Hello there. I’m Chris. I take strange pictures and I meet strange people, both of which you may care to know about. Religiously, a Pagan by practice, Theosophist by philosophy, and an Atheist when it gets down to the nitty gritty. Huge supporter of the GSM/Queer community. An amateur film photographer, science hobbiest, and both a techie and a bit of a luddite depending on the technology in question.

I NEED TO KNOW
It’s weird how whenever I run into Rad Fem blogs they seem to say some of the exact same shit that White Supremacists and Fascists say. Weird.
Literally just read a TERF and a member of the “Axis Of Weavils” say, almost word for word, the exact same transphobic remark.
Reminds me of when I chat with my Islamic critical Atheist friends. I know you think you sound super smart and rational, but when you are calling for the same things radical, militant sects of Fundamentalist Christianity are, you need to take a hard look at yourself in the mirror.

Playboy: There's a video on YouTube called "Peter Dinklage Gets So Much Pussy" in which two guys talk about how much you've been getting laid since Game of Thrones. They estimate your sexual activity has increased 600 percent in the past few years. Does that sound about right?
Dinklage: It depends. By "pussy" do they mean actual pussy? Or is it a metaphor, like for gardening? Because if that's the case, then yes, I've been doing a lot of gardening lately. If they mean sex, they might be getting me confused with somebody else. But if pussy means wearing old-man sweaters and watering my herb garden, then absolutely, I'm getting so much pussy.

If it is not more than a dollar raise, I will be looking for a new job ASAP! But it sucks that the new guy will be starting soon, making more than me, even though I’m required to do much more!!!

I wanted to put a reference to masturbation in one of the scripts for the Sandman. It was immediately cut by the editor. She told me, “There’s no masturbation in the DC Universe.” To which my reaction was, “Well that explains a lot about the DC Universe.

I found a snake in the backyard!
Lovely thing. Hesitantly identified it as Ringneck, but now fairly sure it is a rare yellow-bellied Redbelly Snake.
(Ringneck snakes have a ring, which is missing, and smooth scales. This one is keeled. Left it alone after this, don’t want to harass the poor thing.)
LOL, there’s no such thing as a “yellow-bellied Redbelly snake”; wouldn’t that be ORANGE? This is a common Garter Snake, Thamnophis sirtalis sp.
Actually, according to the Audubon Society of New England,
“Redbelly generally describes the color of the underside, although the color can vary from yellow (rarely), to orange to red. The overall color of this snake is also variable, and it can be brown, bronze, slate gray or, rarely, black.”
The pictures I have of Garter Snakes in Massachusetts all have a ribbon down the back, which this one decidedly lacks. Other than that though, I can see it checks off on all the other similarities to a Garter. Keeled scales, yellow belly, “checkered” rather than striped with white.
on one hand, I know fuck all about Abigail Saguy, so she may be a brilliant sociologist who makes very good points about fat people being treated cruelly by society.
On the other hand, yeah, I think people are within bounds to point out that having a doctorate in a non-medical field does not mean that you’re qualified to act as a medical doctor.
Can’t wait to get my history PhD and start combating the Ebola in the Thames.
….Long story, but there is Ebola in the Thames.
