A bit of a digression, but tangentially related: I used to be a fairly frequent reader of historical M/M romances*, and seemingly without fail, one of the men in the romantic pairing has been a rape victim. I suppose it is a small consolation that this generally happens before the story begins and is just frequently

I worked in a special collections library that collected a lot of LGBT materials, including some extremely, EXTREMELY explicit gay porn videos that were created as safe sex teaching videos by an AIDS activist group— it could be that they have porn in their collections and want to make sure people working there are

That first one is some BS. In a previous life, I was a records manager... I’m 5’1 and 105, and the job stated clearly that it required the ability to lift and carry boxes up to 45lbs. Since it was a union job, they did actually make us do a demonstration (pick up box, walk down hallway), but they made *everyone* do

Yes, yes, and YES!! This scene gives me ALL the feels... the music, the cinematography, “...And Rohan will answer!” OMG, I’m getting teary and I haven’t even pressed play yet!

I like to imagine that there’s an industrial foods sector... that’s where you find the Cheesecake Factory and the Spaghetti Warehouse... it’s located right on Cheddar Bay.

My husband jokingly refers to it as “Chipoodle,” which was all well and good until we were talking with a neighbor and he mentioned swinging by “Chipoodle,” which led to our neighbor looking at us like “Bless your hearts...” and we had to explain that yes, we knew that wasn’t how it was pronounced, but...”

I scrolled through just to see if someone would post this! Thank you!

Well... It’s a trade-off. I have the job of my dreams and will soon be getting a horse— two things that weren’t going to happen in NY. But the traffic really does suck, and most of the food is only OK. But all told, I don’t really miss NY. I was there for 22 years, and the NYC I left wasn’t the NYC that I loved.

I moved to LA from NYC last year— rents definitely differ by area. The prices are *almost* on a par with NYC in most places, but you tend to get more bang for your buck (larger apartments, outdoor space, etc). I scored a $1000 studio... but it’s in Sherman Oaks— which is essentially the Queens of LA.

I once took a horse on a pub crawl. In Brooklyn.

Oh, absolutely!!!

My mother has told me over and over "Let us worry about us— we've got it covered." She has made it clear she does not want them to be a burden to my husband and I, and has saved accordingly. I am grateful for the sentiment, but there's always the possibility that something catastrophic will happen and I will have to

FWIW, I'm both childless by choice and an only child. I never had strong feelings about parenthood, and my parents were awesome, so I felt as though if I couldn't approach it with the same level of devotion and enthusiasm, I should step aside. And now biology has closed that particular door, and while I occasionally

I was tangentially involved in some crazy-ass marital infidelity... when I was 15.

see, that's what I get for not having a TV! I'm clearly missing the good stuff!!! :D

I'm not a big mystery buff, but the idea of an older woman just gallivanting around the world on spy missions with hijinx ensuing was too good to pass up. I highly recommend them; they are delightfully entertaining!

I, for one, would love a Mrs. Pollifax character in urban fantasy... older woman, bored to tears by her banal existence, walks into S.H.I.E.L.D. or Torchwood or somesuch and volunteers to start kicking ass and taking names, very politely.

It seems like that guy got the vulva/vagina confusion backwards for once.

They've got trouble...Right there in River City...And that starts with T, which rhymes with D, which stands for "Doin' it with Women!"

I have a 2005 XC 90 that I inherited from my SIL (the suburban mom with 2 kids and a large dog for whom this car was clearly created)... I loathe it for many reasons— terrible in-town mileage, far too big for my needs, terrible maneuverability, zero pickup, and just plain fugly— but I definitely always feel extremely
