It’s not just the heat in TX either! LOL Texas has the exact same humidity as PA right now and is very slighter hotter. So TX is having dry times because it’s usually a lot more than 49% humidity in TX. They’d never have sex if they waited for the humidity to be low.

I am used to the desert heat here in Los Angeles. But the last few summers we have been getting hit with hella humidity. Like walk outside for 10 minutes, and you’re covered with sweat humidity. I don’t even know how to deal with that.

They are talking heat plus humidity. I can’t imagine sexy times in 110 degree heat with 95% humidity. That hot sticky thing would just make me want to die slowly under air conditioning.

I live in Texas. We hit 100+ degress often. We fuck just fine. (Apologies, I just never thought these “weather makes sex uncomfortable” jokes were ever any good)

(which is named Fountainhead, yikes)

No pregnancy. There was a pullout. ;)

No problem. When I started writing it began with snark. By mid comment I remembered (from painful personal experience) how dealing with an ex is a constant work in progress. Then I thought “He’s learning and growing”. I respect that.

I wasn't criticizing. It does show growth. If my child told me to stop being ridiculous, I would take that as the wake up call that it was. Looks like he did too. Probably one of the best moves he's made in a while.

I'm gonna miss him soooooo much.

As a side project we (I gathered our engineering team) figured out long island popsicles:

Meh. Saying something ugly and regrettable in the heat of the moment kind of pales in comparison to murdering your children.

Just ordered it! Lets talk about it in a few days.

Trigger warnings can also be a class/privilege thing, in and of themselves. Lots of veterans that I know come from lower class backgrounds and experienced some horrendous shit as one can imagine and scoff at the notion of trigger warnings—even those who acknowledge that they have PTSD. The very idea that one can ask…

I don’t think that anyone is saying that it’s wrong or bad to have mixed feelings about certain content. Rather, it’s wrong to assume that everyone should know that you personally would have an issue with x, y, or z. Therefore, as an adult, one should be capable for reading the syllabus and approaching the teacher…

Nicely put.

I recently read The Girl With Seven Names by Hyeonseo Lee who accidentally defected when she was 17. She describes her childhood in North Korea and how everyone was always so careful in how they acted and what they said. Her descriptions of her education are ridiculous. Mostly just learning everything about the ruling…

I’ve only ever seen a few excerpts from Pyongyang, but that bit with the girls performing at the school with the plastered on smiles stays with you.

His books are great, I have his entire collection and I love his little insights into everywherer he goes too. I’m definitely going to be getting her book as well to add to my small NK collection.

Yeah, I mean, if we’re talking about the idea of helping people get to the point where they’re emotionally resilient enough to not be totally incapacitated for days because they encountered something that brought up their trauma, that’s one thing. But I think that’s a sort of individual-level thing that an institution…

I recommend this book on the regular. It’s just fascinating.
