I'm not even sure where to begin this. I'm about to rant. A lot. David had what is possibly the worst customer service experience of his life, over and over again ( Read more... )

Day 14 - What you wrote today

Sadly, not as much as I should have. I put in a little on a few projects, mostly cos I simply couldn't focus. (Though to be fair, I did a run of edits for elebridithOne: I put in work on one of the stories that Ele has bribed me for. What can I say, some porn is easier than others. (Even if the characters in question weren't ( Read more... )

Student shaped stupidity aside, the world we live in is a crazy fucking place man.

Hold onto your hats, boys and girls. This is not a happy post. But I'd encourage you to read it anyway, especially if you're in the US. And very especially if you live in Colorado. (I really hope this is coherent all the way through...)

I thought the new law in Oklahoma was bad.

Unfortunately I simply hadn't heard of Colorado Amendment 48, ( Read more... )

There's a lot about laws dealing with abortion that I don't like. I'm talking about more than just right to choose vs. right of life, which is imo a legitimate debate stemming out of faith and an incomplete understanding of human consciousness ( Read more... )

My good friend Ukaih (who remains unconvinced that fanfiction is a good way to maintain sanity, no matter how wonderful a guilty pleasure is**) sent me hereYou'll note from the address that this is a school's address. Now, ignoring the fact that, even in the 90's, the site design is atrocious, look at the gif on the right ( Read more... )
