An overabundance of sexual appetite, spilling over from the natural objects of attraction to individuals of the same gender. And, as we all know, sexual appetite in any notable quantity is to be looked askance at.

Is that the Victorian angle? From what I've read, it seems that expressions of passion of most sorts was frowned upon in the Victorian age. Affection and enough physical attraction to procreate were accepted, but love and, god forbid, lust, were discouraged--which led to the almost desperate expression of natural impulses in clandestine ways.

I've been trying to find studies of homosexuality in pre-modern times, because I'm fascinated by the history of social ideas, and most of them do comment on how difficult it is to find contemporary commentary because attraction to the same gender was just what some people did, not something that would help define who a person was. That always struck me as somehow a little more egalitarian than the current approach by some homophobes that "those people" are unnatural. It's much simpler to ostracize "those people" rather than accept that same-sex attraction could be something on the normal scale of behavior.

So it was Freud who delineated homosexuality as a whole way of being instead of a way of acting?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Thanks for the PT feedback-- I have some exercises to do in the meantime, but hopefully my doc gets back to me soon.

bon bon,

my student broke her wrist and while she has been doing exercises, she still needs PT to manipulate her hand and wrist in ways that she cannot on her own.

you should do the exercises every day and as often as you can, but you still need external manipulation to get the full range of motion.

Definitely sooner rather than later on PT. we have not been transferred. Creeping up on 24 hours here in the ER. All of our graham crackers are gone. How do I get more?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Given the number of Presidents we have had, odds are pretty good we have had had at least one President who engaged in same sex romance.

Surely Reagan counts given how many gay men he screwed during the AIDS crisis?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, SNAP.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Oh Kat, that is so sucky. Is K coming by to spell you or bring food?

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

I have been spending too much time in online discussions, because I just snapped at tech support for our corporate application--I ranked our problem as most severe (because the system's users can't use it), and they downgraded the priority. I kinda went off on them, but at least the developer is cheering me on.

(She snapped at me earlier today, because I gave her a shortcut timesaver, and ... and I don't even know what. But she snapped. I told her I didn't care how hard or easy her solution was, just that we have deadlines, so do whatever. When I got back from the meeting, she'd taken the shortcut.)

William Mapother just doesn't have an engaging persona in this movie.

Does he ever?
