Lights Are Nigh

So I started an experiment this week: see how my colitis reacts if I stop eating gluten.
See, celiac disease runs in my family, but when I was tested for it a couple of years ago, everything came back normal. I’m told that the test for celiac isn’t very accurate, and thus my experiment. So far, I’m 4 days in, and I’ve all but stopped pooping like a madman. Victory? Only the future will tell.

As for now, my guts are really confused by this lack of colitis symptoms, and they’re reacting in all sorts of odd ways. This is normal for colitis going away for me though, so I’m not worried…

“I believe that sex-positive feminism is about the belief that sex can be beautiful, it can be ugly, it can be difficult to deal with or easy to understand; some kinds of sex are widely misunderstood, and some kinds of sex are widely stereotyped; some people are really into sex, and some people aren’t; but most importantly, all kinds of sex are okay as long as they happen among consenting adults.”

o.O Right handed privilege is a thing.

I know enough lefties who were literally beaten into right-handedness that this isn’t a shock, a surprise or even something unusual to me. This is “Fuck, it took you THIS long to notice?”

My mother was left handed. Key word being was.

Same thing for my step-mother. She went to a catholic school in Germany while growing up, and the nuns smacked her with a rod every time they caught her using her left hand.

Oh my life

Just found the “Totally Bizarre” area of the “Everything Else” section of EBay. First item? Urethral sounding kit.

EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE, ALCOHOLIC SACK OF DICKS

Smooth talking about how much love you feel from the good ole days does not make you worth having in my life now. 

How to tell you to fuck right off?

An evening spent with those who know naught but excess. Let’s talk about our extra TVs that are wasting space, and our exploitative vacations in the tropics. Maybe if we all agree nod along, our first world problems will become validated.

transgenderexpress: joellamarano: Tom Gabel of Against Me! Comes Out as Transgender Against Me! singer Tom Gabel reveals plans to begin living as a woman in the new issue of Rolling Stone. Gabel, who has dealt privately with gender dysphoria for years, will soon begin the process of transition, by taking hormones and undergoing electrolysis treatments. Gabel will eventually take the name Laura Jane Grace, and will remain married to her wife Heather. “For me, the most terrifying thing about this was how she would accept the news,” says Gabel. “But she’s been super-amazing and understanding.” Gabel only told a handful of family and friends about her plan to transition before talking to Rolling Stone. Because this is the first time a major rock star has come out as transgender, the singer made a point of speaking openly about it. “I’m going to have embarrassing moments,” says Gabel, “and that won’t be fun. But that’s part of what talking to you is about – is hoping people will understand, and hoping they’ll be fairly kind.” The full story of Gabel’s transformation is in the latest issue, on newsstands this Friday (May 11th). In it, the singer tells Josh Eells about her history of gender dysphoria, the specifics of the transition process and what becoming Laura Jane Grace will mean for the future of Against Me! i love that her wikipedia page has already been updated with correct pronouns :D
