My family's fundie church explicitly forbids cremation which causes no end of angst because I insist on being cremated. They seem to think I am going to be sorry for not being resurrected and judged, or, even worse, miss out on being saved with them (shudder). From my experience growing up in that church and way too…

Call me suspicious, but my guess is the "threats" were more along the lines of trans supporters coming to the funeral rather than any harm to the family. The "threat" was people not letting them pretend they were having a funeral a son who died in a tragic accident because people would be there loudly proclaiming that…

One of my friends was raped in a NYC taxi. He had dropped two of us off and she was the last. Unfortunately none of us got his medallion number or his name off the posted license, so when she went to the police they didn't have much to go on. We could say where we hailed the cab (around Union Square), the time (3:00…

I never watched it, so I guess you are not alone. From the ads back in the day I never could figure out how they could afford such nice apartments on their incomes. Those ads gave me apartment envy.

Two of my friends were raped in licensed taxis and more than a few sexually assaulted in New York, Boston and San Francisco. Licensed taxis are no panacea

I wonder how trans and gender nonconforming foreign workers handle the strict gender segregation now? I assume at least a few of the thousands of expatriate workers and some native Saudis are trans or gender nonconforming and coping in some fashion.

I moved countries to Turkey for Maaaanbrainz job and might do it again to Morocco (he moved back to US for mine) and personally it was a great call. However, hit up connections before you move and look at job options. Try to line up informational interviews before or soon after you move. There is the temptation to…

Maaaaanbrainz is doing his turn at walking the dogs in the cold and damp for the day (I did am shift) and then we are popping a cork or two, binging on Boardwalk Empire since we seemed to have caught 3-4 episodes of every season on travel but never saw a whole season. Might motivate to go to our neighbor's party if we…

I agree. These guys think all men believe their tripe anyway and there is nothing easier than just confirming the beliefs of fanatics and hatemongers. You would not even have to do it long before the great reveal and can avoid boredom.

And, of course, I want to go to his site and see if I can get him to actually bring it on, which is childish and akin to, "I double dog triple dare you!"

I have not done it, but still no rebuke, since I vomited on someone else while we were both naked and then cried. Ringing in the New Year after pounding unknown types and amounts of booze with your first blowjob was not my greatest moment of decision-making

"If women's groups in the US really want to do things for women now, they have to start doing that. It's not getting better. The laws in the US are getting worse and worse, access is getting worse and worse, you make sure that women have access another way other than clinics. There are ways to get these pills by mail.…

Everything about lululemon is insane but true.

I had poor reading comprehension and even worse celebrity knowledge and took the title to mean Marian and her baby (does she even have one?) slept in the car through her nail appointment.
