Tripper dropped one of his bones on my foot. Um, it was heavy. Ow. I think he managed to break three of my toes in one go P:

In other news, I re-discovered Fundies Say the Darndest Things! today and made the incredibly bad choice of actually reading it. And I'm going to cut the rest of this because I'm going to repeat some of the things I read there and they are really, really bad, and possibly triggering (for rape anddd...general really, really terrible hate speech, I don't even know how else to describe it, this stuff is terrible; also, same goes for the link above to Fundies Say the Darndest Things, since this is all shit from there)

cut for triggery hatred )

So why would I read this shit? I don't even really find it amusing at any point.

There is a reason; basically, it's in my nature to try to hear out ANYBODY who tries to make a point. If somebody has thought through something and came to a conclusion, I want to hear it, I want to try to understand what they're saying, I want to know what they've learned. It's part of me being a general um...knowledge-hound? And also, I think, because I so much value free and logical thought.

I rarely experience cognitive dissonance. (This is probably a fault.) This is why, I think, it hits me so hard when I am caught between exploring free thought and the revelation that some people, through what they see to be logical thought, arrive at the above conclusions. I'm not sure what to do with that.

My dog can extend his tongue like...like a probiscus.

He just attacked my stomach with it.

I HAVE THE BEST DOG EVER

...THE BEST DOGSQUITO EVER I MEAN


Srsly though, he can stick it like. Straight out. When he wants to. And he'll poke you with it.

Oh and this meme )

Snagged this from Tranarchism. Somebody pours glitter on Newt Grinwich before a fundraiser for the Minnesota Family Council (and as we all know, queer people hate any organization with the word 'family' in it*** so we just had to make sure he didn't look his best)



Just wanted to share that. I love how his handler comes over to help brush off the glitter. CAN'T HAVE HIM LOOKING TOO FABULOUS, NOW.


In other news, I took a nap today and dreamt I was helping faeries take over the human population of America. I was advising them on ways to keep the people pacified once their new...government or whatever was in place. What.

It's the most interesting dream I've had in awhile though, so I'm not really complaining. Lately I've been rather stressed, but by obvious things (finals, getting my job back (yay! money!), first essay for my summer class being due right as finals ended even though the class doesn't actually start until the fucking 22nd). So my dreams have just been kind of bland, washed-out and boring. The most they do is give me a faint sense of unease. This one, though, made me feel rather confused! Yay!

***Hint for fundies with no sense of sarcasm: it's actually the other way around.

(I am pretty sure many have a critical lack of a sense of humor/sarcasm, which is why you will hear some fundies say things like 'queers openly admit that they are {insert completely ridiculous claims here, such as that we are all part of a conspiracy to convert America to a communist dictatorship under Obama}')
