“I’ve got a piece of advice for Dan Savage: stop spewing biological essentialisms...”
– Married, With Infidelities - Readers’ Comments - NYTimes.com
And this comment totally gets to the heart of my problems with Savage, as much as I love his advice. He doesn’t really understand women sometimes.

sexartandpolitics asked: ugh, nm. I just noticed the mono speaker on that model. No thank you. The HP you linked is about $100.00 more than I was looking to spend, but since I've had my existing laptop for 7 years perhaps it's worth the investment.

My PPC iBook G4 is rapidly becoming completely unusable. I’m often having a lag when typing, which is kind of the #1 thing I use it for. I’ve maxed out the RAM so there’s not much else I can do to improve performance. Even fresh installs of OS X don’t help.
So, I’m researching my netbook options…
Honestly, I hate netbooks, as a whole — they’re very rarely an...

Since it’s just available for pre-order and I’m going to guess is not going to sell out in the next 24 hours I’m going to remember that there is a possibility I’m hypomanic right now and will avoid impulsively buying a new computer.
I once bought a pair of bose quiet comfort headphones while blacked out drunk.
GOOD TIMES.
I got the urge to buy a shower curtain from...

Hey Y’all: A good friend has just started up a new Tumblr devoted to all the stupid shit people buy and NEVER use. I just ‘fessed up to a pair of never-worn, if aesthetically-pleasing shoes. She is looking for submissions, so send her examples of your poorly reasoned purchases here.
Honest question?

Everyone who uses the internet (or at least everyone who isn’t a terrible person—which, yes, significantly reduces the scope of the word “everyone” here, I know, but in any event) is in widespread agreement that content farms and scraper sites are pretty awful. I mean, remember how we all applauded when Google updated its algorithms to combat copycat sites from beating out original...

My father was an air traffic controller. The famous air traffic strike that he joined in 1981 wasn’t about pay, it was about staffing levels, scheduling, and more than anything about getting better equipment—making things safer for people who fly. As those technology changes have slowly come, so has new kinds of productivity. But even the newer ...

********************************
Collins brings up a important point about intersectionality. We never are just one identity and we can never separate our individual complexities. I am never just Black, or just a woman, or just queer. I am all of these things simultaneously and indefinitely.

In May, a 22-year-old woman (who remains anonymous) filed a federal lawsuit alleging that she was raped by two Chicago police officers on March 30. After the victim came forward, it was discovered that weeks...
