:D

Dana…

I love you. 

This is just, seriously, it’s… I would have said this. If I was this coherent. 

Which I’m not, because I’m drunk.

I don’t know how many I’ve had. Stephanie Henry might know, but I’ve lost count in the process of trying to have sex with her. Which I won’t, because I’m in Seattle and she’s in Cleveland, but my dick doesn’t understand that reality.

What he said.

Co-signed.

The only problem I have with this is the part where it “gives you no choice.” 

What a lot of people fail to realise is that these advertisements are in public spaces because those advertisers are paying for those public spaces. You have a choice, all right: you can leave the advertisements alone, so the advertiser gets what he paid for and keeps paying… or you can piss all over it so the advertiser stops wanting the advertisement there.

Then the advertisers don’t pay for those public spaces, which means the public spaces rapidly either become private spaces or turn into complete shitholes nobody wants to hang around. 

A lot of these public parks where you should be able to take your kids without seeing advertisements used to be vacant lots where junkies and homeless people set up ugly little tents. The advertisers thought you should be able to take your kids there to play, instead, and laid out a bunch of money to make that possible. And now, they’d like to get a little credit. 

But who needs that, right? Let’s draw mustaches and penises all over the ads, to let these advertisers know they’re not welcome in our public parks. What are they going to do, shut down the public park? LOL, it’s public, dumbass. 

THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID!

To be honest, I’m not sure that my diagrams are 100% correct because I was never taught how to diagram sentences in school.

As a student, I always found diagramming sentences to be a tedious and opaque  process. I understood all the various parts of speech and how they worked thanks to Schoolhouse Rock, and it just seemed silly to me how my English teachers always wanted me to turn words into a picture to prove I understood how the words worked. 

I suppose I viewed diagramming sentences the same way kids in math viewed word problems. Why do you have to take perfectly good numbers and symbols we can understand just fine, and turn them into some rambling excuse of a story about railway timetables? 

When I was young, I used to dread the implied possibility that we would close some horrible numbers -> words -> pictures cycle by arriving in art class one day and being instructed to turn Van Gogh’s Starry Night or da Vinci’s Mona Lisa into an arithmetic expression of some sort. Instead, I walked into math class one day to be confronted by graphs of various mystery functions we were to identify, which was almost as bad. 

Since I’m naturally mathematical, people are often shocked to discover I am absolutely horrible at calculus, completely hated the subject, and honestly think it’s just an insane form of mental masturbation designed by people so geeky they won’t even have sex with themselves. Right around tenth grade is where I went “wait, this is all bullshit.” I still don’t entirely understand what a definite integral is, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen one and nobody can count to it and it’s not necessary to calculate the tip in a restaurant. 

Okay, so basically, I don’t like to get involved in this crap because a lot of animal activism is not so much about loving animals as it is about hating humans. I personally like humans, and think we are the dominant species of the planet for a reason, so if a few species have to face extinction to give our own families a place to live - well, so be it.

But this shit is BEYOND offensive. This is not “we need a place to live.” This is “we simply do not like your species, and will destroy it just because we can.” This is the difference between “self-interest” and “evil.”

This is reblogged from Neil Gaiman. I can’t do a native reblog because it was a question post, so I’m reformatting it here to make it easier for all of us to spread this around and effect a change:

And, of course, Anya was terrified. 

These GetGlue updates are so butt-ugly. I had no idea they looked this awful. I’ve turned off the connection from GetGlue to Tumblr, so there won’t be any more of that going on.
