Let's explore euphemisms! Yay!
Today’s entries: LOW INCOME, POVERTY LEVEL
These bloodless phrases were adopted by the U.S. government following the 1970 Census, which showed an alarming increase in the percentage of poor people making up the U.S. population. This percentage has increased every census, but by calling the poor LOW INCOME, we have found it easier to not really help them. Another way of dealing with poor...

In a few days, I will go electronic. An e-book in all formats will be available for Early Onset of Night, Volume One, as well as for Note To Self, Cold Dead Hands, and several other longer works. Disengaging myself from Amazon (Kindle only!) was the best idea ever. Anyway, Volume One will always be available in tangible form. Currently you can get it signed and personalized or directly from the...
And another discussion ensues.
Sorry, people, but men’s rights are bullshit. This has been a patriarchal society from day one and only now are cracks appearing in that foundation.
This is a good thing.
The world is the way it is and it has been controlled and guided by men. You see this world? It was not made by women. Nor, I might add, was it made by children. Adults, mainly adult men, are responsible for the state of...

Men's rights: What a massive pile of steaming...
I can’t even believe those two words have been put together. As far as I can make out, the people who “support” men’s rights are whiny little bitches, jealous because their supposed superiority is now in question. Grow a pair.

Isn't it odd that to live we have to kill?
Many vegetarians choose the path because they don’t want to hurt animals, and I’m right there with them. I don’t want to hurt animals either. I don’t even kill bugs. If they are in my house and the weather is warm, I catch them and put them outside, even flies. If it’s cold, they get to live here with me—unless they’re black widows. They go in the shed,...

I don't really believe there are Christians
You may or may not know, but I’ve been reading the Gospels. I read through them once earlier and now I’m studying them, along with the New Testament.
No, I’m not a “Christian”. I’m just fascinated with Jesus.
So anyway, I’ve been having fun learning about what Jesus actually taught and how Paul, later on in the New Testament, altered it, even...

I basically can't watch porn anymore unless...
I’m tired of boring porn. Giant, clear plastic stripper shoes? Oh, how unusual. On a table/floor/desk? Never saw THAT before. Over a railing? Up against a urinal? In an uncomfortable chair? Snoozers!
And the girl screaming like her hair’s on fire? Good thing I have MUTE. Gimme the twisted, bizarre sounds of heavy breathing and soft talking.
Rough sex is so 2004. It bores the living...

Are there any real people left on Twitter?
I have a Twitter, but it’s just a feed for my Tumblr, so it’s basically on autopilot. I rarely go there and have only directly Tweeted maybe four times in the past year. The whole 120 characters things gets to me. I got shit to say. When I first checked out Twitter, I was like “Oh, this where all the old people are.” The social network for the married with children set. I...

“American writers ought to stand and live in the margins, and be more dangerous.”
– Don DeLillo (via wordpainting)
Most American writers are salesmen, and just as smarmy.

It must be horrible to not know,
to not be able to walk or to stand, to not recognize the faces that look upon you with love. it must be horrible to have been human once, full of laughter and rage and sadness, full of memory and thought and future. Life is not like a box of chocolates. It’s not like anything at all, not like anything we can imagine, or everything we can imagine, or a hole full of darkness growing,...
What if my tea is radioactive?
It comes from Japan…Shizuoka Prefecture, to be exact. Ahhhhh! The stuff I got now is from before the earthquake but it’s about time to order some more. Me without tea is like a mountain man without his mountain.

Trigger warning: critical thought
My posts require a warning.
I’m not speaking of it anymore. I AM privileged. And if you’re reading this, so are you.
Being female is not a weakness no matter how you spin it to me, and being male is not a crime no matter how angry you are. Unfollow me. Yell in my ask box. I am done with the topic.
It is SOLVED.
That guy.
I hung out with my sister Brandi, who’s totally awesome. Also, she wants YOU to know that she has the prettiest feet of all—haha. Inside joke.
We watched movies, drank, ate donuts. It was fun. The movies we watched always had the same guy in them. The reasonable one who didn’t believe.
A door would slam violently for no reason. “It’s the wind!” Pots and pans...
cshelmick replied to your post: Sick of this privilege shit.
Tell me what you consider privilege. Curious as to your side of it.
Discussing privilege on the internet is privilege.
I understand that things are not exactly fair here in Paradise, but not recognizing that you’re in Paradise is privilege.
Whenever, I hear the word privilege, I think in global terms for some reason.

Sick of this privilege shit.
I see a lot of shit on here lately about ‘privilege’. Usually it’s directed at us white males. We can go for a walk after dark and not be terrified. You can too, ladies. You just live in the wrong place. If I lived in a huge shithole of a city, I’d be scared to go for a walk as well. But whatever. You live in America, where food is so cheap we struggle to not get...

Thank you so much for your kind words and condolences. My grandmother had a full and complete life, though it is still sad to see her go. I am glad that I got to dance with her at Christmas, and I am glad that it made me feel the way it did. I wish that all people, myself and you included, could have a life so full and complete, and I mean that sincerely. Death is always a sad event, but only a...

Love
“Write a short piece (your weapon of choice: poem, story, scene from a play, dialogue, soliloquy, etc.) conveying your own definition of “love.” But there’s a catch: you may not use the word itself in your piece (nor any easy synonyms either!). Not even once.”
This is a prompt from Letters For Burning, btw. I call this: At The Park There Was This Great Big Play Area Made Out of...

Jesus
did not mention, much less condemn homosexuality. Often, Matthew, beginning at 19:4, is cited by those who condemn gay people, but this passage is about divorce, not sexuality. Additionally, Jesus goes on to say that we are not bound by it, saying in 19:11, “Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those to whom it is given….Let anyone accept this who can.” This implies choice to me, and...

How do we forgive our fathers?
How do we forgive our Fathers? Maybe in a dream Do we forgive our Fathers for leaving us too often or forever when we were little?
Maybe for scaring us with unexpected rage or making us nervous because there never seemed to be any rage there at all.
Do we forgive our Fathers for marrying or not marrying our Mothers? For Divorcing or not divorcing our Mothers?
And shall we forgive them for...

The Beatles Anthology has, oh I don't know, 46...
I’m slowly making my way through it. There’s a metric and a standard shitload of information. What did Ringo have for breakfast on the morning of November 8th, 1967? Let’s talk about it for twelve minutes. Why did John refuse to clip his toenails during the summer of ‘69? Here’s some in-depth analysis, featuring various dipshits in ties and cardigans.
However, I have...

Reporting people doesn't do shit.
iammyownnothing:
This guy was being obnoxious as fuck, and he kept pointing out girls at school and asking me if I would fuck them, and if he could watch.
He kept asking me if he could watch and record my girlfriend and I having sex, too. Which is just fucking ridiculous.
I told him to fuck off, but he wouldn’t leave me alone. He told me that I wasn’t a ‘fun lesbian’ and that someone should...

Tao Te Ching, Chapter One
The way that can be walked is not the ever-abiding Way Nor is the way that can be discoursed or described The name that can be applied is not the ever-abiding Name Nothingness defines All, it is the source of the Universe itself Being defines the myriad things, and is their mother Be without desire and intent to perceive the subtlety and wonder of the Way But retain them to perceive its...

FOOOOD!
Went to the store and got me some fennel. Also, mangoes, onions, black-eyed peas, rice, spinach (did I mention I’m sort of a health nut?). Et cetera.
Yeah. Gonna cook me some supper. Look how fascinated you guys are! :)
A man in the produce section was looking longingly at the bananas and his wife told him “No. Remember your diet.”
The fuck?
If you’re on a diet that...
