Books 2012, 1 & 2
All I’ve actually finished this year is two of the Dresden Files novels. Blood Rites and Dead Beat (which I just finished) I enjoyed ‘em. They’re a fun light read. The characters are believable, full of human frailty, doubt, pain and hesitation, but they also have strengths and such, making it easy enough to identify with someone, regardless of who you are. The main character,...

Miniar: Why I respect that otherkin haven’t met the systematic oppression that trans* people have, I still think that in some situations, it is almost impossible to explain a non-human identity without comparing it to being queer.
I have never needed to draw any such comparison to explain a non-human identity. Can you provide an example of such a situation?

damegreywulf asked: Oh, no, sorry, you misunderstood me. I was saying that for everyone reading the post to further your point, not to contradict it. I didn't mean for it to come off as a contradiction I just wanted everyone to make sure the kid's wide awake. I should have added that because he would be awake that means that he can't possibly not remember it - you don't forget traumatic pain no...

Ugh. My brain won’t switch off - again. I am so sick of this, I was fine (okay) all holidays and now, the week before school starts, sleep has gone back to being a nightmare.

If I drug you with something which makes sure that you won’t remember a thing afterwards, does that make it okay for me to torture you for an hour, leaving permanent marks upon your body, without any warning, let alone consent?
no?

Contrary to myth, Christianity’s concept of marriage has not been set in stone since the days of Christ, but has constantly evolved as a concept and ritual.
Prof. John Boswell3, the late Chairman of Yale University’s history department, discovered that in addition to heterosexual marriage ceremonies in ancient Christian church...

Jules Manson, a regular contributor to Ron Paul’s website and facebook, wrote in a facebook post, “Assassinate the f#@#en n-word and his monkey children.”
In unrelated news, Ron Paul is now the Republican frontrunner. That’s not a joke. He actually is.
Why do we spend our nights on tumblr.?
( ) Because we have no social life.
( ) Because our friends don’t call us to get out.
(x) Because we are too sexy to the world outside & mere mortals don’t deserve to breathe the same air as we do.

What Planned Parenthood Actually Does
feministblackboard:
Conservatives are fond of willfully ignorant statements like: Our tax dollars shouldn’t go to abortion, so Planned Parenthood should have its funding stripped. We all know this is a lie. The information to debunk this claim is widely and readily available. Aside from the three percent of PP’s budget that goes to abortion care (and that 3% is privately funded, duh), PP’s wide...
"it isn't about you, your fee-fees or your...
This is a statement one often sees in debates regarding equality. It’s a retort used by people of colour, gender and sexuality minorities or women, or a member of some marginalized group to tell a person who doesn’t belong to that particular marginalized group to, well, fuck off.
This statement does bother me however.
See, it’s somehow implied with this statement that a...

Too Much Dashboard!
I’m sorry, but I just can’t keep up, so I have to take some ppl off my watch list. It’s not personal and I’m trying to take off ppl who I haven’t talked to a lot. This doesn’t mean I don’t like you guys anymore, it just means I just can not keep up!

ScienceDaily (Nov. 12, 1998) — Many studies have identified a strong link between suicide and diagnosable mental illness, especially depression. So because women suffer from depression at a much higher rate than men, they would seem to be at higher risk for suicide. But women actually commit suicide about...

One of the most dangerous ways Homosexuality invades family life is through popular music. Parents, please keep careful watch over your children’s listening habits. Especially in this age of Internet mp3 piracy.

BBC - The report by an independent commission said Catholic officials had failed to tackle the widespread abuse at schools, seminaries and orphanages.
But the report also found that one in five children who attended an institution suffered abuse - regardless of whether it was Catholic.

I do want to point out that there are circumstances in which locally grown does not leave less of a carbon footprint, and it depends on the crop, soil and shipping model. Also, interesting fact… where I live the soil is geologically young because of glacial action….

toburnbright asked: Been trying to keep social commentary off my blog, so not reblogging the vegan conversation, but... um, I'm pretty sure farming - the stuff that provides all those fruits and veggies and grains - is far more destructive of habitat than raising livestock. Requires more space, more terraforming (irrigation, cutting down trees, draining marshes, etc). So how does being vegan leave a smaller...

onlyyoucanhelpyourself asked: also, from a nutritional stand point, do you know how much protein you need in a day and how much you are consuming? I'm just curious because most people do not seem to know specifically when they argue that point of eating meat for protein~ It's common that many people assume meat is their source of protein when actually it provides too much protein.
