ME Posed For Second Vote on Marriage Equality →
There's nothing wrong with sex, people.
- Having sex every day. - Saving sex for your wedding night. - Never having sex. - Having sex with different people. - Having sex with one person. - Having sex with a person of your same gender. - Loving sex. - Hating sex. - Being loud. - Being quiet.
The only thing wrong with sex?
When it’s not consensual.
Because that’s not sex. That’s rape.
I really wish more people understood this.

History Keeps Pulling Me Down
I’m gonna leave my body (moving up to higher ground)
I’m gonna lose my mind (my history keeps pulling me down)
Maybe I don’t need to be told I need therapy so I can work on my issues.
Maybe what I need is your full attention. Maybe what I need is for you to ask me what’s wrong and then to give me time to answer. Because maybe what I really want right now is to TALK, but...

Ok, normally I would readily co-sign on the “what a horrible system!” side of the argument, but I don’t think I can this time.
My mother used to be a corrections officer and I’ve heard countless stories from her about incarcerated men masturbating and then throwing their semen (or at least attempting to throw their semen) at the officers, in particular the...

You know what’s “hand-built”? That Play-Doh Stonehenge I made when I was five. Habitat For Humanity homes. The Pyramids, if you don’t believe those Ancient Alien guys on the History Channel.
You know what’s not “hand-built”? A scoop of tuna salad on a croissant. Hell, that’s not even hand-made.

Dear Newt Gingrich:
A point about the meaning of “bias.” During your time as Speaker of the House, you villianized, excoriated, and lead the charge to impeach President Clinton because he had an affair with a member of his staff—while, at the same time, YOU were ALSO having an affair with a member of your staff.
Now you’re a Presidential candidate.
It is not...

Worried about Internet censorship? Want to stop illegal piracy but think forcibly shutting down massive websites (like Google, Wikipedia, Facebook, and YouTube) based on an individual user’s content is a bad idea? Think that it’s a bad idea to give our government complete control over which websites you can visit? Think the way China and Iran censor their citizens’ access to the...

Revenge Is A Dish Best Served ... Itchily? →
Crab Revenge. The name basically says it all. If you’re still not sure what we’re talking about here, the company’s tag line is: “Yes, we sell revenge in a vial and yes, we’re proud of it.”
Media and legal attention has somewhat stifled their ability to be 100% honest with their consumers. The vials, which start at $20 (and peak at the $50 F...
