I just realized, not only have I just skipped a class, but I need to be at work in 25 minutes. It takes 20 minutes to get there, and I’m still in my pjs - aka naked. So the rest of my posts will have to be in short form and all crammed together into one neat little package commonly refered to as a "Round-up post" but I hate this title and will therefore call it "Batman and Robin arn’t gay! Shut up!"

Erika has informed me today that its alright to listen to the Spice Girls now. Phewph. I was about to go crazy from the lack of Spice in my life. …Wow, double meaning. Not only do I not have the spice girls - but I’m also bored stiff of where I life. Actually, that’s not completely true. I’m not bored stiff of BC. I actually really like it here. Its gorgeous, and my friends are fantastic. Not to mention all the boys here are 40xs more attractive than boys anywhere else I’ve been. But that’s a moot point. …However, BC isn’t New York. And New York is where my thyme is.

The Friendly Atheist explains a conversation he had with a friend about being an atheist, and her not being an atheist. Honestly, I think he was easy on her. …When people start talking to me about religion I take it as an opportunity to run my mouth and explain to them why believing in one God, but not like… Vishnu is just silly and if they’re going to be Christian they might as well be Wiccan too and try to work their magic Jesus powers on me. Alright, I don’t usually get to that point - but …whatever. However, this does raise a point I wanted to bring up at some point….

And that is that Richard Dawkins can be a Fukking tool sometimes. I used to love him to death because of his extreme views. However, these extreme views leave no room for respect for people who do choose to be religious. …In an article I read in Wired he expresses very clearly that there should be no religious tolerance. That religion needs to be stripped from the earth entirely. …While I do think the world would be better off without religion, I can’t see the logic of not respecting someone because they do believe in a particular religion…

There are a couple posts on Feministing that I wanted to get to. The first is a picture that I’m absolutely in love with. Lovely. Really.
The second is a sickening story. Jessica already said it, but the first thought that came to my mind "why are we removing the victim, as opposed to the rapists?" If there is a fear these boys are going to sexually assault a girl there is some seriouse problems. The solution isn’t to remove the girl from their sexually victimizing hands, but to teach these boys that sexual assault is not an option, and to teach them and imbed into their heads the appropriate behaviour to be eluding. If the teachers simply remove the girl, then what happens when there is a situation where the girl can’t be removed by an authority figure?  It seems as though the most backward approach ever was taken in the situation.

Ecogeek points us toward a company in Colorado that is setting up solar panels for free. I think it’s a swell idea. …You’re still paying for electricity, but not the electricity that is running our earth dry of some resources.

At CUSS I read some of the most disturbing things ever. Seriously. I’m not even saying that lightly. The MOST disturbing things I have ever read.

A repulsive term that is literally not funny at all is "soft jacob".  This was the first term that came up in my anonymous searcher’s quest for soft-serve vagina.
Rebecca, Elle, and I spent a good 30 minutes laughing hysterically out of shock and horror at definitions of the word "donkey punch".  Derivations of the term "donky punch" provided extra fits of laughter, as did the hideous definitions of "pink sock".

Fucking sick, yo. (And not the good thug sick either.)

And last, I wasn’t going to link to it at all, but since I’m doing a link post I might as well… It’s pretty sad that Alon is having to deal wtih someone right now that thinks that giving women opportunites is actually being discriminatory to men. I’ve replied a couple times to him, but I’m fucking done because he’s a tool. Not only is he a tool, he is an arrogant tool. I don’t mind arrogant people, as long as they have reason to be arrogant, and this guy has no reason to be arrogant.
