January 2011
Wait, why is my Nea out of battery power so fast? So much for starting the New Year with a bang.

last gross thought of the new year
radicallyhottoff: can you do a diabetes test with menstrual blood? so you don’t have to prick your finger?  This is a really interesting question!!!

Aaaa! What’s happening with Twitter? Why are my tweets not getting through? Where is the Fail Whale? I’m so confused! Moreover, I’m still hosting #steampunkchat and I need to close it!

Could Y'all do me a favor?
ouyangdan: If you reblog something that I have put up (and I can usually tell, especially if it has the name of my tumblr in the title…), could you Not Delete my name, commentary, captions, things I’ve added? It just boggles me why people do this, and yet… there it is. Perhaps I am too sensitive, and not ready to be back online full time yet, but jeebuz. Have a little respect for people. I know...

Does straight porn show more anal and oral sex... →
Cursory observation of figleaf’s, but now I’m quite curious. I don’t consume porn much (I debated buying Bondage Fairies when I was at Venus Envy yesterday, but I was also buying toys so it seemed a bit much) so I’m wondering if anybody knows anyone who’d be able to do a compare and contrast…

kiriamaya: neutresex: possible trigger warning: non-consensual sex, sexual violence, rape culture, rape — How often do you use “fuck you” or hear someone else say “fuck you”? I’m guilty of it, I do it quite often. I’m always spewing out “fuck that!” or “fuck hate!” or “fuck (insert unpleasant concept/thing/person here)” But only lately have I begun to analyze my use of that language. “Fuck”...

Jha: over the course of the month i finished a harlequin romance novel and realized why i cannot read romance novels anymore
Dorianisms: And why is that?
Jha: i cant take the sex in them seriously
all those euphemisms
Dorianisms: Ahh. Purple prose, eh?
Jha: i dont mind purple prose but my god
clitorises are not pearls
THEY ARE NOT PEARLS, YOU HEAR ME?
this was my main problem while writing sex scenes for my Girl Genius fanfic
which i guess is why i prefer writing erotica than reading it
Dorianisms: Well, obviously clitorises aren't pearls.
Everyone knows they're sapphires.

Song of Solomon Transformed My Life →
zuky: ilykadamen: Young people are more isolated from adults than they’ve ever been. Unless you’re an adult who is getting paid to somehow be involved with young people, chances are most adults have no contact with young people that they’re not related to. And the isolation is kind of structural and it’s very deep and it’s very visible. It’s basically divided the country into people who have...

this ain't livin': The Face of Exploitation →
The exploitation of farm workers in the United States is something I’ve discussed before, and I’ve also discussed how difficult it is to escape exploitative labour practices. Yet, it’s something that doesn’t get as much attention as animal exploitation, by and large, unless you happen to be moving in a circle where people care about farm workers’ rights. Not for nothing do most of the ad...

kiriamaya: adorianmode: meloukhia: Asexuality is diverse and there are many different ways for asexuality to express. If you want to learn more about asexuality and the ace community, the AVEN Wiki is a good place to start.  Asexual people are not ‘broken,’ experiences of sexual assault, rape, abuse, etc. do not ‘turn people asexual.’ Asexual people can be and are kinky. (Hi!) Asexual...

Think women have achieved equality? Think again. →
sheresists: We Can’t Be Equal While: Gender Roles Men are the default and women are the Other (and therefore lesser). Being called “girly” or a “sissy” or “pussy” are some of the worst insults you can give a man. When a woman shows confidence in herself, she is said to “have balls”, or conversely she is a “man-eater”, “ball-buster”, or a “bitch” because she was “too” assertive. Men are beat...

"Fucking idiots" is my shorthand.
haterina: msavignon: Assumption: despite being a bunch of cranky assholes, we all - generally - want to make sure that we use inclusive language which also extends to the words we don’t use. Besides the obvious (n-word, retard), that means eliminating words that may be tossed around by other people as self-identifiers (tranny) or other words that are so-ingrained in vocabulary (lame) that it...

I would like your thoughts on an issue:
jemimaaslana: sheresists: trastorn: I understand the need to avoid language that is harmful in various ways, whether it be racist, sexist, ableist and so on. Like everyone, I have my issues with problematic language and I am working on that. But where is the line? Where does calling others out cross from seeking to limit harm to others to limiting freedom of speech? When I get frustrated...
