LOL, yeah, I always think of it more as “SUCKS THE JOY FROM EVERYTHING.” But I *always* get on people’s cases — usually quite shocking them — when they say “that sucks nuts,” by responding aggressively “and what exactly is wrong with sucking nuts?”
Exactly.
kalamah replied to your post: I think I’m gonna try to stop using “sucks” as a synonym for “bad”.
Huh, in my personal definition I always thought of sucks as in “sucks like quicksand” or similar, and not sexual. o.0 /asexual definitions
Ah, I never thought of that definition; thank you. I’m pretty sure most people would relate it to the sex act, though, so...
I think I'm gonna try to stop using "sucks" as a...
Honestly, this use of “sucks” has been bugging me for a while, because it implies that giving oral sex to someone with a penis is somehow bad. Hence, it appears to be rooted in cissexist misogyny/homophobia (i.e., “sucking is bad because it’s something women and gays do”), which, y’know. I’m not cool with that.
And yes, I’m aware that there are also...

How often do you use “fuck you” or hear someone else say “fuck you”? I’m guilty of it, I do it quite often. I’m always spewing out “fuck that!” or “fuck hate!” or “fuck (insert unpleasant concept/thing/person here)” But only lately have I begun to analyze my use of that language. “Fuck” represents...

Basically, the people I like are people who are more interested in becoming right than they are in just demanding everyone see them as right. Those who prioritize learning and self-improvement can still cause harm, of course, but what matters most to me is that they’re constantly trying not to.

this ain’t livin’: The Face of Exploitation
The exploitation of farm workers in the United States is something I’ve discussed before, and I’ve also discussed how difficult it is to escape exploitative labour practices. Yet, it’s something that doesn’t get as much attention as animal exploitation, by and large, unless you happen to be moving in a circle where people care...

I understand the need to avoid language that is harmful in various ways, whether it be racist, sexist, ableist and so on.

Asexuality is diverse and there are many different ways for asexuality to express. If you want to learn more about asexuality and the ace community, the AVEN Wiki is a good place to start.
Asexual people are not ‘broken,’ experiences of sexual assault, rape, abuse, etc. do not ‘turn people asexual.’

California Inmates Receive Mental Health Care... →
Perhaps the saddest thing of all is that with prison inmates being so disproportionately low-income, and mental health services being so inaccessible to those without insurance (and even many with), these sessions are the only form of mental health care that many of these patients can ever hope to receive. And they’re getting it not only within the racist, classist, ableist, misogynistic,...
In the early eighties, there was a report, written for the US Government, called Technology on the Social and Ethical Aspects of Transsexual Surgery. This report argued that transition-related treatments were medically unnecessary. As a result, consideration of federal and state aid for trans people was dropped, and private insurance companies quickly followed suit, disingenuously expanding the...

One does not necessitate the other. And yeah, it’s okay to be angry, but… well, I vehemently disagree with the idea that anger in and of itself justifies being horrid to people.

The incumbent president Laurent Gbagbo lost a November 28 election to challenger Alasanne Ouatarra.

This kind of election related violence is nothing new for Africa. A similar situation unfolded in Kenya in late...

Xbox Live has this service called Indie Games, where small-time developers release their little games for very low prices (between $1 and $5). And while there are quite a few not-so-great games on there, there are also some I’ve discovered that I’ve enjoyed, and considered worth the pittance they costed. I think it’s a pretty cool little thing, myself.

zenami replied to your post: Why do games have to be so freaking expensive?
A question I ask myself daily.
Like, I sort of understand why, in the early cartridge-based days, they’d have had to charge a lot: the hardware for those things was expensive, and early cartridge games would also often include custom hardware, etc. But, I mean, eventually almost everything moved to discs and...
