My favorite of all the early-20th century American propaganda posters.
“You can’t beat the Axis if you get VD!”
My theory about this poster is that “beating the Axis” is actually slang for masturbation.
omg

Also: once I was walking with my friend, and someone shouted ‘lesbians’ at us from a car driving by. Once I didn’t respond to hecklers on a porch, and they threw beer bottles at me. Once I turned someone down for a date and he followed me for weeks.

Ugh! That is so… I have no idea! I have no clue what I’d do in that sort of situation. It is just really really fucked up!!

It’s also really awful, and I’ve seen this firsthand, how the hecklers will instantly turn on women who don’t respond favorably. How much more entitled can you get?

Do men actually say things like "suck my cock" while you are walking down the street? Or just randomly say shit about your body?
I mean, I have experienced a lot of gazing, staring, etc. Especially by gay guys in very gay areas. But I don't think anyone has ever *said* something to me while I was walking...

Because it addresses SO MANY THINGS and attempts to explore them:

stfuconservatives asked: Yeah, before I was diagnosed, I always thought OCD was alphabetizing the bottles in your shower and stuff. I'm a slob, so I thought I must have some breed of undiscovered insanity. I never told ANYONE until I finally mentally collapsed from stress and lack of sleep. But yeah, what I experienced - and it sounds like you have the same thing - is compulsively obsessing about a certain unfounded...
stfuconservatives asked: If it's keeping you up at night like that, it bears investigation. I slept with all the lights on for YEARS. and the sedatives that treat this kind of anxiety-heavy OCD are *amazing*.
stfuconservatives asked: I saw your posts about OCD. I was diagnosed with OCD and a garden variety anxiety/panic disorder with symptoms like you described. i used to stay up until four or five in the morning freaking out that the little girl from The Ring was in my room or something. Obsessive thoughts like that are a lesser-described symptom of OCD - I don't have to wash my hands 100 times a day or put everything in...
aaronitron replied to your post: rituals
Well, you could have something like OCD. But unless you feel like your OCD-like behavior is negatively impacting your life, then why worry all that much about it?
That’s naturally the big qualifier for these sorts of things, if it’s really affecting your quality of life.
Sometimes it doesn’t impact my life much at all. Sometimes I wind...

to add to my list of “stuff to talk to CAPS about once school starts”: I think I might be obsessive/compulsive. Like, not in an “oh I’m so OCD about keeping my books organized! hehe” way, but in an, “I sometimes freak the fuck out thinking about scary movie-type scenarios, and have ritualized ways to protect myself from those scenarios, and I feel anxious and...

Also Kindergaren Cop was shot in Astoria as well. Umpqua’s monthly flavors are great too (see, pumpkin pie ice cream, lemon creme pie ice cream). And Tillamook cheese. and basically everything but people who run Roseburg.
Yeah pretty much the one thing I don’t like about Oregon would be the people in southern/eastern OR.

Umpqua Dairy products, in particular, their ice cream. See: Mint Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Peanut Butter for all the evidence you’ll ever need.
Seriously though. I know you think that whatever ice cream you like is the best. You are wrong.

I know how sensitive and PC the internet can be. I do not mean to diminish the tragedy and horror of 9/11. I still remember waking up and watching it unfold on TV, and I remember the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. But I can’t in all honesty say I was scared. Did I take it somewhat personally? Sure. It was an attack on America, and on buildings that were recognized...

I also really like how the woman dancing in the foreground has little tummy folds from leaning over while getting her clap on.
When I look at a picture of people partying like crazy in media, all those little folds are carefully shopped out. But some Egyptian artist took the time to draw them in. I love it.

slight spoiler but they don’t explain that but that’s a good point. in a way, it kind of feels like tara going to that lady in the bus all over again.
I forgot about that debacle. You’re right, it kind of does feel like that. It’s also just a fabulous case of cognitive dissonance on Arlene’s part.

Things I Don't Get: True Blood Edition
Why is it that Arlene is 100% set against going to a clinic, because “that’s wrong”, but she has no problem with the “Wiccan” waitress’s herbal/magical abortifacients? (Which is what I’m assuming “other ways of not being pregnant” means.) Um, honey, induced abortion is induced abortion, in a clinic or with your friendly local witch lady....
