Best friend of the year award goes to the kid who made this happen.
The power of Reddit, being used for good.
Okay, this restores a tiny bit of my faith in humanity, both for the kid who made it happen and for the author who willingly helped out.
The next time I have a hankering for sci-fi, I know who I’m reading. No, you’re weeping.
yeah, I...

I have so much to tell you. Please, put on the kettle. There will be some dynamic uteruses in town this week.
I just got back from Austin and arrived to Amy Everhart in my house and am now headed to get Shira Erlichaman and Angel Nafis from the airport. Dirt Choir has…

I am so fucking ANGRY right now. Because Oklahoma lawmakers are trying to return to “the way we were.” In one of, seriously, the stupidest bills to pass the OK Senate in…oh, two years.I just AHHHHH! And I seriously wish I were gonna be back home this weekend so I could attend this fabulous conference to…you know…overturn this BULLSHIT! But you, lovely people who...

Okay. Guys. Guys. Two things.
1) I’m a martial artist. I’ve been studying since I was seven. I wouldn’t even hesitate to say that I’m good at it. I have done work as a fight choreographer for film, and I am trained in stage combat as well.
2) I’m a contortionist. Yes. Again, since…

News9 used parts of my poem, To The Oklahoma Lawmakers, in their 10 o’clock news report last night. Totally an honor. It was interesting how they didn’t mention it was a poem or that it was on youtube but was really cool to see it weaved into a story like this. Plus, Rep. Mike Reynolds looked like a total moron. “Most Oklahomans believe that life begins at conception....

Let’s take back our tags! Meaning post yourself being yourself, without any exotifying pretense and tag the hell out of your post. (I originally said Wednesday, Feb 22nd but fuck it, let’s start now!)
I got really upset/annoyed/raging when I opened the Latina tag for the 10th time only to find exotified/fetishizing images of naked Latinas posted by white men.
Now nudity is great,...

This is ridiculous. Thirty four of these Oklahoma senators do not understand basic human biology. A pregnancy does not begin at conception (when the sperm fertilizes the egg). It take several days, sometimes up to a week, for pregnancy to take place. After the sperm fertilizes the egg (if it even does), it needs to attach to the uterine wall. If the fertilized egg does not...

The Proposal
tomyhusband:
You will not make a public spectacle of asking to marry me or I will say no just to fuck with you on general principle.
One Ply Toilet Paper
tomyhusband:
Are you nuts? Take that shit back, I’m not wiping my ass with sandpaper just because it was on sale.
If/when we live together, he will be informed of this…promptly. Right now it’s not my place. but soon….soon. (by soon I mean like..3-5 yrs.)
As you wish
tomyhusband:
Every once in a while, I’m gonna turn to you out of the blue and say “Farm boy, fetch me that pitcher.” You’d better know the proper response.
I wonder how the man would react to this…
it still upsets me. →
Learning From History: My Mother's Journey
such a moving story. Please read, if you do nothing else today!
ok4rj:
In the spirit of Black History Month, I’d like to share a story from my family’s history. My Mother is the fifth child of eight born to sharecroppers in South Carolina. She came down with rheumatic fever in elementary school, which resulted in her staying inside reading books while her siblings and parents worked the farm....
