They will go to any lengths. In CA, we had a proposition to prevent underage women from getting an abortion without approval of their parents. The argument was that IF the pregnancy was the result of molestation and the girl didn't tell her parents, that would allow molesters to escape punishment. I can see arguments

I know. I walk by the schoolyard and see all those little kids skipping and playing...I can't imagine what it would take for someone to want to go in and hurt them. It's just such unimaginable horror.

Pheasant. My family can be nice. But my dad would not watch basketball because it was too many black people. Fortunately, his bad example made me want to be different, so that's a positive, I guess.

And here's a picture of my family to tell you that when they say NBA, they mean something else that begins with an N.

Hahaha no.

I never noticed who plays in the NBA! Anyways, I don't see color!

The whole grey thing is just fucking stupid. The ideal way to do it IMO is to designate certain longtime, reasonable commenters as being able to dismiss a post, then it goes in a queue for editorial review and re-posting if merited, or into the black hole if it isn't.

I have met some great friends in Toastmasters and have improved my public speaking skills. I spoke in front of my church a couple weeks ago, telling a deeply personal story, and I was not nervous besides a little buzz of excitement. I actually had fun!

One of my favorite things about etsy is how lovingly things are packaged and sent. I just bought some more perfume samples from Roxana at Illuminated Perfumes (all natural oils, gorgeous scents) and they came in a velvet bag with a handwritten note and a set of cards describing the different scents. The cards were

Looks pretty normal to me. I wonder if people just aren't going in for vintage as much lately since clothing is so cheap? I listed a bunch of mid-century handpainted dinnerware on ebay recently and did not get one bid. My prices were low, too. Dunno.

I @'ed you.

As long as people can't express the wholeness of who they are, it allows bigots to pin you as JUST your sexuality. When people don't know or acknowledge LBGT people as real humans with real, full lives, they can other them as being perverts. That's why they want people to shut up.
