A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

One day of school left.

Please hurry.

And tell me why, for the love of God, the PTA wants to give their teacher appreciation thing at 1 pm on the last day of school, an hour after kids are released, while teachers are trying to grade and enter the two finals taken that morning and do the 18 zillion things on our check out list before we can leave?

Unless it's filet and truffled potatoes with creme brulee, it's not appreciation. It's...I appreciate the gesture, but the timing makes it an annoyance.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Would you call it bestiality if the other species is sentient?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No.

Wait, are you talking about aliens? Or an Earth species? If you're talking about, say, dolphins, and assuming dolphins are sentient and could consent to interspecies sex... then I don't know.

I don't think it should matter. Sentient and consenting is sentient and consenting.

I hope so. Otherwise the Smallville fic I've been reading lately takes on new overtones.

Yeah, that makes sense.

It seems part of the reason bestiality is considered immoral is that animals can't consent to sex with humans. Which is obviously not an issue with a sentient, consenting dolphin.

"So long, and thanks for all the sex"?

I think the problem with dolphins is that they don't care so much about consent, really.

Damn, I left my smoothie in the car. And I'm too lazy to go get it before my three o'clock.

Huh. Googling "sentient and consenting" (with the quotes) comes up with 816 results, mostly sci-fi-related.

Now I'm thinking there should be a porn site called sentientandconsenting.com....
