Help me out, shop at Amazon →
guillee:
Yup, still broke, and still not getting paid. I hate doing this, but if you’re planning to buy something from Amazon and want to help me out, please use this link to go there before buying anything. I’ll get a small commission of between 4% and 6%, at no extra cost to you. It’s not a ton of money, but it’ll help me get by for now. (Feel free to bookmark the link or drag it to your...

I’ve gotten to a place where I’ve gone from not supporting Obama’s re-election to where I now plan on actively working against it. His refusal to stand up for Anthony Weiner proved to me that he’s not actually…
Yeah, I phrased that incorrectly. I agree that Obama shouldn’t have gotten actively involved in...

Straight people are really acting like Julia Roberts presenting Denzel Washington the Oscar right now. Maybe let’s let gay people have their richly deserved happy night without talking about yourself so much, since, you know, you’re not really the ones affected.

New York just made it happen.
33-29. The Marriage Equality law will take effect 30 days after the Governor signs the bill.

My newest pet peeve: slut-shaming
Criticizing someone - female or male - over the number of sex partners they’ve had in a given time span is just as stupid as criticizing them for the number of different restaurants they’ve eaten dinner at during the same time span. Do it in front of me, and you’d damn well better be ready to get called out.

In which Michael Rottman takes a whole page to explain why a Mitch Hedberg joke is funny, and conclusively proves that he didn’t learn a fucking thing from Hedberg’s brilliance.

An important question: Do female astronauts need to wear bras in space?
Update: This was a Q tackled in New Scientist, allegedly. One answer: “Your correspondent would not need a bra in zero gravity. She can experience for herself the shape her breasts would assume by swimming braless….
Boobs in space. This is relevant to my interests.

Only when I’m wearing a stocking cap and a scowl, Jack. I can tell when you are just saying that to be nice and cheer me up.

Just gorgeous, Miss Peyroux, but I’m not certain it’s such a good idea, all things considered.

Depression
I want to apologize to all of you for checking out yesterday. Some days I can put on a brighter face and muddle through, and some days I just can’t. Yesterday was one of those days when I just couldn’t, at least not by late afternoon. Hell, for all I know, today might be one of those days, too. There’s just no way for me to know. Right now I feel like I’m on the edge of...
Ugh.
Signing off for a while. Too much shit, and not nearly enough sunlight. I never wanted to be cynical and distrusting, but I don’t know how to survive otherwise.
Later.

OK, OK, ladies, I get it.
But I don’t understand it.
OKCupid has a feature called Your Best Face that I find completely fascinating. In a nutshell, you upload 5-10 photos of yourself, which OKCupid users then rate in a head-to-head competition with other members of your same gender and sexual orientation. There is no rating system or grey area whatsoever - two profile photos pop up on the user’s screen, and he...

My father’s obituary. Still seems weird, like I should be feeling some emotion that just isn’t there.
It turns out that I have step-brothers and sisters in Florida, when I was under the impression that they were half-siblings.
Weird. Just weird. That’s all I got.
