I'm shaving my head for Cancer Awareness ;)

Ok.. Getting this shit FINALIZED. It is official, I'm going to bite the bullet and take off ALL my head hair (keeping my eyebrows, I like those).

When I was 7, breast cancer claimed my biological mother (I'm alright, really, I have the worst most wonderful non-biological mother and get an absolute kick out of the fact that I am adopted by one parent). Breast cancer research has come so far in the 15 or so years, but it needs to go farther. The discovery of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes that are known to cause breast cancer was a huge revelation in how cancer is passed on genetically. I plan to get tested for both genes in the next year.

September 1 was the anniversary of her death and when my Dad told me this I was really devastated. I think my kid brain really shut out a lot of the when and wheres of a lot of that part of my life. Now that I know and I remember I'll make sure I never forget. I'd like to do something special to honor her in my own little way.

I will be making a donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation [http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/] and will ask anyone with spare cash, even if it is just a dollar to donate as well. If you would like to make the donation in honor of someone, please donate in honor MW

If you'd like to let me know of your donation, just toss me a note. Amounts are not important and I'm not "going" for a certain amount, although I would love to know the total even if it's just to make myself feel fuzzy inside. I know times are tough but I just started a new job and would like some of my money from my first pay check to go towards this cause.

[https://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/donate/] Use the link to donate if you feel you would like to. I'd like to thank everyone for their support. :)

Looking for a place to start? Try some of these sites

I've either used or heard of all of these sites. Explications and success rates below. Listed in alphabetical order for.. fairness, yeah. [ Adult Friend Finder ] I can't suggest this website to anyone in my experience. I signed up for an account to get an accurate representation of what the site was like and if you are a free member, literally, every other button you push asks you to upgrade.  The website itself is terribly put together and the layout makes almost no sense. The site has several overlapping features and siging up for an AFF profile also gives you a profile of another type that I was never asked about when signing up. I put links to my Fetlife and SLS accounts and they froze my profile. Long review short - I'd take your time and your money elsewhere. [ Craigslist ] Very very hit or miss. Mostly miss for me, but once again if you know what to look for you'll do well enough. There is a lot of bots, a lot of spam and a lot of people with absolutely n...

For Fucks Sake, White People.

This isn't hard. I FOUND SOME READING FOR PEOPLE WHO SEEM TO BE HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING. YOU'RE WELCOME. What is racism. Why reverse racism isn't a fucking thing. But black people are racist. White privilege, you got it!* But not all white people. Let me play Devil's Advocate for a minute. If this is new to you, and if it is, that's ok, you're going to have some feelings to work through. I'm working through some of my own right now. It's ok to have feelings. It's not ok to snap at POC about how you feel you're except from the racist culture that permeates America. I'm guilty of it, you're guilty of it. We're all guilty of it. BUT, we can use our WHITE PRIVILEGE, to try to fucking do better. So let's do it, shall we? Full disclosure, I've skimmed a lot of these articles, they sum up things I've read and discussed with people in the past, my brain issues are not allowing me to read long articles at ...

KateHarding.net's "Guest Blogger Starling: Schrödinger’s Rapist: or a guy’s guide to approaching strange women without being maced"

I found this article some months ago and was recently reintroduced to it. My last entry had to do with women related things, let's focus on what goes on inside the brains of us very lovey ladies and woman-identified peoples.  The full original article can be found here on KateHarding.net and I recommend every single person that comes to my blog go over there and read it (or read excerpts here). Gentlemen. Thank you for reading. Let me start out by assuring you that I understand you are a good sort of person. You are kind to children and animals. You respect the elderly. You donate to charity. You tell jokes without laughing at your own punchlines. You respect women. You like women. In fact, you would really like to have a mutually respectful and loving sexual relationship with a woman. Unfortunately, you don’t yet know that woman—she isn’t working with you, nor have you been introduced through mutual friends or drawn to the same activities. So you must look fur...
