Someone email me that link so I can look at it when I am not at work.
The counter-argument from queer people opposed to that is that (1) "queer" = / = all "non-standard" sexuality, and (2) heteroromantic asexuals easily pass for plain old heterosexual and therefore benefit from straight privilege and are not oppressed.
Yes. And #2 is correct. Can you marry any person who you fell in love with legally in all 50 states in the US? Then my violin for you is VERY SMALL, and you need to GET OFF MY LAWN, or I will CUT YOU DED.
Yes. And #2 is correct.
Oh, I totally agree. Asexuality (particularly aromantic and heteroromantic) is non-typical sexuality, but it still isn't queer just by virtue of being non-typical sexuality.
Oh my god. I just right-clicked something and it took twenty seven seconds for the menu to pop up. Whoever normally works here must not use this computer much, because... it can't do much.
Looking at zuisa's tagline (When I was nine years old, I think I wanted to be a brontosaurus.) ... well, your (temporary) computer's a dinosaur - is that close enough?
Haha, absolutely.
The tagline is actually a quote from Fringe, but it's still valid. What nine-year-old DOESN'T want to grow up to be a dinosaur?
I spent several months working receptionist temp jobs in DC in 1994-1995, and boy are you taking me back, zuisa! For one thing, this was before the internet. At best I could expect to play computer solitaire; sometimes I had no computer at all, and once I had a typewriter for 2 weeks. In many, many cases I barely had anything to do, and phones never rang. I packed books and read, and studied classical Greek, and typed letters and postcards to people.
studied classical Greek
This sounds awesome.
I'm SO lucky there's internet, even if the computer is basically useless otherwise. I really should write something or study something. It'd be a much better use of my time.
Very lucky there's internet! I was temping right after college and a lot of places had blocked the web...and some had even blocked solitaire! Sad.
I really want to have to stop putting the A/C on. Come on, fall.
Hah--I was just thinking last night that I really should take the fan out of my window, because it's too cold here now (a week after our very brief "summer")
