When it snows, that does not mean drive as...
I mean, really? I got on facebook this morning and literally every story from a news source started with “person injured/person dies/in a traffic accident”. Or simply, “slide off slide off slide off”.
I’m not blaming those who were in a multi-car wreck and died. It is truly sad when someone dies—no matter how. Chances are, the other people on the road are...
“Sex is not spiritual. There is no god present when I kiss someone, no goddess...”
– Why Sex Is Not Spiritual - San Francisco Arts - The Exhibitionist (via fetters)
Of course sex CAN be spiritual but not for everyone and it always bugs me when people use the “sex is spiritual” argument for only having sex in committed relationships. Which for me is kind of a weird argument because...

Worst analogy ever.
First of all: Not everyone who can get pregnant is a woman. Not everyone who pays for the well-being of children are men.
Secondly: Pregnant people don’t just pop babies out and then hand them over to men to take care of them. Those same people often do a whole lot of work when it comes to the actual care of said...
You May Say I'm a Dreamer...: The "R" Word and why... →

I’m sure we all know which word I’m referring to. Yes, the infamous “r” word—AKA “retarded”.
I’m guilty of saying things such as, “wow, that’s so retarded.” ”You’re a retard.” And so on. I’ve given up using this word as a synonym for stupid over 2 years ago.
Why is it so offensive to use this…
uh wait what
“lame” isn’t an okay word to use...

Since our economy is doing better than it has in...
and we’re finally moving out of this recession—I’d say Obama isn’t doing too bad.
I still believe he is not experienced enough to run this country. I think most of the criticisms he faces is because he is black—not because he is a terrible president. Not to mention his left-winged nature. I hear he has received more death threats than any other president.
So...

Blah blah, more Whitney Houston.
People are complaining about the flag being lowered for her. I get what they’re saying. However, they also feel it is necessary to demean her because of the battle she faced with not only addiction but an abusive relationship.
Instead of dwelling on the negative, think about what she did. She instilled hope in the African American community—a population that tends to live in...

Read this and tell me what's fucked up about it... →
Other than the obvious—the woman shot her two kids and then killed herself over food stamps. But read on—the woman was obviously troubled. She moved to Texas (her first mistake) in order to redeem her life. Yet, her and her two children remained homeless—begging for food.
The government DENIED her and her children food stamps. How fucked up is that? She’s homeless,...
Oh dear...
I dreamt that I was taking advantage of my boyfriend (on the lift table at work of all places…) I woke up, and I was really taking advantage of him. Seems to happen a lot—dream sex equals real sex. I know they say that having sex with someone while they’re sleeping is rape, but how I see it—If I’m enjoying it and he’s enjoying it, then fuck...

To everyone complaining about being "alone" on...
You are not alone. You have friends and family who love you. Love is not exclusive to people in intimate relationships. Love is universal. This day is meant to celebrate all the love and all the people in your life.
So instead of wishing you weren’t alone, remember that you’re not.

Since when is there only one way to express grief?
This rant brought to you by TV—True Blood, Dexter, and crime solving shows on Discovery.
In season 1 of True Blood, Sookie’s grandma is murdered. People “say” over and over, “she hasn’t even cried.”
Season 5 of Dexter, Quinn says “the neighbor is more broken up than Dexter is” and they all give him shit about not showing emotion while he is...
Today sucks.
It started off fine. I woke up around 11:30, stayed in bed til about noon with my boyfriend, and then I left to go get McDonalds for lunch. Because of people who cannot drive or see for that matter, I never made it to McDonalds—nor do I have a car.
Some lady pulls off a side street as fast as she can and nailed the back end of my car. She spun me around and down the street about 200...

So I follow the local news stations on Facebook to keep up with current Grand Rapids events. What bothers me most is the fact that there are always people posting negative remarks about EVERY story they cover.
A car accident happens and someone is killed—someone says something about “shouldn’t be texting and driving,” “they were drunk,” etc…What’s...

Seriously, Breaking Dawn?
climax, climax, climax…done.
Where’s the end where the plot evens out from the climax?
It’s like really great sex with no snuggling afterward.
Thanks for leaving me with hypothetical blue balls.

