Go in peace.
This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
Go in peace.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy a fascinating lecture on schizophrenia (and a little about language), courtesy of Robert Sapolsky of Stanford.

Perfection. You’ll never convince me otherwise.
- Societal expectations of masculinity
- Societal expectations to provide for women
- No long term reversible male birth control
- Men who are raped are more likely to remain silent and be dismissed or outright laughed at
- Unfair treatment in child custody battles
- No support for male victims of domestic abuse
- Media portrayal of married men as weak morons
Not men’s issues
- The friend zone
- Women not dating you
This is perfectly timed with the song i’m listening to, and it’s killing me. My stomach hasn’t hurt this much from laughter in a long time.
so an organization i am very (very) tangentially related to reposted this international women’s day thing on facebook from another person whom i know vaguely.
this seriously says “happy international women’s day to everyone…ANNNNNNND MEN!!!!!!!!!!!” i’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and think they just misread it (as “happy international women’s day to women!”) and wanted to like be inclusive or whatever but the fact that this says what it says has been making me laugh hysterically for days.
Gah. Well… The good intention was there?
Not mad about this, at all.
