I Love Charts: Conclusion →
laurenanalogy: ilovecharts: Yesterday we posted a chart to which some people took offense. One person took the time to write us directly with her anger about the chart. I took exception to her tone and disagreed with her assertions and regrettably fell into one of the more simple traps of poor communication, writing a response mostly aimed at the form of the message and not the substance. I...

grrrlvirus: Radical rewrites and revisions of female sexual anatomy, such as Shannon Bell’s exploration of the female phallus (urethral sponge) in Fast Feminism, are essential to deconstructing the sexist, heteronormative and reductive view of women’s genitals as ‘the vagina’. Situating female sexuality as…

coming out means telling you this →
“You can try to explain away my queer sexual identity by making it an issue of sexual abuse. You can try to make me believe that I wouldn’t be this way if he hadn’t touched me. But I know you’re wrong. I liked girls long before the assault. And besides, nothing as beautiful as love could come from something as ugly as what he did to me.”

Things My Dad Does that Irritate Me, Redux
^all you really need to see, me bitching after the jump #1 - Over securing our desktop. There is so much bullshit on there that he doesn’t even understand or know how to deal with that I can’t download fucking adobe reader! And he takes it personally when I question the need for all of it in the first place. Maybe I’m naive, but if you use secure websites and common sense...

And It's Done
Christmas 2011, for most intents and purposes, is officially over. The customary “War on Christmas” rhetoric will be buried until next year when it is painfully resurrected, stitched together, and sent out to attack tired hordes of shoppers. I got online thinking I would write a long, sobby post about God and religion. Chris and I (and Bonnie and Dad) had a long conversation about...