RIP Whitney.
Whitney Houston was a legend. Her voice…I don’t even know what to say about it.
However, her death was not so unexpected. She had an addiction. An addiction to what is quite possibly the most deadly drug out there—crack cocaine. I believe it’s this fact that makes her death all the more devastating (for me anyway). Her addiction destroyed everything that made her...
What's so wrong with expressing concern over...
Apparently by expressing my concern to my sister about how I feel regarding our relationship makes me child. I need to grow up and stop crying about it.
So does expressing my concern really warrant an attack on my maturity level? I personally don’t think so. We used to be so close. We’d talk on the phone every day. My sister used to be one of my best friends.
Now, when I see her...
Anonymous asked: Just wanted to let you know that I have learning disabilities including a visual processing disorder and I really want to read your blog but the background is causing me physical pain and I can't look at it for long. It makes it really really hard to read. It's up to you if you want to change it of course, I just wanted to point out that it's really not accessible for me.
Immigrant denied kidney transplant
damegreywulf:
From Change.org:
“Jesus Navarro could die without a kidney transplant. His wife is a match, she wants to donate her kidney to save her husband’s life, and Jesus even has health insurance to cover the transplant.
But because Jesus is undocumented, the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) Medical Center is refusing to perform surgery, essentially leaving Jesus to...
Anonymous asked: Although my psychiatrist says he's unable to diagnose schizophrenia, I do have and have experienced many of the symptoms associated with this disease, hallucinations, extreme paranoia, extreme delusions to name three and often feel like different people in one body.

uponeoctave asked: That schizophrenia joke really bothers me too. That's not even what schizophrenia is! And l have watched almost every schizophrenia movie (or claiming to be schizophrenia) out there. The one that really made me mad was Me, Myself, & Irene. You can tell by the title that it's more likely DID. good job, miss, well said.

A joke that makes me want to pull my hair out.
Brace yourself for this one:
“Roses are red, violets are blue. I’m schizophrenic, and so am I.”
How is that funny? I’ll tell you why it’s not funny—at all. As a mental health fanatic, I’m going to tell you why this is the stupidest and most irritating joke in the world.
What is schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, and disabling brain...

White people can't dance...
No, that’s not true—I’ve been known to boot, scootin’ boogie all over the dance floor. But that’s beside the point.
The point is, stereotypes are so stupid. ”Black people are lazy” “Mexican’s steal things” “Asian people are really smart” “Gay men are rapists” “Homeless people are drug...
Finally.
Done with third shift and time to sit back, relax, and enjoy this extra long weekend of mine.

I have never been in so much pain in my life..
well, maybe I’m over-exaggerating. But really. My back, my stomach, my knees. They all feel like someone is crushing them with a 500 lb boulder.
I need to go to sleep.
Sorry, shower…we’ll play later.

On a brighter note---
LESS THAN 2 MONTHS UNTIL OPENING DAY OF BASEBALL SEASON!!!
Tigers have acquired Prince Fielder—a great, and much needed addition to their lineup. Brandon Inge, sadly, will be on the bench most of the season (he’s my favorite—clearly not for his batting skills). Victor Martinez is out for the season—not a good loss for Detroit. Miguel Cabrera has been moved to third...

Violence doesn’t solve SHIT.
I was on my way to the mall today to visit my favorite store (Victoria’s Secret in case you were wondering…), and imagine my surprise when I saw a couple of girls outside the mall beating the hell out of each other. They were throwing punches, pulling hair (I literally saw weave flying through the air), and throwing each other into traffic (and yes,...

As many of you may know, I’ve recently switched from the Depo Provera shot form of birth control to Levora which is an off brand pill regiment where I take 9 weeks of the pill followed by one week of a sugar pill to have a decreased period. This kind of birth control is used to treat chronic PMS and horrible periods, as well as being an effective birth control. While I was...

If I gave up everything "anti-feminist"...
I would be giving up pretty much everything in my life. My favorite TV shows, movies, magazines, etc.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not willing to give up my favorite things because they’re “anti-feminist”.
Does this make me any less of a feminist? Hell no. If you disagree, go ahead and let me know—not that I really care. But telling me I’m...
Internet is back on...finally.

You know what bothers me?
When someone says, “I’m not homophobic, but….” or “I’m not racist, but….”
That “but…” usually implies prejudice.
For example—one that I hear a lot is, “I’m not homophobic, but I don’t want lesbians hitting on me.” Uhm…that’s the base of homophobia. You’re scared that another woman...
Anonymous asked: Of course not. You'll just petulantly insist you're right no matter how many people with actual experience tell you you're full of it.
Anonymous asked: Could you act more like a melodramatic teenager? It's so edgy. You don't know anything about those labels because you haven't lived under them. You experience them from a position of superiority.
Anonymous asked: And don't talk about high- and low-functioning like you have any idea what those labels mean. You don't.
Anonymous asked: Your friend is 8. Don't use children for a conversation about sexual consent. And it's disabled people, not "people with disabilities."
