I’m curious about what people would do if they had the opportunity to go off and learn things … so if you had the time and money to go and learn anything you wanted - anything - a skill, craft, profession - absolutely anything … what and why?

The cat wakes me ...
so I rise and zombie walk out of the bedroom with the cat running around my legs like a cross between a homing beacon and a car wash brush until I arrive at the food bowl … but there is food in there … so she continues to buff my ankles and guide me towards the back door. So i open the back door to let her out into the yard and it starts raining just as she takes her first step out....

Best fact I’ve learned all day. Also, Are you saying yours are green with big rocks inside?
If only you knew in how many ways this statement was accurate …

I love the portmaneau “agvocate”, and yet still read it as “avocado”, and imagine you as a large, green fruit. Which, I guess fits after all. ;^)
Did you know that avocado is the aztec word for teste?
I’m just saying I think I agree with you …

girl-non-grata asked: I recall once you posting that you don't believe in rape culture. But your recent posts against street harassment, slut shaming, and victim blaming seem to indicate otherwise. Did something change your mind? Or did you just not realize that those things are what rape culture is all about?

I try to avoid it ...
but people keep making me do it.
My main source of mortgage payments comes from the fact that I am employed as an Enterprise Solutions Architect … which these days is a real fancy title for Technical Design Document Writer. Or for the non corporate IT droids out there, I’m hired to be an Architect, but I tend to mostly write specification sheets for the builders.
I get the occasional...

Yesterday was a crappy day, but I want to highlight one thing that happened so more people can understand this situation. I was harassed by a man on a bicycle, at dusk, in a retail park on my way to the train station. I had my headphones on and was walking fast as I didnt want to be late for my dance class. I didnt hear him, but I could...

The secret to attracting someone?
Don’t.
Don’t change. Don’t try. Don’t act. Don’t give a fuck.
Do whatever you do. Dress however you dress. Act whichever way you are. Be whoever you are.
If they don’t like it, then they can leave … because they didn’t deserve you and you deserve nothing less than someone who wants you for you just the way you are.
There may not be soul mates,...

Is it wrong that I am over the protagonist of the series and just love this line because of it?

Me: ha! Poster threatening to give children away to the goblin king!
Her: Does it have David Bowie as the goblin king?
Me: ofcourse
Her: David Bowie as the goblin king was delicious
Me: what?
Her: I said labyrinth was a really good movie wasn't it?
Me: yes it was
Her: we have a copy at home don't we?
Me: we have two disc sets even
Her: That's how good it is!
I didn't ask for it ...
I wrote this back at the beginning of 2009 just as I was starting to … normalise? stabilise? … it’s never really recovery, though people would like to call it that … let’s just call it coming to terms with daily life with dysthemia and part of that was getting the shit off my chest …

Regarding the Ganesh peen
Why? Why would you allow someone to stick a sharp object anywhere near there? Let alone a piercing? Let alone for hours on end to inject ink into it?
I’m guessing peeing is an outdoor sport event ala lawn sprinklers
Peens tend to be one of two primary models - showers and growers. Obviously he is a grower. No idea if he gets the full ten to one conversion rate.
I repeat … why?

Thursday Philosophic
You cannot demand respect, consideration or equality for your group and not for everyone else.
You cannot expect to be treated fairly when you do not treat others the same.
Humans are really bad at equality. Like, unbelievably bad. They cannot meet in the middle. They can’t forgive. Don’t even suggest they forget. Revenge for past wrongs is a stronger driver than ensuring a current...

It makes sense
mnmal:
1 Kilometer = 1000 Meters 1/2 a Kilometer = 500 Meters 1 Meter = 100 Centimeters 1 Centimeter = 10 Millimeters
Water boils at 100 degrees celsius and freezes at 0 degrees celsius.
1 Ton = 1000 Kilograms 1 Kilogram = 1000 Grams 1/2 a Kilogram = 500 Grams
You get the point. Now, let’s check this:
1 Mile = 5280 Feet = 1760 Yards 1/2 a Mile = 2640 Feet = 880 Yards 1 Feet = 12...

Industrialized humans: We're going to bulldoze you.

Anonymous asked: You know it's easy to say things about booth babes when it's not you or your sex at issue. How would you feel about walking in to find men in spandex shorts wearing nothing but glitter paint on their abs? How about if the shorts were formfitting around their genitals? How will you feel when women rub themselves up all over them under the guise of taking photos? Then what if we have this...

I’m late to the party. I’ve been quietly seething about this issue since it all started at the last CES. Much ink was poured into it, and I fully expect my voice to be lost in the cacophony. But hear me out for a second. I’m not condoning Gary Shapiro’s dismissive and sexist stance. It’s pathetic and all too common, but I know we can’t change him, so my battle lies...
