I hope Rick Santorum tries to download the entire Mountain Goats discography and every file is corrupted.
I hope he goes to a show & sings along with “I hope I die” & JD sings back “I hope just you die” instead of “I hope we both die”.
THIS MEME IS THE BEST MEME

Haha what did she say?
omg. So this is a very close-to-what-she-actually-said quote: “I think wolves are afraid of fire. I remember reading in a book once about a guy who was stuck in the woods for some reason and he kept hearing the wolves and he knew they were hungry. The only thing that kept them away was his fire, and then when the fire went out,...

It is definitely not appropriate to bring up something you read about wolves in a fictional story during a class discussion in an ecology class.

Ecological models as human social models.
OMG, wouldn’t it be so cool if I used my ecological modeling skillz and modeled an anarchist uprising!? I could determine the exact parameters we’d need to succeed. I got the idea because this is a legit ecological model:
From this basic concept of the adaptive cycle, a second concept follows: a general theory of change in complex adaptive systems, referred to as panarchy(Gunderson et...

Aha!
So with the last of the extra car money we bought a vacuum! I tried it out today and IT’S SO GOOD IT SUCKS UP ALL THE CAT HAIR AND STUFF.
Before this, I was using a handheld vacuum on my hands & knees every weekend to clean the carpets.

I ended a friendship that meant a lot to me, because the other person has some pretty serious trauma/mental health issues going on.

I’m going to withhold any final judgment until I see conversations involving transabled people and disabled and transgender people who arent’ obviously biased against it.
I wouldn’t say I am biased against it, but some of those blog posts that people linked to before didn’t really sit with me well at all....

I still want to read some non-Tumblr, non-questionable internet blog things on “transableism” before I talk extensively about it though. There doesn’t seem to be a lot on it. I did find a book on Amazon but it was like $75 so… nope.

Well I know Lierre Keith doesn’t pretend trans people don’t exist. THAT would be an improvement :|
It’s true. It’s just, Derrick has not commented at all, but is pretty much bffs with Lierre, so I feel it’s safe to say that he holds the same viewpoint since he hasn’t actively refuted it...
