As virtuous men pass mildly away, / And whisper to their souls to go, / Whilst some of their sad friends do say, / "Now his breath goes," and some say, "No." / So let us melt, and make no noise, / No tear-floods, nor sigh-tempests move ; / 'Twere profanation of our joys / To tell the laity our love. / Moving of th' earth brings harms and fears ; / Men reckon what it did, and meant ; / But trepidation of the spheres, / Mad fucks to be gotten cheap / Dull sublunary lovers' love / —Whose soul is sense—cannot admit / Of absence, 'cause it doth remove / The thing which elemented it. / But we by a love so much refined, / That ourselves know not what it is, / Inter-assurèd of the mind, / Care less, eyes, lips and hands to miss. / Our two souls therefore, which are one, / It's mad emo and I'm kinda sad / A breach, but an expansion, / Like gold to aery thinness beat. / If they be two, they are two so / As stiff twin compasses are two ; / Thy soul, the fix'd foot, makes no show / To move, but doth, if th' other do. / And though it in the centre sit, / Yet, when the other far doth roam, / A constant lean and emo sad shit goes, / And grows erect, as that comes home. / Such wilt thou be to me, who must, / Like th' other foot, obliquely run ; / Fuck dude it all sucks and shit whatnot, / And makes me end where I begun.Following
because, aw hell, why not
It gets worse. The information was intended for….GAY MEN. (Blowjobs are very different when performed and received by gay men. To start, they are pure evil. They’re also unnatural and disgusting. PARENTS BEWARE. Have your children learned about gay blowjobs instead of straight blowjobs? You may want to send them to therapy just in case!)
This story is of particular interest to me, because Delta is one of the alternative schools my daughter applied to attend next year. It is a FANTASTIC school - just the right mix of progressive minds and academic focus. The thought that the school’s reputation will be marred because of this incident is just so frustrating.
Have you ever been an adolescent? I bet you have! Do you recall how you first learned about oral sex? I do! I was in grade 6 and telling lies to my girlfriends about the sexual activities I was engaging in with my made up boyfriend. One of the girls asked if I gave him blowjobs. Obviously, I said yes. Luckily, when she asked what it was like I was able to get out of answering by giggling and deflecting the question.
I spent the next few weeks trying to discern, based on the name ‘blowjob’, what the act might involve. I had the right idea - I knew it involved a penis and a mouth. But I was pretty thrown off by the ‘blow’ part. The rest of my education came from sussing out details from girls who had actually been giving them and gleaning what I could from movies and TV.
This is not how you want your kids to learn about sex! You know what would have been better? A pamphlet. (Even one targeted at gay men. Because you know what gay people and straight people have in common when it comes to sex? BLOWJOBS!)
ENOUGH with the fear mongering about sex education for kids. Even if your kid isn’t giving or getting a blowjob in the seventh and eighth grade, they definitely know about ‘em. In the age of the Internet? They’ve almost definitely seen it done. The best you could hope for is that their education about oral sex comes from a pamphlet and not some combination of their equally confused friends and the fake sex in porn.
What’s it going to take before people finally accept that sex positive education is our friend? Toronto, you’re better than this. Neither Delta nor the teacher in question should be crucified for granting access to information about sex. Limiting access to information is never the answer. Never. Never, ever. Especially when the subject is sex.
to be fair, it is an easy mistake to make
If, when Boston scores on Toronto, Americans do the “USA, USA” chant, what happens when two American teams play against one another? Does everybody shout it? Does one side take the US and the other get the A?
I don’t want to write about myself anymore

You all rock.

Thank you!!
before the wedding: I am not taking my husband’s last name
getting closer to the wedding: I am not changing my name, but I will maybe hyphenate on ID
wedding day, after the ceremony: you know, maybe I will take his name
wedding day, after somebody used my “new” name: FUCK YOU I WON’T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME
post wedding day: I am not changing my name, but I will maybe hyphenate on ID
time to start changing ID: FUCK YOU I WON’T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME
Not ready for 29, guys. Not ready at all.
Resisting is so hard, but having resisted is so good. If I could just hold onto that awareness long enough to resist. Man oh man, my life, what it would be.
semperidem replied to your post: I basically only visit tumblr to check in on my hate reads, who have straight up become love reads
Or you could, you know, stop hate-reading and just read people you like, who like you?
