I think it's great. While it's reasonable to question underlying assumptions about using sexiness to sell anything, the end result is that this will probably make many people who hold stereotypes of cheerleaders and stereotypes of scientists (without personally knowing people of either type) stop and think.

@ning!: That's amazing.

@genevievep: Okay, this is a kind of goal that makes sense to me.

@Sugarshock: I've never heard anyone put it quite like this. Thank you, I'll take this to heart.

@PrettyPrettyPrincess: I hear you about using the exercise bike to "put your time in." I listen to audiobooks while putting my time in. I have no goals. Part of me says I don't need goals, that any amount of exercise, even on days when I don't feel like doing it, is the point. And maybe that is good enough for awhile,…

[nevermind]

Whatever. I'll pay whatever they want. I budget my gas already, I'll just have to budget for chocolate.

@diasdiem: Yeah, I keep all my junk mail in my vagina.

@FreudianNipSlip: Hearteeeed.

@AndPreciousLittleofThat: Also, the ConSex. Its own category. K.

@collegelemur: I spin! It's great for learning what fibers do and why. Qiviut is VERY fine and usually short-stapled, not unlike angora. It will fall out of the twist or pill with the agitation of walking on it all day. You'll want a mix more like 40% or 50% wool, with less of the others.

@Femzoil: And Nuckin Futz, I want y'alls Rav names. Prairie, I found you.

I always look at movie premiere photos wondering how actors' outfits tie into the movie's themes. Keira's dress says to me, "TAKE MY KIDNEYS." (#4)

Yeah, fuck this whole summer. What You Said, + Dog's Cancer, + Lost My Job.

@weaselina: I was thinking it reminded me of this:

Hells yeah, I've been thinking this is the way for a long time. What vegetables have been missing is Happy Meal branding and packaging.

I've used the free BPM MixMeister to automate the BPMs of my mp3s. Open the app, open a folder of mp3s in the app, and wait while it calculates and automatically tags your mp3s. When I upload these mp3s into iTunes, BPM shows up. Then I can use the advanced playlist settings to set a BPM range for workouts.

@DarlingBecky: For once (and once only), I ... daresay I think I like it. It's cute and ... I daresay ... not ... stupid?

That seems ridiculously low.

"Sluthood gave me the time and space to nurse a shattered heart. It gave me a place where I could exist in pieces, some of me craving touch, some of me still too tender to even expose to the light. ... I felt hot, wanted, powerful. My desire and enthusiasm was an asset, not an unintended weapon."
