Reading Honeybee: a Collection of Poems About Letting Go by Trista Mateer (excellent poet; she's on tumblr if you want to check her out without buying her book - but then when you see how good she is, please buy her book) and The Dharma Bums. Just got Ticker by Lisa Mantchev from Kindle First, so I'll probably do that…

I already bought most of my gifts because shopping stresses me out enough when the whole world isn't telling me how much I need to be doing it. Other than that, I'm in.

We're gonna need some new gifs.

I'm less concerned about the government than I am about the public. She may be free from quarantine, but that doesn't mean some mob of idiots won't take her out.

She was wrongfully imprisoned with a bucket for a toilet for absolutely no reason, and then put under house arrest for absolutely no reason. I don't know about you, but if that happened to me because of something with as much scientific validation as an accusation of witchcraft, I'd be pretty fucking pissed off.

Based on an informal polling of what I can remember people saying when I still drank, "Oh god I'm so hungover and all I want is a [McDonald's breakfast item] but it's like...after noon" is uttered every Sunday by approximately 100% of people who go out drinking on the weekend. It's a slam dunk and I have no idea why…

This is a terrific idea, and I'm not at all eagerly awaiting the avalanche of memes that the internet might create from it. For example, I'm sure nobody will post a picture of a worker who can't feed her family on her McDonald's wage and put a caption like "Lovin' beats eatin'". Just an example of what is definitely…

Jack In The Box ran an entire ad campaign based on how they serve breakfast all day and McDonald's doesn't, and McDonald's still didn't get the message. Instead they came up with this.

All I learned from Disney is that someday my One True Love will come along and then everything will be perfect forever. Turns out that's not true. And even though I know that, I still can't stop believing it. Maybe the kid's better off.

I see what you're saying, but we haven't made the strides we have by keeping silent about those things. Short skirts and cleavage used to be reliable legal defenses, but they're less reliable now. Being really drunk used to be considered consent, but now it's not. California has an affirmative consent law now. That…

The shitload of psych meds probably aren't helping either.

Unfortunately, in the general election Hillary will be the only semi-rational choice

I have no intention of voting for her in the primary. I will vote for the most progressive candidate possible. But in the national? We get a Republican president with the current frothing-at-the-mouth insanity that is the GOP and there is no limit to where we might end up. Hillary won't push for a national personhood…

If it was actually true that nobody cares, predators wouldn't be able to use BDSM like some magic word that makes their abuse OK. Right now BDSM is in the "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" category, where it's not like the '50s where all of them were considered perverts so nobody wanted to protect them, but…

Starring for sheer impressiveness.

My best guess would be that men who have slept with more women have a higher sex drive. Anecdotally, I have slept with fewer than 20 women and have a very low sex drive, to the point where I have been celibate for over two years because eh. So maybe more partners means more desire - not on a case-by-case basis, but…

My little sister comes up to me and says "some old lady just fucking pushed me, she just hit me." Oh fucking hell no, no one's gonna touch my sister.

If Hillary gets the nod, I'm Hillary all the way because stupid two-party system, but it's amazing how quickly every Democrat has forgotten that we know for a fact she's in the pocket of the banks.

Of all the things I've read/seen in various dystopian works of fiction, I never thought clown gangs would be the thing that came true.
