I'm so sorry that you were assaulted as a child by an adult. That is a terrible burden to carry. A very dear friend is a male survivor of molestation, and his experience of counseling has been profoundly life changing, please do seek help if you think you need it.

Or, to actually BE precise, yesterday's date. Knowing today's date fail.

To be precise, the siege of Sarajevo started on this day (with the war starting in June) ut Yugoslavia had already begun dissolving into war(s), with the Slovene 10 day war and the war in Croatia both starting in '91. Milosevic had also planted the seeds of war in Kosovo with his 1989 speech. So Europe's peace had…

Sadly, I always found my "fuck you!" punk rock look just attracted the uber uber creepers.

I used to read stumptuous.com, and it made me really stoked to lift weights.

Hey, can I suggest a few links for you? My friend Camille has an awesome blog from Slovenia, her blog's subtitle is "brainy, bigmouthed and black by the Balkans." Go back and read through her archives, she writes about all kinds of stuff, and some of her writing addresses her experiences as a black woman from America…

@Solzica: ignore my poor translation, the words are different in Croatian and Slovenian, my mind jumped to the word for food in SI #boobs

@Diziet_Sma: something along the lines of "(the) dish/meal is gravilovicka", which is the brand name. pretty standard Slovenian advertising. #boobs

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: Whale sharks generally can not be held in captivity (they tend to die within a year), but there is one in Japan who has been in an aquarium for something like ten years, nobody knows why.

God I love that city.

@foodandshoes: I too am confused.

@7states: You are a great friend for being the person they can call for advice at 3am. Can I say though that I lol'd a little bit at "organism"? :)

@yvanehtnioj: I made a double batch and ate the whole first batch with my guy in one night. I've been trying to resist the second batch but it's calling my name.

@Moabit: Yes, many of the people on the ground would be average joes getting by, but the people who run the show (e.g. organized crime bosses, charming recruiters who accompany the women to their destinations) would tend to be sociopathic individuals. It doesn't mean that the social factors aren't present, it means…

I just finished reading a book called "the sociopath next door", which says that 4% of people are sociopaths. If you factor that into this story, it's not hard to see why a certain percentage of human traffickers could be women. If you don't have the ability to feel empathy for another being, you don't have a…

I agree with above posters who mention that millions of Caucasian or light-skinned people are Muslims. Bosnia Hercegovina (and all other ex-Yu countries), Albania, countries in the Caucasus range, Central Asia, Western China all have large Muslim Caucasian populations.

Forget economic downturn, cauliflower is a bitch to grow. That's why this farmer dropped it from her crop roster. I can think of no other crop that the slugs and caterpillars liked more. And if they didn't get in there and fuck it up for me, then the damn things would turn yellowy if they caught any rays. Nobody…

@LibidinousSlut: folks I know use "trans" to account for diversity while still being respectful.

@TurtleSpeak: NOT THE TREBEK! I knew no good would come of shaving off that mustache!

I do not own a bag. I do not understand bags. I would like one, but I cannot differentiate between ugly and hot bags. Sometimes I do not feel like a grown up. Sometimes I feel smug.
