Reblogging this for any of you that get the night sads
My grandparents gave me this book for my 15th birthday. It's one of my most treasured possessions, and I find myself turning to its pages whenever my emotions and experiences feel so much bigger than me.
Would you like to participate in a Sexplanations Writing Contest?
I’ve been asked many sex questions in my time as a clinical sexologist and host of Sexplanations. A few of them really have me scratching my head. My hope is that some of you will be able to write the responses they deserve. It’s a contest!
If you’d like to participate please follow the prompts and guidelines below.
Writing Contest Prompts:
What is the difference between seduction and coercion?
Is it sexist to only want a female gynecologist and if so is that bad sexism?
If gender is not influenced by one’s genitals then why do people seek gender confirmation surgery?
Write about any sexuality topic of your choosing.
Writing Contest Guidelines:
Choose one or more prompts and write amazing responses.
100-1000 words in length per response
Submit as text in an email or as a shared googledoc, no attachments to Word docs etc.
Due before May 1st
Send them to [email protected]
Email heading: Writing Contest
Cite your resources (in-line or as a list at the end)
Any format (letter, essay, script etc.)
I’ll take care of tone/Sexplanations-styling
What I want from you is a great response to the questions and for you to have fun!
Writing Contest Prizes:
If there is an obvious winner for each of the prompts, they will each receive a Sexplanations Gift Basket and have their response featured in a Sexplanations episode. They will also be contacted by Skype or telephone to discuss how their writing will work best in video format. If I choose to pull ideas from multiple authors for a single episode they’ll all receive a token of my appreciation and personal communication to plan the episode.
If your piece isn’t chosen as a winner or contributor you will probably not hear from me at all. It’s not because you’re a poor writer or because I’m ungrateful. It’s because there’s already been an overwhelming interest in this contest and I cannot commit to responding to all of you. Knowing myself I’ll want to hand write each one of you a message. We’ll see.
Can you just know right now how special it is to me that you’re willing to help and participate? Can you know right now that I’ll read what you write (if you send it correctly) and that is my way of showing I care?
One final note: one of you asked if authors can remain anonymous on Sexplanations. Yes, of course. If you win we’ll talk about it directly.
I'm doing it!
If Stuntmen from the old movies don’t have your full respect then I just don’t know what to say to you
Inl tried really hard not to reblog this
These aren’t even stuntmen. These are the actors, because that’s the way it was done back then.
In fact, alll of these gifs feature just one actor, Buster Keaton. It is said the stunt with the front of the building falling around him was so terrifying to his crew, that everyone on set closed their eyes and Buster himself was almost crushed (you can see the window brush his shoulder).
Buster Keaton doesn't just deserve your respect, he earns your awe.
Watch: Poet Sierra DeMulder sends a powerful message to survivors: “You are not broken.”
Erasure isn’t privilege. If you have to ‘present het’ to fit in, that’s not privilege. If you have to 'present lesbian’ (or gay) to fit in, that’s not privilege.If you can’t be openly bisexual then it’s not privilege.

Wow...absolutely speechless. I needed this.

It wasn’t easy to land on a card that felt worthy of David Bowie. Here are some alternate versions we considered early on:
David Bowie riding in on a cloud of fire flies.
David Bowie materializing in a poof of glitter.
David Bowie sliding into your dreams on an electric rainbow.
Some new white cards to help cope...
this isn't possible
David Bowie isn’t a mortal like the rest of us. This doesn’t make sense. This isn’t possible.
I woke up earlier than usual this morning, probably because I went to be earlier than usual last night. It’s all part of Operation: Reboot, and while it’s been a challenging adjustment, it’s worth it. I sat up in bed, next to both of my dogs who looked confused. Dad doesn’t get out of bed for at least another three hours. What’s going on? Marlowe made a curious sound. Seamus grunted and buried…

