lol.
The four year old pointed at Santorum on tv today and said “homobobic douchefuck”. I would say that this is my fault, but I can’t actually find anything negative in this action that would imply fault, so instead I’ll say: this is my accomplishment.

All done! It seems like recently all of my “spoons” have been used to gauge out eyes…
I regret nothing.

There are so many stories I could share from my time driving Taxi’s. I’m hard pressed every week having to choose one. Today I’ve chosen a story that really touches my heart.
I find the clients I pick up from a hospital or a medical centre are usually very receptive to hearing me talk about my faith, and gauging whether or not they have a faith. Hospitals get...

That was me trying to deal with oppression through (bad) humour. Guess it didn’t work, huh.
Oh ok, sorry. I’m very literal when I’m tired.

Don’t ever let someone tell you otherwise. The way you experience pleasure is the right way and if someone takes issue with this, then they are the one with the problem. Don’t allow the hegemonic narrative of masculinity/femininity and the dynamics that “should” occur between these two ideologies twist you up in knots about your sexual experiences. If your sex is consenting,...

Anonymous asked: I want to thank you for posting that article about sex positions and disabilities. I'm considering the Liberator shapes now. I consider myself to be able-bodied most of the time, but I have a chronic herniated disk in my back, so in bed, I'm really limited to what I can do, only missionary without help and for every short periods of time, doggy style if I use a wedge pillow. (I'm...
Anonymous asked: I have several learning disabilities and two mental illnesses. Do you know if there's a term like able-bodied that I can use to express my frustrations caused by the so called normal people? I'm trying to think of one but the only one that I can come up with is able-minded but I don't know how well I like it. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this.

There’s a new prenatal test in the U.S. called Maternity 21, used to determine whether or not your child will be born with Down Syndrome. It’s more accurate and poses much less risk to the fetus and mother than previous tests, which probably means the recent (abortion-induced) drop in births of children with Down Syndrome will keep increasing if mothers who tested positive...

Well-being therapy is based in large part on six tenets: mastery of the environment, personal growth, and purpose in life, autonomy, self-acceptance and positive relationships. In this particular section, I want to focus on the practical side of ‘mastery of the environment’ and that is physical comfort during sexual intimacy, plus actually having an opportunity to experiment with new positions...

This thoughts not agreeing thing. I am there too. But I don’t like it. Maybe that makes me a bad person. But I think there’s a difference between BIID and the identity of “transabled.” V.S. Ramachandran has a paper on it. Will read.
My initial reaction to it is not positive either, but before I have...
