New Years
The same every year. I know the key to my happiness is to be mindful. If I make myself think about my actions I make much better ones.
Here’s to six years without alcohol and a future sobriety*.

Lawrence v Texas involved two dudes having sex at 10:30 at night in 2003 and a police officer who entered the house gun drawn responding to a neighbor’s false report of gunshots or some shit.
They were arrested for gay ass sex and ultimately fined “ $200 each (out of a maximum fine of $500 each), plus $141.25 in court costs.”
The supreme court decided that...

Hateration
The Iowa Caucus doesn’t matter. I wish news organizations would stop polling the public. I’d prefer a world without statistics to this abuse.
I’d also like for the chattering class to realize that undecided voters aren’t more discerning, they’re just less interested.
I am so ready for this freak show of a primary to be over and it hasn’t even started yet.

Anonymous asked: I think condoms should be worn in porn because of example. Like any form of media, porn has power and therefore responsibility. Just as porn should be respectful to women, queer folks, trans* folks, etc... it should also be safe. Safe and sex-positive. That is the influence I would like to see porn have on its viewers, as porn does greatly influence what people expect from sex. Its hard to get a...
Anonymous asked: I'm curious why you think it shouldn't be a law that people must wear condoms while doing porn? I don't really have a formed opinion on the matter, and am curious on your stance.

A lot of people don’t realize that I’m Latina, which is fine. One thing about being Latina is that there isn’t one look that comes with the territory. I don’t expect people to know my cultural background just by glancing at me. I do, however, expect that when I tell people my family is from Puerto Rico, that I will be believed and not accused of trying to be something that I’m...

are you Australian? we already had ours, last summer bananas were super expensive and hard to get. are you saying there will be more of this?

I found this prediction from 2003 that we’re going to have a new banana famine by 2013. The coming banana famine is real and it happening next year would really add to the doom and gloom of everything.

A federal court panel today upheld the Democratic-drawn redistricting of Illinois’ congressional boundaries, rejecting a Republican challenge that contended the new map was illegal.
The court agreed with the GOP complaint that the map “was a blatant political move to increase the number of Democratic congressional seats,” according to the decision by U.S. District Court Judges Joan Lefkow...

I don’t like this adjective at all… there’s so many kinds of cheese. But moving on, I’ve since looked up what vernix caseosa looks like.
