May 2011
Of note over the next little while.
I will be moving. For the first time in a long, long time I will live in an apartment again. I’m kind of stoked about this. Third floor with balcony, charming view of an enormous hospital complex. Huge field in back in which to drink beer and play croquet.
My son will be playing in a real, live bar. I have to be there to, I don’t know, get drunk and watch him. It’s a legal...

Sorry bored rich white people, that isn't ableism.
When you carry it so far as to “be offended by” the use of the word ‘insane’ in an ironic sentence, you totally fail. You are so pompous and so bored and so need to get over yourselves. I believe discrimination against disabled people exists, and I oppose it, but you’re not helping matters by being complete fucking douche bags.

My cat hates me.
I put her jingle collar on today. Every Spring she hates me for about a week when I do this. She won’t even sleep with me. I have to do it, though. She’s a viscous little bitch and kills bunnies.

Shit, dougstumblr liked that music post.
He’s a banjo man par excellence. In fact, back in the 70s when I started following him (Tumblr was steam-powered in those days) it was cuz he talked about banjos.
I love banjos. I like how they’re a snare drum and a guitar, allatthesametime. I like how they have an odd amount of strings. I like especially how twangy they are.
I couldn’t do thing one with a banjo, however. Those...
dontfollowdanipantsless replied to your post: What is this weird obsession we humans have with defining things absolutely?

Marry me.

I see a lot of sexuality on Tumblr, and it is good: all of it. Porn rolls by on my dash on a constant basis, everything from “artistic nudes” to nipple clamps, but also posts talking about sexuality. I see a lot of posts explaining what pansexuality is, what bisexuality is, what homosexuality is, the differences and similarities. I even heard the word cissexuality. It sounded like a...

botanicazilla:
I hate undergrads. Most of them. They act like we (graduate teaching assistants) fucking LIVE for them. That we are only here to give a flying fuck about their petty bullshit. Maybe 1-2 out of 36 students actually gave a fuck about learning anything this semester. For the most part, they don’t study, can’t follow directions, and don’t care about anything but grades. They are...

Forever/eternity/infinity is the bitch that rules over all. If you take the 26 letters of the English alphabet and randomize them over and over and over again you will at some point produce all the works of Shakespeare. Given enough time—and forever is ample—how could you not? The exact combination of letters that are the works of Shakespeare will be achieved at some point. That’s not...

The Most American Thing
is the gun. Oddly, most Americans don’t have guns, but the gun is American like afternoon tea is English. We’re “sort of” ambivalent about guns. We think they may be bad, what with all the different people shooting each other like they do, but we’re not sure. The NRA (National Rifle Association) is the big gun lobby here in the U.S. It’s fucking BIG, too. Huge....

Opinions are weird things and clearly dangerous.
Often, the holder of an opposing viewpoint will use the classic ad hominem attack. This is where they are incapable or too lazy to address your thoughts/ideas/opinions and instead go after you as a person.
This is how many of the readers of this blog respond to me. It’s adorably sophomoric and cute, but basically chickenshit.
Usually they style it in the form of “You just need more...

He’s so excited, too. It’s really cute. Still, he may be fucked.
I don’t even really grasp the mechanics of writing a script. I mean, I can write. It’s all I do. I write like beautiful people fuck, but a script?
He wants us to make a movie and it sounds like lots of fun, but as “the writer” I get saddled with all the shit work ;)

25 minutes ago, Good Friday ended.
Good Friday is the day the religious authorities in collusion with the Roman government, nailed Jesus to the cross so that he could “die for me” because I am stained with “original sin”. This, of course, is bullshit. Self-loathing is always a key teaching in any religion. ANY religion, even Buddhism. The self is always a bad thing when it comes to religion, and not just bad...
creatrixtiara asked: Privilege is not about wealth. It's about being offered an easier way of living just by virtue of your gender, race, class, all sorts of situations. Look up Unpacking the White Knapsack for a starter.

so judging by the last line, i’m guessing your view of individualism has nothing to do with moral egoism. I AGREE!
I’m not sure what moral egoism is. Strikes me as a bit of a redundancy. The most “moral” among us are the most egotistical, the most certain of themselves, the most...

Boredom is just being sick of yourself, I think. I’m just sick of me. Nothing seems interesting to me right now because it would be ME experiencing it, so it automatically becomes no fun to do.

I don’t want to watch anything, not even Mythbusters or Project Runway
