Welcome to my Daily Headache

I'm Megan. I'm a 22 year old, newlywed, liberty-loving, college student who happens to be enlisted in the U.S. Navy. I deploy often and have a job that leaves me with a lot of free time to entertain myself with the internets.

I mostly regurgitate things I find on other people's tumblrs but since it gives credit automatically its not stealing, right?

GIVEAWAY!

I don’t wear this necklace but feel like some peeps on tumblr would enjoy it. So I’m giving it away. You don’t have to reblog this if you don’t want, just like the post. I will give you until Wednesday at Noon MST to like/reblog the post. Then I will put the names of the people who like/reblog it into random.org and the first one that it pulls up is the winner! (liking and reblogging will put your name in there twice though, so there’s that to think about).

The only rule is that you have to be within the continental U.S. Sorry, I’m poor and if I’m shipping this at no cost to you I don’t want it to be a huge cost to me.

After I pick the winner I’ll announce who it is and send that person an email (if they have contact info on their page. If not I’ll discuss how to make sure it’s you I’m sending it to).

I don’t care about bumping up my tumblarity or anything, I just don’t want it to be a race to send me emails begging for the necklace. I’d rather this choice be random.

Have fun. :)

(p.s. - yes, it’s a polaroid.)

This is an interesting flow chart of pro and con arguments regarding gay marriage apparently collected via Facebook. Click through for the large version, it is worth the read.

The parts with * on them are actual direct quotes. The rest are summaries.

The “I’m not religious but I still need a category of humans I can look down upon” and “Let gay couples be as miserable as straight couples” quotes in particular made me laugh.

Why Bisexuality is the Most Mature Orientation ::: By Melanie

fuckyeahbisexuals:

Controversial title? Oh yes. Controversial post? Not really, but I’ll let you decide that.

I was walking out of a building today and held the door open for the man who was exiting behind me. I turned slightly to look at him as he said “thank you.” He was, quite possibly, one of the most beautiful humans I’ve ever seen. As my darling husband knows, I am quick to point out to him beautiful people, be they male or female. As I see it, admiring people is like admiring a piece of art, and admiring the beauty of people strikes me as one of greatest compliment to the divine artist who created them. Yes, perhaps it’s a bit odd that I (a straight female) point out hot women to my husband (a straight male), but it is precisely the fact that this strikes me (and possibly you) as odd that makes me think that bisexual people are really more mature than the rest of us.

The second we begin to say “I like men because…” or “I like women because…” we find that we are committing the error of gender essentialism. In laymen’s terms, gender essentialism is what we do when we say that men or women “are” a certain thing or are predisposed to act in certain ways. (i.e. “Women are caring and sensitive.” “Men are powerful and do not cry easily.”) Basically, making blanket statements about either gender and (often) then inferring certain activities that are “appropriate” for each gender. (i.e. “Women should be mothers.” “Men should be leaders.”) In a very, very simplistic comparison, gender essentialism does on a gender level what racism does on a racial level.

So how does all of this relate to the beautiful person I saw today or to why bisexuality is the most mature orientation? To put it as controversially as possible, the rest of us only care about what is or is not hanging between your legs. More Here…

Personal Note: I just put this up here because I found it and thought it was cute. This is a kind of “excerpt” click on the link for the whole thing.

And what about if you say “I like men because they have penises” or “I like women because they have vaginas”? That is not a stereotype. It is the damn truth.
