I'm thinking about demanding a trophy for being Dead Last on my team today.

Shrift, you're only last because those others didn't show up at all. You should get a trophy for being there and doing it. Good on you!

ita, is your sis still doing AIDS prevention stuff?

Helicopter is circling my house. That's a bad sign, right?

You should get a trophy for being there and doing it.

In 40-degree weather. Yes.

ITA with Dana. In 40-degree weather, you should get a trophy. And handwarmers.

is your sis still doing AIDS prevention stuff?

Yes, as well as general M2M anthropology stuff when she's not teaching anthro at school. She wanted me to logic check part of a paper, but the side stuff she was telling me was so distracting I could hardly focus on her big words. Git on wit yo bad shibboleth, savlamar!

It's homophobia so severe it's pretty clearly channelled misogyny. A complete fear and rejection of anything that associates with the feminine role.

Although they can get over it juuuuust long enough to screw women. Just barely.

Is this inner city Jamaica, or just inner-city in general? I ask because I'm trying to figure out it if it's that bad here.

It's fairly regular here. I don't even blink. But, Baltimore, you know?

So I pretty much just consumed a bottle of red with my neighbors. A bottle each, to be clear. Which make me not care about the cramps. And it was a hilariously good time (a laugh until you slide off the chair in tears is always good) and the edibles I brought were a hit and almost completely consumed. But I'm sneezy from the red wine and warm from the cause of the cramps and very glad I put in the ac tonight.

Good night. We'll see about the morning. God help me if I wake at 5.

But only in the missionary position. Or, you know, it could mean something.

It makes me want to sit them down (or not) and introduce them to the wonders of (heterosexual) prostate stimulation. And point out gay men can have missionary position sex too.

Inner city Jamaica. She demonstrates some of the behaviours as happening in the US, but not the same motivation. Stuff like how the Crips won't say the word "red" because it's the Bloods colour--they will call something a "dead jacket" instead of a "red jacket". She's trying to work out if that's parallel to some of the semantic avoidance games inner city Jamaican homophobes will play.

That all just seems like a lot of verbal hoop jumping! It must be exhausting.
