I have been part of this debate for years, but things do get settled and this issue is now settled for me. I do not debate any longer with members of the “Flat Earth Society” either. I do not debate with people who think we should treat epilepsy by casting demons out of the epileptic person; I do not waste time engaging those medical opinions that suggest that bleeding the patient might release the infection. I do not converse with people who think that Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans as punishment for the sin of being the birthplace of Ellen DeGeneres or that the terrorists hit the United Sates on 9/11 because we tolerated homosexual people, abortions, feminism or the American Civil Liberties Union. I am tired of being embarrassed by so much of my church’s participation in causes that are quite unworthy of the Christ I serve or the God whose mystery and wonder I appreciate more each day. Indeed I feel the Christian Church should not only apologize, but do public penance for the way we have treated people of color, women, adherents of other religions and those we designated heretics, as well as gay and lesbian people.
how can i find someone to date me now that i have an std??? life feels over :(
hello person.
you are a person.
you are not an std.
people don’t want to have sex with you because you’re a vagina hole wrapped in a torso topped with a head.
people want to have sex with you because of the way you smiled that one time they said something about where they grew up, or how you move your hands and talk too fast when you tell a story, or because you made room for the older man on the subway, or how you looked at them that day it was too cold for a t-shirt but not cold enough for a coat and they were wearing a hoodie and the pond was perfect and you brought a snack, or because you just let them sit quietly when they don’t want to explain, or the way you make enough tea for both of you without even asking, or because you’re the first person in years who’s really understood the importance of finding out what it looks like from the roof.
and they know you. and you know them.
how do i get over when i have to see her 3 hours a day, every day until december?
save money. plan a small wknd trip to take place around / after december. constantly think about this trip and what you will do during it. sign up for brochures. research where you are going. purposely give up certain things in an effort to save more money for the trip. decide how you will document it. are you going to take your record player or guitar or both? can you snowboard? do you have proper pants? will you need a new haircut? is it more economical to drive or fly?
see? you have better things to worry about.
