Google’s oddball behaviour

• I: define: scrumtrulescence
• Google: No definitions were found for “scrumtrulescence”. Did you mean “scrumtrulescent”?
• I: Yes.
• Google: No definitions were found for “scrumtrulescent” either.
• I: Thank you, you’ve been incredibly helpful.

YOU WIN IT SIR.

I don't know whether to laugh, be proud, or fall down weeping.

Kaylee: I love my family.
LP: We love you too. Who is in your family, do you know?
K: Yes.
LP: Mommy, Daddy, Pippa - who else?
K: No! Mommy, Daddy, Pippa are not my family!
LP: What?
K (clutching a book to her chest): Books. Books are my family.

This is ridiculously adorable.

Why do people use so many commas?

clapifyoulikeme:

texburgher:

Because they’re talking to themselves as they write. We are. Whatever.

Besides, only Americans do that, and Americans, damnit, for all their faults, are empowered, through force, tradition, and manifest destiny, to behave in ways that are not just rash or domineering, but are often rebellious, not to mention creative.

Ask me anything

I use them for clarity. The Oxford comma is amazing and anyone who says otherwise is a stinking liar shitburgling cockbucket.

AGREED. Also, judging by this and my last post, tonight is my night for feeling strongly about things.

A Sex Positive Manifesto

On the premises that:

1. Sex (in some form, even if it is limited to masturbation or exposure to sexual imagery in daily life) is a universal experience.
2. Sex is commonly a positive experience.
3. A lack of educated and thoughtful discussion of sex leads to negative sexual experiences such as unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, sexual assault, and unintentional injury.
4. The prevailing global attitude toward sex is based in ways of thinking that take an invisible, intangible, omnipotent, morally-challenged, and unprovable being and medieval social mores as their basis, rather than the physical and emotional wellbeing of contemporary human individuals.
5. Studies have suggested that as many as one in every ten human beings is gay.
6. My life experience suggests that a rather higher percentage of human beings are not totally “straight”.
7. My Classical education strongly suggests that the very concept of “homosexuality” as a defined sexual identity is recent, culturally based, and fundamentally flawed.

I hereby repudiate the concept that speaking of sex in a public setting is in any way indecent and declare my intention to openly post links and articles that speak positively of sex and sexual orientations and identities other than “straight” and cisgender.

In other words: Talking about sex isn’t inappropriate—not talking about sex is inappropriate. And if you don’t like it, get the hell off my blog.

Study finds casual sex isn't emotionally damaging -

A surprising new study reveals that casual sex may not cause emotional or psychological damage. Despite the pervasive belief that hooking up casually is detrimental to the well-being of young adults, researchers found that not to be the case in a recent study.

A surprising study? Really? Surprising to who, exactly? People generally have sex, whether casual or otherwise, because they want to. Doing things that you want to do is good for your emotional wellbeing, not bad.

The issue here isn’t sex, it’s communication (or the lack thereof); emotional issues arise not from casual sex, but from sex where one partner believes it’s casual and the other believes it’s not.

You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true.

You may have to work for it, however.
