It’s been almost 24 hours since I sent my first emails to people asking about roommate situations, and I know other people don’t check their email as often as I do, but I’m starting to get paranoid that people don’t like me, or that my emails got stuck in spam filters. More likely the latter.

Other white people:
If you refer to voting in this election as having to choose the “lesser of two evils”
You are calling Barack Obama evil.
I repeat:
You are calling a BLACK MAN evil.
And in this country, you can’t call black people evil as a white…
The fact is, the evil Obama’s done is stuff that, as President, he’s uniquely capable of doing. Things like almost vetoing NDAA, which authorized indefinite detention of US citizens because he didn’t think it went far enough, before signing it anyways, and then deciding that a court injunction against it only applied to the handful of parties involved in the lawsuit, and not the public at large. Or ordering drone strikes which can take out foreign civilians, or even US citizens without due process.
What makes his evil extraordinary and worthy of notice is that he’s institutionalizing it. He’s not one man going out and committing a single random act of mass violence, he’s using the power bestowed on him by the American people to twist our own government against us. He doesn’t get a free pass out of being evil for having done evil on that scale for being black.
i hate when applications are like “why do you want to work here”
because i need money
what do you want me to say omfg
I HAVE A PASSION FOR FROZEN YOGURT
It’s your chance to play the game, and show you have a familiarity with their product and company. ‘because I need the money’ is a reason to work at all. It’s not why you’re applying there, and not down the street.
Just helped my best friend/It’s Complicated figure out the best sleeping arrangement for him and our girl while on vacation with his family. Almost glad I wasn’t invited along. Even the best configuration seems dissatisfying.
Maybe this will go away but...
Every time I take a shit and my IUD doesn’t fall out, I’m like ‘holy shit this is awesome!’
I was so on NuvaRing too long, and not just because I got a blood clot.
Cool things: My left boob has some epic bruising. Also a few spots on my arm. And my right boob.
Lidocaine and Xanax are pretty good
After a few failed attempts over the past year, I finally (finally!) got an IUD yesterday. I went for the copper one, because the hormonal kind has a 5-10% chance of depression as a side effect, and with my history, and the fact that antidepressants almost entirely knock out my sexual attraction and entirely knock out my sex drive, I wasn’t gonna go there. About 15 minutes beforehand, I took 2mg Xanax (30 min prior I took 800mg ibuprofen), and the appointment went well, other then a brief moment of “okay, evverbody, let’s stop so I can panic now.” The lidocaine injection was like magic, I felt only some minor cramping. Today, that’s basically gone, and the spotting is pretty much gone, too. Awesomeness.
Putting my arm where my mouth is
I got vaccinated today. This isn’t that unusual, I suppose. Except for HPV, I’ve always been fully vaccinated, and I got vaccinated for some of the weird stuff, too. (Hep A and Typhoid)
And today, I got started on being vaccinated for HPV. It wasn’t bad. A little achey, but hey. The nurse knew how to give shots. None of this “Are you ready?” crap, just swipe, stick and you’re done. Awesome.
“I’m going to make a store called “Build-a-Bra” where girls can go and make bras that are for them if they have different shaped boobs. And really big boobs. And really small boobs. And bras for boys that they can stuff if they want them. And really any kind of boobs. And you’ll choose the size of each cup and then you can choose the color and pattern and shape. And it’ll be really cheap. But lace and diamonds will cost a little extra”

my 12 year old “niece” Lila on her business idea.
I love that little girl.

Best idea.

WHY DOES THIS NOT EXIST? IT WOULD BE LIKE BUILD-A-BEAR, BUT FOR BOOBS. I WOULD BRING ALL MY BRA-LOVING FRIENDS. AND WE WOULD MAKE BRAS AND BE AWESOME. IT WOULD BE THE BEST.

Took my little sister toy shopping today. After much browsing, she chose a pack of Hot Wheels cars. She wanted to pay so I gave her the money. As we were waiting in line, some dude waiting behind us asks:
“Buying those for your brother?”
My sister gives him a weird look,…
Welp, two mass shootings in what? A month?
If I had the money, this would be The Summer S. Buys a Gun. As it is, It’s probably gonna be The Semester S. Scrimps And Saves So It Can Be The Winter She Buys A Gun, ‘cause I’m seeing us quickly forgetting the Laws Passed In The Wake Of Tragedy Are Pretty Much Universally A Bad Idea.
Confirmed.
If I am not careful, this semester will be me, slowly devolving into a grouchy hermit who wears shooting muffs or earplugs all the time.
It’s kind of ironic, really. I’m loud, and I love loud music and loud explosions, but what happens when I get especially stressed is that everything becomes too loud. Other people’s conversations, doors, fans, the god damn dishwater. It’s all too loud.
Made cold-brew coffee last night
In a ball jar. filtered and drank it cold this morning. Best stuff.
“Learning to have sex from watching porn is about as effective as learning to drive from watching car chase movies. And unfortunately, that’s what our sex education system forces people to do. Rather than helping people learn how to make authentic sexual choices, communicate with a partner, set boundaries or identify their needs, desires, and goals, we withhold information and then shame them for making mistakes. Is it any wonder that people are trying to learn how to have sex from porn?
Porn isn’t any more of a fantasy than a romantic comedy or an action movie is. But until we give people more accurate ideas about sex, there’s no way to balance it out. And to critique porn for doing something that every other genre of entertainment does seems a bit silly to me. After all, there’s no reason to have higher expectations for porn than we do for action movies.

Not this report, obviously, but it critically summarizes people giving pregnant women high doses of drugs in an untested off-label use to prevent intersex conditions and gender variance. Seriously, people. Sometimes you make me sad.
