I think this literally hits the nail on the head.  Women have begun seeing themselves and other women as a male would.  The "raunch" culture is really disempowering.  Tori Amos says it best, "A woman has to realize that when she makes a man crawl it doesn't give her ( Read more... )

I think this is an astonishing trend that will result in the general acceptance of marijuana use.  As these teens who smoke marijuana become 18 and vote, and think the country will have a larger shift in the leniency of laws and eventually the legalization.  I'd much rather smoke pot than cigarettes and I'd ( Read more... )

I really wish that they would bring this exhibit the US. I think that the way drug use has been portrayed over the years is a really good comparison to the general consensus of its use. I would be especially interested in seeing the art from the Amazonian tribes during their ayahuasca ( Read more... )

I wasn't aware that there were any DuPonts around anymore.... I found the whole entry really intriguing. Especially his interest in birds and stamps. Who knew he would've turned into a cold blooded killer?

So explain this to me, in the gay porn industry you DON'T have to prove you're HIV negative???? And if you are a "known positive" you can still perform in sex scenes, knowing you could be infecting another person? This is some wild shit, and I really really cannot believe that the ( Read more... )

I've always been a fan of tracking things as well as running experiments on myself and this is the perfect example of it.  I mapped my peak flow for my allergist after I began having asthma-related issues and I enjoyed tracking where it was everyday and color-coding it. Weird? Yes. Nerdy? Yes. But what the fuck ever.

When I read this, all I could think of was Natalie Portman in "The Professional." Although the young boy in the story is a male, I still find the similarities rather shocking.... Weirdness.

I will definitely look into these choices considering that I hate most people lol. I'm definitely leaning more towards the lab tech dealie.
