Fall in love with me, you sweet, strange, and clever boy.
I’m not a boy.
I am the fruiting body of an alien fungus, deceptively formed. I might look harmless, but it’s a ruse. Get too close to me and you risk inhaling an infectious spore that will slowly eat away at your humanity and erode your sense of self, of purpose, of reality.
(Damn, Southern Reach really messed me up.)
There’s a fungus among us.
when I leave Oregon I’ll be Oregone

Commonly called narrow-leafed campion, S. stenophylla is an extant species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae.
Its seeds and fruits dating back to the last Ice Age were excavated from fossil burrows of an Arctic species of ground squirrel (Urocitellus parryii).

Man, i love science.
What they didnt realise is the titanic struggle the Neanderthals fought to wipe out the stenophylia, to stop it preying upon their young - a struggle that sadly led to the extinction of both species. Now it’s back …..
M. Night Shalyman is working on the sequel: The Happening 2 - The Happenstance.
Aston Martin DB9 GT Bond Edition, 2015. To celebrate over 50 years of Aston Martin-driving James Bonds and previewing the release of Spectre, the latest James Bond film, a special edition of 150 cars based on the DB9 GT. The 6.0-litre V12-engined grand tourer features unique Spectre Silver paint; sterling silver Aston Martin badges front and rear; and discreet ‘007 Bond Edition’ exterior badging
This is a nice machine, although rather samey/derivative. (Honda, Tesla, Jaguar.)
And anyone driving the 007 special has to get POSING TOSSER tattooed on his/her forehead.
Sorry. Them’s the rules.

Oh my cawd.
To donate, Eric had to pass a 109-point clinical assessment. There is a laundry list of factors that would disqualify a donor: obesity, illicit drug use, antibiotic use, travel to regions with high risk of contracting diseases, even recent tattoos. His stools and blood also had to clear a battery of laboratory screenings to make sure he didn’t have any infections. After all that screening, only 3 percent of prospective donors are healthy enough to give. “I had no idea,” he says about his poop. “It turns out that it’s fairly close to perfect.”
One of the following three paragraphs is a lie.
For those of you saying “Nuh-uh” c. difficile is a serious infection that is particularly dangerous for the for the elderly. It’s one of the reasons - 1. Hospital stays are much shorter than they used to be and 2. the medical community has become very cautious about the use of antibiotics.
Yes, it can be cured by poop transplants, very quickly. This is revolutionary because the only other treatment is more antibiotics.
No, people who write about medicine for a living do not cackle like 3rd graders when c. difficile and fecal transplants are mentioned. Really. They’re far too serious for that sort of thing.

“Dear President Kennedy: As you know, the largest outpouring of Americans of all races, colors, and creeds ever to assemble in our Nation’s Capital will take place on Wednesday, August 28, in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.” —A. Philip Randolph
To celebrate the 52nd anniversary of the March on Washington, read the letter from A. Philip Randolph to President Kennedy requesting a meeting as part of the events in 1963, then check out President Obama’s remarks marking a half-century of progress on civil rights and looking toward the work still ahead.
DRINK WATER
Why kids argue when you explain this to them?
Honestly
let me see …. oh yeah Because it’s essentialist bullshit, doesn’t work, and just fucks with peoples heads for pure malicious pleasure, I think.
Hey, salicylic acid clears up all sorts of aches and pains, can improve heart health, treat acne. CLEARLY WILLOW BARK IS THE ANSWER TO ALL OF LIFE’S ILLS.
Meanwhile, medical professionals have moved away from Drink Water! and now say that staying hydrated is what’s important. You can do that in any way that floats your boat. (Except booze, sorry.)
At a lecture I was giving in a large West Coast university in the Spring of 2008, the female students talked extensively about how much they preferred to have a completely waxed pubic area as it made them feel “clean,” “hot” and “well groomed.” As they excitedly insisted that they themselves chose to have a Brazilian wax, one student let slip that her boyfriend had complained when she decided to give up on waxing. Then there was silence. I asked the student to say more about her boyfriend’s preferences and how she felt about his criticism. As she started to speak other students joined in, only now the conversation took a very different turn. The excitement in the room gave way to a subdued discussion on how some boyfriends had even refused to have sex with non-waxed girlfriends as they “looked gross.” One student told the group how her boyfriend bought her a waxing kit for Valentine’s Day, while yet another sent out an email to his friends joking about his girlfriend’s “hairy beaver.” No, she did not break up with him, she got waxed instead. Two weeks after the waxing discussion, I was at an East Coast Ivy League school where some female students became increasingly angry. They accused me of denying them free choice in their embracing of our hypersexualized porn culture, and being the next generation’s elite women, this idea was especially repugnant because they saw no limits or constraints on them as women. Literally two minutes later, one of the students made a joke about the “trick” that many of them employ as a way to avoid hookup sex. What is this trick? These women purposely don’t shave or wax as they are getting ready to go out that night so they will feel too embarrassed to participate in hookup sex. As she spoke, I watched as others nodded their heads in agreement. When I asked why they couldn’t just say no to sex, they informed me that once you have a few drinks in you, and are at a party or a bar, it is too hard to say no. I was speechless, not least because they had just been arguing that I had denied them agency in my discussion of porn culture, and yet they saw no contradiction in telling me that they didn’t have the agency to say no to sex. The next day I flew to Utah to give a lecture in a small college, which although not a religious college, had a good percentage of Mormons and Catholics. I told them about the lecture the previous night and asked them if they knew what the trick was. It turns out that trick is everywhere, including Utah. I tell this story because, on many levels, it neatly captures how the porn culture is affecting young women’s lives. The reality is that women don’t need to look at porn to be profoundly affected by it because images, representations, and messages of porn are now delivered to women via pop culture. Women today are still not major consumers of hard-core porn; they are, however, whether they know it or not, internalizing porn ideology, an ideology that often masquerades as advice on how to be hot, rebellious, and cool in order to attract (and hopefully keep) a man. An excellent example is genital waxing, which first became popular in porn (not least because it makes the women look pre-pubescent) and then filtered down into women’s media such as Cosmopolitan, a magazine that regularly features stories and tips on what “grooming” methods women should adopt to attract a man. Sex and the City, that hugely successful show with an almost cult following, also used waxing as a storyline. For instance, in the movie, Miranda is chastised by Samantha for “letting herself go” by having pubic hair.

