I adopted my sweet little mutt a week and a half ago. Her shelter name was Joanie (come on, not even Joni as in Mitchell?), but she did not answer to it at all. We think she's part Basenji because of her huge pointy ears, so we named her Stella, short for Stellaluna the bat.

Pitties have the cutest, happiest looking faces.

I thought I was done crying for the moment until I read your comment. I'm so sorry for your loss.

And once again I'm thrilled with my decision to get a hormonal IUD. I'm less likely to get pregnant on it than if I had my tubes tied. Huzzah.

I go back and forth with my husband all the time about kids. He loves kids and is so great with them. I really like some kids, but other kids I would literally rather cut off an appendage than have to answer their stupid fucking questions. I really want to be pregnant and give birth, and if my kids are a certain way I…

I learned about the cute wonder that is the Fenne Fox because Jeff Corwin has one as a pet. Her name is Teacup, because when he got her, she could fit in a teacup. Jeff Corwin is an expert wildlife dude though, so I trust him to do right by Teacup.

Scotties! I'm from the class of 2012 (Blue Water Dragons!), and I currently work there, so I can give my two cents. One of my closest friends at ASC enrolled as a ciswoman lesbian, and in his junior year began to tell his friends that he was questioning his gender. By his senior year all his ASC paperwork listed him…

Whew. I wrote a rather violent FemShep/Jack fight sex fic that is decently popular on FFN, so I was worried I had offended your genitals with my own work.

...Was the pairing Jack/FemShep?

I hope you named them after the Tam children.

Oh my God, I do your job now at my school. and Soledad O'Brien did our commencement speech last year. We're basically the same person.

I am still vaguely scared of this movie. Since it was only PG-13, my parents took me to see it when I was 12. When I stayed with my grandmother, I slept in my grandfather's bed (he always slept on his recliner). The bedroom had a door out to the back porch, and something on the porch made the exact silhouette of one…

I had a crapton to stuffed animals in my room as a kid. The only one that wasn't "mine" was an E.T. plush my parents bought, so it sat on top of the big dresser/tv stand thing in my room. The eyes glowed in the dark. I could only fall asleep facing it, because I didn't dare turn my back to it. I still only ever want…

My husband and I have pretty amazing sex. Lot's of fucked-up roleplay. We are both the kinds of people who were like "I will never be able to tell my future spouse about the fucked up things I jerk off to" before meeting one another. I swear, every time we sheepishly admit something to one another, the other partner…

I laugh at number one, because my husband and I are both clinically depressed, but we communicate well, argue effectively, and have a lot of good quality sex. So, huzzah?

Yeah, Audre Lorde has a pretty vivid description of her illegal abortion in her book Zami, and I was nauseated and so angry. Angry that anyone could think that forcing people to go back to that would somehow be better for babies. If people with uteri would go through that to not be pregnant, how in the world can…

My cat, Swain, has a not-real name. But I don't like Fluffy and Snowball and shit. She's named after a video game character because she is black and has a limp, and the character has black hair and walks with a cane and a limp. Here she is in the cat tree built by her grandfather.

Thank you for making me cry when I haven't even been at work for an hour.

And here I thought I was finally done crying about Mass Effect 3. Thanks io9.

Joke's on you, PETA. If I was eighteen percent thinner, I'd still be too fat for Plan B.