Pretty much sums up how the spouse and I are feeling. We found out last night. It's going to take some time to sink in...
The joke isn’t that they’re cruel or bad at parenting or have any particular disdain for the world at large. They aren’t unkind to their neighbors or to the animals and their deeply devoted to their children and to each other. The joke is that they’re happy. The Addams Family is missing a lot of the typical sitcom tropes. There’s no mother-in-law jokes, no arguing over who’s supposed to fill what gender role, both Morticia and Gomez spend roughly equal amounts of time parenting the children and the most remarkable is the relationship between Morticia and Gomez. You see Morticia Addams and it really highlights how rare it is in family films and TV sitcoms to see a wife and mom character who isn’t like this “dissatisfied housewife always mad at my big dumb husband but I love him gonna stay with him because this is the world and he’s the best I can get and I am always right because wifes are the smart ones hey you can relate to this average American I guess”. Morticia and Gomez in contrast are usually working together you know rarely party A will keep something from party B but for the most part the form little schemes together as partners both are heads of the household and they almost never disrespect each other - remarkable in a genre where that’s usually the joke. But the reason the Addams are happy is really beacause they exist outside of society’s expectations. Gomez is a man child who plays with his trains and that’s fine. Morticia fences with her husband and plays with weapons often and it doesn’t occur to them to care what other people think.

And this is why the spouse and I are going as them this Halloween...
Thanks, Tastefully Offensive! Have a safe and happy Halloween everyone!!
Some Halloween themed giggles for your day.
This video was shared on the ANF fb page. It’s really well done. Bravo to the team who put it together! The more sex education the so-much-freakin’ better.
Before you tell someone their gender is a choice, before you challenge their identity, before you ask a gauntlet of evasive questions, do the research, watch the video, read the statitics. Then pay attention. Then, if you still don't understand, listen.
How you spell “The Berenstain Bears” could be proof of parallel universes
“You need to look up the Berenst#in Bears problem.”
It was this innocent comment left on a post about parallel universes that first pulled by Rob Schwarz of Stranger Dimensions into one of the internet’s strangest theories. It involves The Berenstein Bears, a loving family of anthropomorphized bears who taught children life lessons via hundreds of picture books and two TV shows. But the problem is they aren’t The Berenstein Bears, they’re The Berenstain Bears.
Though a startling number of people remember the name as BerenstEin, it’s in fact spelled BerenstAin, just like the authors Stan and Jan Berenstain. But is it possible that so many people are just wrong about the title? Back in 2012, blogger Reeceoffered up another explanation: Some of us have recently crossed over from a parallel universe.
He argues:
… at some time in the last 10 years or so, reality has been tampered with and history has been retroactively changed. The bears really were called the “BerenstEin Bears” when we were growing up, but now reality has been altered such that the name of the bears has been changed post hoc.
Somehow, we have all undergone a π/2 phase change in all 4 dimensions so that we moved to the stAin hexadectant, while our counterparts moved to our hexadectant (stEin). They are standing around expressing their confusion about the “Berenstein Bears” and how they all remember “Berenstain Bears” on the covers growing up.
Those who remember the name as “Berenstain” are native to this “A” Universe, while those who are sure it’s “Berenstein” traveled over from the “E” Universe.

This is… fucked up
Man couldn’t we have had a cooler dimensional change?
This is some Fringe shit here.
I want to believe. (And I do, because it was always BerenstEin Bears. I know, because I had all the books. I even read them to my kids, so the post-hoc reality change happened in the last 20 years.)
Well, looks like Wil Wheaton and I grew up in the same universe before the reality change… Unfortunately I just asked my mum and she said it's Berenstain...so that means my mum was absorbed in the shift.
The new baby is so perfectly small. He squeaks and makes little snuffling noises. He smells like a baby. The name on his birth registration is Anthony, but I mostly call him squeaker.
The night he was born I read Amanda a story by P.L. Travers’ called “The New One”, from Mary Poppins Comes Back…
I’m the proudest and happiest of fathers. And now I have to go back and be a writer again, after a happy week of being someone who used to be a writer and might one day be a writer in the future, but for right now I’m cooking and changing nappies and generally making myself useful.
This is a beautiful portrait of love and the world needs more of it.
That country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coalbins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain.
Ray Bradbury, The October Country (via bookmania)
It's October and I'm reading Bradbury. Next in the cue are Poe, Lovecraft, and Gaiman.
Go read something spooky...
A very useful demonstration of the importance of sentence length.
This is delightful.
This may be my favorite high-speed shot from #Mythbusters.
Destruction can be so pretty...
