibrator” or “after me you won’t need that hitachi” and it’s like “Bitch, please unless you have super powers you will never live up to the magic wand”
A vibrator cannot nibble on your earlobe.

It’s not that Republican logic is inconsistent. They’ve been clear all along that anything that liberates women from traditional gender roles is bad for families. If that is the train of thought you are shoveling coal into as it plows off the tracks running down all common sense, then yes, “birth control = teen mothers, single parent households, whatever other supposedly bad shit...

FedEx gives service alerts in case of natural disasters, etc. There is one right now for Mardi Gras. This is hilarious to me. I feel like we should measure all parties by their ability to interrupt FedEx deliveries.

“Leroy Jenkins” is still funny. Just so you know. It might be even funnier because I don’t know much about World of Warcraft.
dadaoist asked: Yes, there must be something about the "ring" nature of the DSK prostitution. I don't know the details, but from what I can gather, France is permissive about individual prostitution, but it's not legal to organize it (ie, pimps, brothels, etc). There might be some sort of trafficking angle as well.

M got me new mid-market brand wiper blades for Valentine’s Day. This is pretty thrilling, actually. I was like, “They don’t even make a noise!” in the same tone of voice that I feel like women in diamond commercials say, “It’s beautiful!”

The Peacock Angel a.k.a. Madeira, who identifies as a genderfluid femme.
I had experienced dysphoria before I came across Madeira’s blog, but I always ignored it. There were many aspects that I loved about being female — I liked wearing makeup, cute shoes, dressing up,…
D’awww. I feel warm fuzzies too!
Tumblr ate all of my old posts
It banned me, and then unbanned me, and when I got back I discovered a spambot had taken over my account which is why they banned me, and now all my old posts are gone. Dammit.
"Everything happens for a reason"?

I love how that can be a promise - or, though most people forget, a threat.
One's Enough Misery

Me: “Poly isn’t swinging. Swingers are mostly just after additional sex. Poly people believe that you can actually be in love with more than one person at once.”
Friend: “I don’t know if I could handle that. There’s so much misery from being actually in love with just one person at a time.”
I had this conversation this morning, and have been thinking about it off an on since. It’s...

Male privilege is never having to consider the possibility that, confronted by a lifetime full of women expressing anger at one’s behavior, it might not be that they hate all men. It might be that they just hate you.
“Really, conservatives just hate women. They resent the fact that we work, go to...”

YES. YES YES YES.

Yep. And it’s one of the fastest ways to earn the LaT Side-Eye.

Last year, there was an outcry over a YA anthology that was prohibiting same-sex stories. There were a LOT of posts about it on the internet. There were a lot of authors who got up in arms and dropped out of not only that anthology, but an anthology being edited by the same editor, an anthology that I was writing for.
In the end, what ended up happening was that the...

bricksandmortarandchewinggum:
I mean this is all semantics but say someone was born in 1965 they’d have kids when they were about 20 (‘85) those kids would be 27 now, not exactly new grads. And that’s the first year AFTER the boomer generation. The majority of people still had/have kids…
The boomers were known for having kids a lot older than 20.

holzmantweed:
Orly Taitz and the birthers sued to keep President Obama off the ballot in Georgia. The President neglected to send anyone to defend against the suit. The judge chided the President for that. Normally, this leads to a default judgement against the defendant, but the Birthers wanted a hearing on the merits of their case.
Big mistake: they should have quit while they were ahead.

Among the world’s democracies,” Professors Law and Versteeg concluded, “constitutional similarity to the United States has clearly gone into free fall. Over the 1960s and 1970s, democratic constitutions as a whole became more similar to the U.S. Constitution, only to reverse course in the 1980s…