Yep nothing says True Feminist like an anecdotal story that repeats one of rape culture’s favorite tales about those wild and wanton coeds. Barf.
p.s. Removing body hair, including genital hair is a very, very, very old custom. As in thousands of years older than anything we recognize as commercial porn.
p.p.s. What we know as Brazilian (also French) waxing came about in response to bathing suits with itsybitsyteenyweeny bottoms. Not. Porn.
p.p.p.s. Seriously, who wrote this? They’re either lazy as hell or 12.

I slay you with my mighty metal goose foot!
what the sex positive movement should be about:
destroying the idea that sex is only for cis men and should revolve around them
protecting sex workers
protecting minorities oppressed for their sexual preferences (LGBTQIA+)
destroying the notion that sex is dirty and shameful
be critical of the concept of virginity
what the sex positive movement should NOT be about
defending the porn industry at all costs
normalizing gross kinks (raceplay, fetishizing little girls…)
trying to lower the age of consent and to say that 13-year-old sending nudes and having sex is fine
mocking asexual people
Judging the kinks of others, such as raceplay, when they just involve consensual adults, is not exactly in line with the principles you supposedly espouse.
And aren’t porn actors/models sex workers?
So I saw that picture of you with that giant ass moth on your face and I thought "Frodo Baggins, get that moth off of your face."
silence of the bagginses
it puts the athelas on its skin, or else it gets the hose again.
why do stores always say ‘gifts for her’??? who is she? why are millions of americans being encouraged to buy gifts for this entity? someone explain
we must appease Her
if you dont know Her, it’s probably too late for you.
Tsk. It should be “Gifts for SHE.” Stupid grammar cops.
As I’ve said before, I don’t have many followers. Spread across a number of social media sites even, I’ve got less than 400 souls, give or take, who’re all that interested in what I have to say. There are reasons for that, but for the most part, I don’t care. Never forget, none of this is for your benefit.
Regardless, I pick up a follower here and there, and there’s been a strange trend, particularly on Twitter. As of late, apart from obvious bots and the odd promotional deal, most of my Twitter followers over the past month, six weeks have been, to a man, self-described far-right Christian conservatives. I cannot imagine on Earth why, as I basically ignore them from the get-go. Got another one today. Granted, I don’t advertise my political leanings or religious affiliation in those “About Me” areas, but still; I would’ve though we’re I fell on those scales was fairly apparent.
Figure that out.
That happens to me even though reading any three of my Tweets should make it clear they are in the wrong place. I’m not sure if they’re bots or - more likely - looking to spread The Word. I guess a lot of people automatically “follow back.”
I block ‘em because they are not going to enjoy anything I have to say.
