Disintegration, fuck yes.

Disintegration, fuck yes.

It’s old but I love Axis of Awesome’s “Four Chord Song”. It makes me laugh and triggers some part of my lizard brain that responds to pop music.

Wasn’t Parks & Rec on NBC, though? Or was she in a cable show?

Oh no, I’m sorry that your friends are pulling a bit of a “fuck you, I got mine” situation. I’m sure that when you get married you’ll have plenty of folks to choose from for a wedding party. To be honest, there are a few friends that I’d say yes to if they asked me to be in the wedding party even if it’s not my…

This is a very good point. I sometimes feel like I’d do better in a time/place where acquaintances, old friends, and distant relatives were “out of sight, out of mind.” I’ll try to remember how ridiculous Facebook is with pushing this kind of stuff next time I’m feeling irritated.

Haha, we’re more broke now than we were then since I’m now in school! But we’re planning a modest trip for after I graduate next year and I’m hoping to take us abroad for an anniversary present within the next 5 years. We had a small reception hosted by my mother-in-law the next year so we didn’t lack a celebration,…

As much as I don’t want/am slightly afraid of children, I get why the baby events are so spread out and numerous. There are so many firsts, 9 months of build-up, and it alters every single aspect of your life. But a wedding shouldn’t change your life, the relationship should. I understand wanting to celebrate one’s…

I’m in that unfortunate age where a dozen people at my social periphery are engaged/getting married at any one time. I’m so tired of hearing about other people’s weddings! My Facebook is all engagements, wedding planning, bridesmaid dresses, bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinners, and actual weddings. As A Gay™️ who…

The caramel wasn’t as bad as the brownies I had in college but it was uncomfortable to say the least. You’re right about everyone being different, however. For someone who is completely new, I tend to recommend treats that come in 5mg doses so that they can take another dose if it’s been an hour and a half and…

I’m a heavy pot user (blunts, pipes, and edibles) and I had a 10mg salted caramel two weeks ago and LOST MY SHIT. Waaaaaay too high.

Look into edibles or tinctures. Bud tenders will know the strengths of their products and will give you directions on how much to eat and how long to wait for the effects to start. You can just straight-up tell them “I’ve never done this before, help,” and no one working will judge you or treat you differently.…

To my lesbian Muslim wife who does activism work to increase Muslim acceptance of LGBT folks within the community, this survey is proof that the work she and others like her are doing isn’t pointless and is actually making a difference. Surveys like this are incredibly encouraging to LGBT Muslims. As much as I also…

Congratulations on all your success! I can only hope that as more and more women are diagnosed the medical and educational communities will begin to focus more heavily on screening girls who are showing signs of being on the spectrum.

I read this book of essays called Voices From the Spectrum and there was a section of essays written by parents of children with autism. I was shocked to read about how many of them realized that they or their spouse is also on the spectrum but was never diagnosed after their child’s diagnosis. If your son is on the…

My wife wasn’t diagnosed until last year at age 32. She’s been seeing a therapist who is basically using a lite version of social stories and “troubleshooting” social situations and she’s doing so much better now. If she had had access to this kind of therapy as a child, she would have been spared a lot of social and…

Leaving for Delaware tonight for a beach vacation with my in-laws. I’m taking a red-eye which I’m not excited about but it’ll all be worth it.

I have some friends who are exchange students from Saudi and they have told me a bit about the differences between cities. According to them, Jeddah is where you go to let your hair down but you have to be more proper in Riyadh.

They add it to the state database. It’s not like they’re making the survivor responsible for the abuser’s behavior. The notification happens when the abuser FAILS a background check so it’s not like the abuser will get a gun after failing the check. It’s better than the literal nothing that they do now.

What?? no.

You won’t catch shit from me. I’ve seen them like 4 times in concert.
