This showed up on my Facebook. I don't know who this lady is (if you do, please educate me better than Google has!), but I like her. Basically, a guy followed her for awhile trying to get her number, and their conversation ends with her crying and saying she needs him to be the father to all of her seven children. (I…
I will continue to gross everyone out with the story of getting new holes in my lobes as an adult. Also, my piercing shop is closed today and I'm wondering what's normal for healing. Did anyone else experience dark purple bruising near the piercing site, and one side definitely hurting more than the other? Does that…
Yo Groupthink, I am adult who has finally decided there are too many cool earrings in the world. I want to wear them. So I made an appointment at a tattoo/piercing place to get my ears pierced next week. I know I have to be very diligent with cleaning, but I am also concerned about sleeping. I have to sleep on my…
I am creeping out of the wilderness (literally) and lurkerdome (again) to offer Manfeels Park. The best thing of today.
I was away for awhile because I may or may not live/work in a wild place far from civilization, so getting internet was a trial. Speaking of what I may or may not work for, here is a really awesome news piece! The National Park Service is going to start honoring places significant in LGBTQ history as national…
One time someone ranked a bunch of Star Trek characters here, and a friend just sent me this, so I'm sharing it. A bunch of fans at a convention ranked the Star Trek movies from worst to best. My favorite part is that Galaxy Quest is #7. Fabulous, I love that movie.
Because here is a horror story involving racism, possibly sexism, police brutality, and ripping apart someone's life for no reason at all beyond privilege and ability to do so.
As I replied in a recent post below, in the past several months/weeks I have started and finished Supernatural, the 2005 Dr. Who, and Torchwood. And I don't know what to do with myself now that I'm done with them all. I need some recommendations for shows that are equally fandom-y. Because that is the mood I am in. I…
Can someone teach me how to handle the replies in that article about bros and slut-shaming? Because I can't.
I hope those of you under clear skies and the right path will go outside tonight and take a look up. I'll be manning a telescope in a public park until about 2 AM, and (I'm sure) explaining why the moon looks red repeatedly. Anyway, welcome to the total lunar eclipse, post your experiences!
I do! I've tried to figure out exactly why for a long time. I like them better than I like horror movies, which I also enjoy, but something about controlling the character in doing scary things makes the whole thing even more frightening. I wanted to come recommend one I recently found and am enjoying: The Last Door…
Somebody on my FB newsfeed linked to a really nice and hopefully true story about Robert Downey Jr. Just thought I'd share.
Most of the time I like him a lot.
In a couple of weeks I'm heading to Florence, Italia, where it will still be a bit chilly. My big winter coat is basically for practicality (skiing, polar vortexes) and I don't have anything else that looks much better. Can someone advise me on where online I might find a stylish, lightweight
jacket so I can look good…
Recently I was lucky enough to be one of 20 permitted people to hike in a fragile wilderness area where there is no trail. I went to a place called The Wave, an insanely beautiful sandstone formation on the AZ/UT border. For an idea of what it looks like:
But I can't stop. http://en.akinator.com/
Today I discovered that Google Maps knows where I work. I have never told it where I work. I searched for a location and it said something like, "5 minute commute from work!" It was right, by the way. Then I used Google to see why Google knows so much about me - apparently it guesses based on where you spend a lot of…
I should probably disclose that I'm white. I'm also well outside of the big winter storm hitting the East Coast. The weather and Twitter are being hilarious:
I went to Walmart because I have very few other options here. The PA system was playing a radio station I wasn't paying attention to, but they said something about Black History Month. A man standing at the end of the aisle, by himself, yelled, "What about white history month?! HUH? WHAT ABOUT THAT, DAMN IT?" And then…
