This picture makes me homesick: Nothing strange about homesickness, except, well I’ve never had a home like that. Yes, I know it’s a tent. And no, I am not saying I want to live outdoors. I didn’t spend anytime outdoors until my late teen years. Part of becoming an adult was learning that I liked [...]
This is such a great post on sexuality. It’s deep, dense and real. I don’t know the writer, but the blog, Bi radical is articulating what a lot of people are feeling: Before I write - a disclaimer: this post contains criticism of the non-bisexual-identified transgender community and discourse.

Technically, I think this is safe for work… I don’t know how to credit this image properly. I follow Queen Takes Night on Tumblr and this is the imagery posted most often. I haven’t seen anything else like it. And yesssss it makes me happy. It’s not easy to walk the line of a switch. [...]

This is a great point by point takedown of pseudo-science used as fear-mongering. Humans are not prairie voles. We are not guinea pigs or mice. We're humans. Pop science loves to trot out research on rodents to confirm or challenge behavioral assumptions. But what the writers often miss is that our behaviors are shaped by [...]
[ted id=1042] I have so much to say about this talk, this woman, but really, it’s all amazing. And I am just so grateful.
“There’s no bad reason to love someone.” - Stephen Elliot from The Daily Rumpus email “Rumblings” 02/06/11. Is that the proper way to cite an email? Where are my damn handbooks… now which one is appropriate for a personal blog? APA, Chicago or MLA? Fuck it. I’m being too sensitive, I know. But if you’d [...]
Ever read something so honest, it makes your heart hurt? Once upon a time while roaming the great wilds of the internets, I found this blog. And the voice sounded real to me. Real in a way that not too many writers can convince me of. I can’t quantify it, can barely qualify it, but [...]
