picked a handful of violets in my name

Rather energy-consuming weekend for me. I went to a munch Saturday night (although I showed up a bit late because I'd been sitting in the dark waiting for some tylenol to kick in, and I left early to get groceries). And then on Sunday I met up with Lorraine in JP and we headed up to Cambridge for Safe/Ward. After getting some ice cream, smelling all the things at Lush, and scoping out used cookbooks, we arrived early at the Democracy Center because Lorraine had volunteered to help out. I also wound up volunteering, helping out, etc., just because I was there. The workshop was very productive, and afterward, I spent three hours in a food court with a small group of people just continuing our conversation.

And now some more tylenol and sleep. My knee is unhappy again; I guess it's not as healed as I thought it was. :(

First round of bleach is done; it's been months since I redid my roots and I decided to move some of my purple around. So everything is hideous right now! I'll let it dry, run a comb through it, and see where needs more bleach. Then (depending on how late I want to stay up/how early I want to get up tomorrow) purple! And probably black to cover up a few sections of retired purple and any bleach oopsies.

Quizzical Pussy: Be little.

Think you’re better than one fucking person on this planet? Feel innately more correct, important, or that you occupy a moral high ground over any one group of people based on sex, age, weight, race, religion or lack thereof, sexual identity, orientation, or, hell, political affiliation? Bless your heart, all toddlers think they’re the center of the universe! You’re just a tiny bit behind, darling. Once you grow up a little you’ll let go of that and be a normal, healthy person.

It’s not being condescending. It’s being optimistic.

Figleaf's Real Adult Sex: Logical But Not Necessarily Intuitive: Boundaries and Consent Go Both Ways

Bottom line: We don’t usually think of boundaries and consent as moving in the direction of the top, or in heterosexual relationships as working towards the man. But boundaries are boundaries and consent is consent and when they’re confronted it’s important that they be respected regardless of who’s boundaries they are or who’s consent is required.

The Pervocracy: No and no and no and yes.

I do this for regular sex, too. If I can say that no, we're not raw-dogging it; no, you're not sneaking it up my ass; no, you really have to stop when I say stop; then I can say "yes" to the sex itself. Limits may feel all limity, but within those limits, some fucking hot sex can happen. Without limits, you're not allowed in my house, much less my vagina.

IKEA Hackers: Makeup vanity for small spaces

My bedroom isn't very large so I needed a small makeup vanity. I'm the type that likes to see all my makeup because if I don't see it, I won't use it.

commodorified: Found Goodness

The Prophet, peace and blessing upon him, said:

"Help your brother, whether he be an oppressor or one of the oppressed."

Some said "O Messenger of God, we help him if he is oppressed; but how can we help him if he is an oppressor?"

The Prophet said, "By stopping him."

sassbandit: Bandom-related articles about audio engineering and production

So I was digging around in the archives of Mix Magazine which is a trade magazine for audio engineers, and thought some of the following articles might be of interest to bandom folks:

melannen: AWESOME!!!

...So the other day I did that Dinosaur Comics fanart where they have feathers?

And Ryan North, creator of Dinosaur Comics, found out about it somehow, and he went back in the archives and has posted an alternate, scientifically accurate version of the comic starting at the beginning.

azurelunatic: WICKED PRETTY THINGS: My $0.37

Editing my stories as I did was an act of self-erasure: sometimes necessary to survive, but not okay, never okay, merely the lesser of two evils. Pretending that the world only contains straight people is not okay. Teaching your children that the world only contains straight people is not okay. It is a denial of that-which-is, a denial of c'thia. Treating any mention of same-sex romance as inherently more sexually explicit than an equivalent action of an opposite-sex couple is not okay. Trying to pretend that the only possible ethical instance of human sexual behavior is for reproduction is not okay. Teaching your children that is not okay either.

While I am still theoretically AFK, C. is playing video games so I'm online. Heh.

We've watched The Guild, Dr. Horrible (again), and Stranger Than Fiction. Yesterday, we saw Scott Pilgrim (and I suspect we might wind up seeing it again). Plus, you know, hanging out and stuff. :)

C. and I are getting dinner with some more of his friends tonight. I still need to call my relatives and make plans with them.
