I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Wimbledon:

The interviewer was totally trying to make Andy Murray cry. Or show some emotion. How does it FEEL, ANDY? What about your parents! He just seems really shy. But good for him. Should be an interesting final.

I joined Tumblr for visual input, and to get away from the verbal.

And you post a lot of very pretty pretty.

My only problem with tumblr (besides it's wonky searching and tag functions) is that I like to look at it at work. Occasionally there's some naked nudey in my dash. And I always panic that I someone will walk into my cubicle just as there's a naked person on screen that I am desperately trying to scroll past.

I have removed my the Fassy blog I was following for just that reason.

I've had to stop following a couple blogs because of that same reason. I'm fine if people want to post naked people! I'd just rather not have porn shots on my dash.

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

I have a separate tumblr account where the nekkid goes. And obviously I don't check that one at work. Because once you decide that's where tumblr nekkid goes...that's a lot of nekkid.

However, what remains is clearly not work-related (are there content management tumblrs???), but at least it's not prurient. There's a me account, provocateuse, fanartist, nekkid, fannish gag tumblr..and I think that's all. I have probably said more under my real name than I should have, but...part of me is kinda brazen at this point.

Which isn't exactly responsible.

I think the crapsuck from this morning is largely mitigated. Still, FRUSTRATING. God, people. I can't stand behind my word if it's coming from you and you won't stand behind yours. Thank god there are nice people here.

I've thought about that...But there wasn't that much nekiid to begin with. I'd have to find MORE naked to follow.

Sue, if you want the...you know what...nudge nudge, say no more...

It's amazing--there's a metric shitload of not just fandom, but you could lose yourself in Supernatural or Sherlock or whatever, and it took me longer than it should have to realise there's pretty much non-overlapping sets of radfem, trans* issues, and every kind of nudity you could imagine. The specific focusses that people are expressing. Dayum. I am impressed by the range of human interest and desire.

Okay, can all the developers please go to lunch and not invite me? Like, honestly, please do that. They've asked my manager, and I'm just hoping the tacit I'm-a-bitch understanding includes excluding me.

Because books.

I like the sexisnotheenemy tumblr because it's a got a great range of images, and also some quotes on sex and sexuality that are always worth reading.

Sounds like time for a strategic washroom break.
