yajnaji asked: Neil, is it ever too late to become a (good) writer?
No.
Although starting the day before you die is probably a bad idea, unless you’re going to write something really short.

The find blogs using FB/Twitter option is customizable per blog. Go into the blog you want to customize, go into options for that blog, then scroll down to Twitter/FB, and uncheck the box.
SPEAKING OF - does anyone know how extensive this is? If I don’t have my facebook and twitter listed will everyone I’m facebook friends with have access to ALL my blogs? Cause… this could get… awkward…. to my life…
They need to make a way for people to opt out of this…
It looks like it pulls from the information you already have in the system. So, if your FB is connected then the people from your account *should* be able to see that you have a blog. It can also see ALL of the blogs under that account.
I can see how this would be a bad thing.
AAAHHH! TIM, YOU TOTAL PEEPER! GET OUT OF HERE!
I SWEAR TO GOD IF WE WEREN’T DATING EVERYTHING YOU DO WOULD BE ILLEGAL AND CREEPY. YOU’RE LIKE A LAW & ORDER: SVU BAD GUY THAT BUYS ME FLOWERS ON MY BIRTHDAY.
What is that? ~_^

“A female solider in Iraq is more likely to be attacked by a fellow soldier than killed by military fire,” declared a piece on rape in the US military in the Guardian last December. As if the details of ensuing isolation, lack of psychological support and risk of homelessness weren’t enough, one travesty was left out: unless life is at risk, military medical insurance does not fund abortion for women who are left pregnant after such attacks. Period.
Even if a woman can afford to pay for her own termination, military hospitals are currently outlawed from performing the procedure.
Rather than being a barrier, a watermark should give you access. That’s why we’re getting rid of our old watermark and replacing it with one that’s less invasive and more useful.
women are shamed, whatever they do.
If they stay home with their children, they’re setting all women back.
If they work, they’re neglecting their family.
If they don’t want to be married and/or have children, there’s something wrong with them.
We can’t please everybody, and we shouldn’t have to try.
Not sure asexuality belongs on this spectrum, since it’s about sex drive and monogamous people don’t necessarily have less sex drive than poly folks.
I also believe that monogamy is as common as it is largely for cultural reasons, whereas although I have no idea why some folks are asexual and others aren’t, asexuality certainly doesn’t have the cultural weight behind it that monogamy does.
Also asexuals could have zero, one, or several romantic or aromantic partners.
But eliminating asexuals from this kind of graph would be exclusionary I guess…
Great points! I think that asexuals do get shamed a lot and called prudes so I think that they should be part of this spectrum, I’m kind of iffy on the monogamy thing, “monogamy” means just having sex with one person, for instance a lot of serial monogamists can be shamed for their sexuality because they’ve had sex with multiple people, although people who have sex out of relationships are shamed more often. However, monogamists who wait until marriage or wait for a long time to have sex do get shamed. It’s mostly that monogamy is more of a varied group than that.
Warren Evans, an openly bisexual student at Calvert High School, was suspended for wearing a skirt, [allegedly] violating the school’s dress code.
Evans says the school is discriminating against him and does not believe he violated any dress code.
“I don’t think so. Why not? It didn’t say anywhere in the code of conduct or dress code that says boys can’t dress like girls,” Evans commented.
The school district’s dress code policy states schools can regulate dress or even hair lengths.
Students at the school told News4’s Shomari Stone that female students wear skirts of the same length that Evans wore, but they were not suspended.
School officials will not comment on the suspension. They did say the dress code applies to all students, regardless of gender.
Public schools being used for taxpayer-sponsored gender policing. Just warms your heart, don’t it?
