I am secretly a fulgar
It’s true.
Also, I am awesome. We mysteriously lost power on one wall in the main story of my mom’s house last night. Annoyingly, this was the wall with the modem plugged in—that was how I noticed in the first place. Today I replaced a very old GICI outlet and reset the power without once electrocuting myself.

I may be one of the most suggestible people in the world. It doesn’t even have to be an ad for me to think “hmmm, yes, I want to eat that.” I just walked past the living room where there was a clip on the news about the Obama family getting snow cones (how is that news?) and now I’m sitting here thinking GODDAMN, I WANT A SNOW CONE.

I’m 1 in 3. It’s inexplicable (except that it is very explicable).
IT'S TMI TUESDAY
So…I never really planned to use tumblr to blog stuff—just to follow blogs I like in a more convenient fashion. But that has changed because the more people I follow, the more I LOVE TUMBLR.
So. Ask?

reasons why I need therapy
I've been uninsured since April, which means talk therapy has been well out of my price range--the minimum sliding scale offered locally is about $50 a session, and I do best with at least once a week meetings.
Me, excited: And maybe the health insurance will make it affordable for me to get therapy!
My mom and brother: What? What do you need therapy for?
Uh, I dunno, maybe for a number of reasons, one of which is YOU QUESTIONING MY DESIRE FOR THERAPY. Fuck you.

TEN THINGS EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT RACE
adailyriot:
Our eyes tell us that people look different. No one has trouble distinguishing a Czech from a Chinese. But what do those differences mean? Are they biological? Has race always been with us? How does race affect people today?
There’s less - and more - to race than meets the eye:
1. Race is a modern idea. Ancient societies,...

Let’s look at the numbers and see what I mean. What is the average salary for a Wal-Mart associate (the label is such a joke in itself)? Maybe he or she earns $9.00 an hour. OK, let’s make it $10 an hour for argument sake. They work 40 hours, meaning a gross of $400 a week. Take out the approximately 7% for FICA and then federal withholding and the take home is what? About $300 a week, just for...

So I started packing a couple years ago. Not an every day thing—just the days I feel more boy than not, which are increasingly frequent as I really get comfortable with being non-cis. And I’m also in what feels like an interminably long-distance stage of my relationship with my girlfriend, so there’s travelling across continents at least once a year.
Packing was never so...

09340785902-deactivated20110312 asked: Kate Beaton is amazing. She knows history and literature very well and has a knack for making it hilarious through her comics. I feel like her webcomic isn't as popular as other comics (Questionable Content, Dinosaur Comics, A Softer World) in the TopatoCo network, which is a shame...her comics never fail to amuse me and Hark! A Vagrant is one of the few webcomics I follow regularly.
Tumblr is WAY easier than blogging. I think that’s why I have more posts on tumblr in a couple of months than I do in a year and a half of blogging.
Other thing I notice.

From following “Fuck Yeah Bisexuals!” for so long.
I see a ton of girls who will post and say “Yeah I’m bi, but I loooooove the ladies so much more! ;)”
I never see a girl saying they’re bi and prefer men. Or a guy saying they’re bi and prefer women.
Are these bisexuals afraid that if they admit liking the opposite gender more, they’ll be perceived as “faking it?” I understand...

If you imagine the 4,500-bilion-odd years of Earth’s history compressed into a normal earthly day, then life begins very early, about 4 A.M., with the rise of the first simple, single-celled organisms, but then advances no further for the next sixteen hours. Not until almost 8:30 in the evening, with the day five-sixths over, has Earth anything to show the universe but a...

It’s really quite simple. Now please...

HAPPY END OF CROWDED MALLS, RIDICULOUSLY LONG LINES, AND CRAZY HOLIDAY TRAFFIC DAY!
Thanks! Now if only somewhere was open so I could buy eggs… I think it’s going to be a Very Jewish Christmas, complete with Chinese food and the movies.
My brother has a hook-up with one of the local Chinese food places that ends in free food. Excited!
