What The F*ck Is Happening With DADT: Discharges Are Possible Once Again, Maybe
The legality of DADT changes overnight once again - it now appears that the military can discharge gay soldiers, at least for the next 24 hours and/or weekend.
Gay rights activist and “Beaver Bunch” star AJ went down to re-enlist in the U.S. Army yesterday. This is her first hand account of the hate speech she witnessed in the army recruitment office in…

don’t choose the flame cover b/c it’s out of stock i think.
i currently dislike everybody and just want to be alone all the time. i have pushed everybody from my life far away. my dream is to become a pelican in the wilderness. is this possible in todays society / am i completely insane?
if you are insane then i am insane. i have never considered the pelican (i usually go for beaver or fox, because i feel i’d like to have fur and a purpose). if you were a pelican you would have quite a large mouth and an impressive wingspan, i think. you could visit the sea and also migrate to other places and see so many things.
but even pelicans have things they must do and creatures with whom they absolutely must interact. you would get to make very loud noises, though, which would probably be great for releasing tensions.
but you can visit the sea as you are.
and you can fly south and eat new fruits and see the tops of those trees, too.
you can even scream.
but you really absolutely can’t push us all away. some of us would be fun to eat new fruits with. some of us even know shortcuts.
rachel k is pretty cute, am i right? prettier than jiz lee, even.
rachel k is pretty cute, you are right.
she’s also very pleasant to be near. when rachel is in a room, the room feels better. you feel better, yes, but i mean to say that the room - the space itself - is grateful to be filled by her.
rachel is a person i love very much.
What is a normal dating/casual period of seeing a girl before getting into a relationship with them? Also, <3 the lesbian interwebs, blogs, kelka, and autostraddle. I wouldn’t be such a well adjusted young adult lesbo without all of it.
i have no idea. i guess you just say, “i would like to be the one who is your only one for a while and see how that goes. what do you say to that?” and then if she says, “yes i like this plan” then that amount of time was the normal amount of time.

When did you first have sex with a woman? Was it scary or awkward or sexy?
i feel like almost nothing i ever do is sexy and almost everything i do is awkward and i’m usually scared of everything, so there you go.
Do you have a celebrity crush?
i just had an embarrassingly detailed and elaborate dream about kate moennig in which we met at a friend’s party and she wanted to have sex with me but i wouldn’t let her right away because i didn’t want her to think i was ‘that kind’ of girl. instead i flirted and made her take to a juice bar where she made fun of me for not getting anything with blueberries because they would get stuck in my teeth and on the walk back to her loft i thought, “i could really get used to this,” because she held open all the doors and touched my forearm really lightly and looked at me like i might be the most amazing thing she’d ever seen.
and i woke up wondering if she’d call or text or if she’d just been leading me on so she could get me in bed.
so i guess FUCKING KATE MOENNIG JESUS CHRIST. what a fucking cliche.
I just got new housemates and my powerbill has gone up by 100%. How do I tell them to watch less tv/use the clothesdryer less/blargh without sounding PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE?
you get out the previous month’s statement and this month’s statement and you sit down over [beverage / food of choice] and you explain that these things aren’t coincidences and that [specific things] will have to change because a) fossil fuels, etc. and b) money.
you can always preface the conversation with “i don’t mean to sound like a hard ass (smile)…” but actually you do mean to sound like a hard ass, so i would just go the direct route and refrain from dancing around the issue. there’s really nothing wrong with being a hard ass, by the way.
