TL; DR

ha, i've seen that banner! it's right across the street from the PP in the Bronx i used to go to!

i am NOT wired for this. i've been unemployed twice during the time i've lived with my now-husband (during which time he was consistantly employed), and i went batshit crazypants. the apartment was sparkling, sure, and we always had groceries, but i had so much social energy left over at the end of the day that it was…

The Joan Rivers Go Daddy ad was NOTHING compared to the one that followed it, in which the two regular spokesladies looked at the script, demonstrated extreme discomfort, then—having been browbeaten into submitting to their contracts—proceeded to walk around in heels and (presumably) nothing else, looking extremely…

my now-husband and i, who've been together since 2001 and "in a relationship(/engaged)" since 2006, are "complicated" on facebook. why? because it's funny, and facebook is stupid. had i not been with him, i would have totally been "married" to one of my friends.

anal sex IS a feminist issue, insofar as everyone getting to do what she enjoys in the sack without undo judgement or pressure from creepy far-right organizations is a feminist issue.

so, her qualifications for Sex Week are that she's definitely had it, at least once? where's my twenty grand?

@littleada: but for minor issues and temporary problems

@littleada: a lot of the seemingly trivial reasons he tells people to leave their partners come down to incompatibility. your partner won't engage in a particular sexual act that is really, REALLY important to you? that speaks to sexual incompatibility. more often than not (in my experience), he takes pains to say…

I actually wouldn't be worried about Dan Savage talking to high school students. I read his column and listen to his podcast, and minors come up fairly regularly. They call/write in often, and their parents call/write in on their behalf occasionally. When dealing with teenagers, Dan is MUCH more conservative—his…

the notion that all american women are identical is beaten in foolishness only by the notion that all other women on earth are also identical. nice work, doug!

i celebrated christmas with my shiny new husband (it's been a month and a half) for the first time this year. his family is half jewish/half catholic, so they do both hanukkah and christmas every year, with christmas happening at his very italian grandmother's house.

oh man, i see one of these EVERY DAY on my way home from work (where i work with lots of unaborted black children). and each time i stare at it dangerously (in that i probably ought to be staring at the road) and think, "for the love of fuck, what does that mean?"

i read this mostly as gratitude for the women who let THESE men have sex with them. wouldn't you be surprised if jessica alba would want either of them to do that thing?

@baseballchica03: no, i got that. i just don't know what "very rory gilmore" actually means.

@MemilyBimble: perfect!

@hot kachina: my understanding is that "straight/heterosexual" refers to the kind of people you're attracted to—those of the opposite sex.

@ink: i still don't understand the Rory reference. is it because she was in straight, cis-gendered relationships? it felt pejorative for reasons i didn't understand. is it because Logan sucked?
