From Mother Jones: 9 Bills That Would Put Creationism in the Classroom

I have tried five times to write about this without devolving into utterly incoherent capslock rage, and it's, uh...it's not working.  In fact, I seem to be completely incapable of writing about the current state of politics in my country without losing my fucking mind, because ( Read more... )

I got my tax refund over the weekend, and while I plan to put most of it to practical use (i.e. going halves on a new bed with Nate and getting rid of the remaining tuition on my credit card), I decided I needed to blow some of it on something fun. To that end, I ordered Phoenix Wright, Okamiden, and Pokemon White, which will serve as my ( Read more... )

I keep getting hit by creepy spammers, so I'm enabling comment-screening and CAPTCHA for non-friend comments. I don't usually get non-friend comments here, but I figured I should say something, um...just in case? Ugh, whatever. If that's not effective, I guess I'll have to go on lockdown again. I don't really want to, but I will if this keeps ( Read more... )

I stumbled over the Papo dinosaur figurines whilst rambling 'round the internets, and...holy shit, do I want them. I want them so very much. The allosaurus and stegosaurus especially, because they are gorgeous (and because the stegosaurus is my favorite saurian herbivore), but I also want the tyrannosaurus and the velociraptor.

Trauma Conference today was pretty amazing. One of the presentations was on leech therapy and how it can help with returning vascular flow to reattached digits and ears and things. And ( Read more... )

Oh, statistics. You're kind of annoying and you're way less fun than straight-up science (or, as I like to call it, SCIENCE!!!), but everything about you makes perfect sense and I can't help but love you for it. The equations always do the same thing. Always. It's so...it's so neat! And elegant! And precise! Science is messy as anything and ( Read more... )

( Nutrition grumbling. People with their own food issues may not want to read this, since I'm mainly complaining about my own and that might be triggery. )

I'm watching my telecourse materials for nutrition and they keep showing people chowing down on giant fast-food burgers and stuff, all like, "DON'T EAT THIS SHIT, IT'S BAD FOR YOUUUUUUUU!"

And all I can think is, "Oh my god, that burger looks so fucking delicious, why am I not eating one right nowPreeeetty sure that's not the message I'm supposed ( Read more... )

I'm drawing again! It's, um. Metalocalypse fanart? Except I'm drawing them as Portland hipsters, because I am a TERRIBLE PERSON. A terrible, horrible person.
