Hmm, maybe you're right. I don't usually don't pay much attention to my comments unless people start responding to them—maybe they do usually hang out in the grey until they get bumped up. Ok, my identity is soothed. :)

Oh no, I'm back in the grey for some reason! Have I become a troll without my knowing?! MY IDENTITY!!!

Eeeee, Stoya! <3 I lose my shit over the adorableness of James Deen and Stoya. They're both so rad.

I have to admit, I'm slightly baffled by this attitude. As a white, straight, in manymany ways privileged white woman, it just seems like a no-brainer that I (we) have a responsibility to work in solidarity with marginalized and oppressed groups. Obviously the logistics of that can be really challenging, and I still…

I just can't even with this horrific bullshit any more. Stories like this make me want to single-handedly tear down every goddamn paramilitary institution in the world for their relentless perpetuation of violence, injustice and oppression. Just... fuck.

This is how I will always picture you now.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is an internet and dating thing, more than a gender thing.

Amen. There's something incredibly dismissive about categorizing an elite group of highly skilled professional women as basically "good at stalking because gossip".

Anyone else reminded of this little gem?

Woah, I'm actually pretty sure you might be ME. I reread Oscar Wao last week, and I'm listening to Fleet Foxes right now while waited for my beardy hipster manfriend to get home.

Ooh, this is meta. You're totally right, if being a hipster is uncool then we hipsters need to "ironically" reclaim the title. Nouveau hipsters, UNITE!

I really think I'm a hipster as well, but people shut me down when I make that claim. They seem to think it's a rule that if you self-identify as one, it can't be so.

Whatever. I'm going to take my thick-rimmed glasses, my Philosophy degree and my knitting needles and just bike right away from the conversation.

I love that the majority of the joke is just the actual, real-life Paisley lyrics. Too terrible for words.

If it's free, I say go for it!
1. NightDude is also overly well-endowed (seems like it would be such a good thing, right? Not so much, sometimes...), but we haven't had any issues with it. My cervix definitely gets bumped on the regular, but haven't experienced anything to suggest it's moving anywhere.
2. See my answer…

I love my IUD. I was concerned about the strings as well, but it's been a total non-issue. I can barely find that fucker when I *want* to feel it! Maybe I'm just lucky, but it seems to lay really flush against me. My partner's never felt it at all. Don't know enough to be able to answer 1. unfortunately!

YES! Yesyesyesyesyes. Oh lord there are so many beautiful men in GoT, but Ser Jorah is king of them all (though so far away from the books!)

Glad I'm not alone! It almost looks like a slide show of images taken in quick succession.

ETA: if you watch the video at the source link, that's smoother.

Agreed, although for me I feel like there's a difference between dating and life-partner. When I was younger, I dated a fairly devout Christian, and it was a lovely relationship. I don't think I'd have any problem dating someone with strong faith in any religion. But when it comes to sharing a life together, raising…

I hated the pill, but now have the hormonal IUD and I loveloveLOVE it. It's seriously magic.

It's amazing how deeply we internalize that message, and at how young an age. I learned in middle school that if I wore tight pants, I would be fondled and groped. It took another decade, including a couple years of critical feminist theory, before I had my "ohhhh" moment, connecting those 'lessons' and experiences to…
