Apple Watches truly need a feature that measures how much we need to overcome to do the simplest tasks some days.

According to the Sexual Health and Rights Project, sex workers are more likely to experience violence from the police. Not pimps or traffickers, not clients, not other sex workers. The fucking police!! And the half dozen SWs who have been clients of mine universally confirm this. ACAB!!!

Seriously, don't give me that crap about women desiring power just as much as men. It doesn't hold an historical candle. For every Lucretia Borgia, there are 100,000 Trumps and Netanyahus.

Mental judo: understanding the mindset of a dweeb to catch a dweeb.

I love the majesty of the Great Egret. (From Consumnes River Preserve south of Sacramento) We love hiking there and taking pics.

My experience is that for men who see women as equals, treat them openly with respect and dignity, there is no male loneliness epidemic.

OMG…this is deep and instructive.

Yes, it’s a paywall. The study is broad and shows that sexual monogamy and social monogamy are not the same thing. Like bonobos, we may have one lifetime social partner and many sexual partners. Strict monogamy was never natural for humans. So why do we keep trying? - BBC Science Focus Magazine

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

Apparently, telling women in their 40s that the symptoms they call peri-menopause could also be indicators of other things is something a male therapist should never do--even if he got the information from Jen Gunter and even if he's fucking right. And no, I won't elaborate. NEVER AGAIN.

The goddess of the Crossroads--Hekate-- teaches us this: Do not fear the crossroad. You do not need to choose perfectly, or see clearly. Choose your path as you will. Live your life as you will. Embrace pleasure, pain, knowledge, and chaos as you will. This is how a life is lived fully.

So first they refuse to feed the troops. Now, they want to subject them to the very simplest and easily deniable of germ warfare. It's like they look at the members of the armed forces as completely expendable and worth experimenting upon.

He only cared about ONE thing...how it looked on TV. Enough has been said regarding the impossible healing job...not enough said about the depravity it takes to kill your followers to make good television.

Kimmel's team scores with the best one yet!

Interestingly, with the emergence of female empowerment in dating relationships--especially sexually--many men are being told their efforts are sub-par. It should have happened years ago. If you want to improve: 1. Listen to what she tells you. 2. Learn Tantra, Kegels, and expert Oral tips.

I fully believe this could have been the conversation. I know we had it in our house.

The gods may have all the power, but we mortals have the best stories.

For those of you who scoff at reports of a website where men post pictures of drugging their wives and then raping them…and scoffing at 62 million visits, listen up.

Never ever denigrate the abilities of the RCMP to get their man.

When my dad would be watching football on television, I was fascinated by the instant replay. I actually thought they lined up and redid the play, only in slow motion. My dad realized I believed this when he watched my brother and I re-enact football plays in slow motion in the back yard. I was 7

What makes me fucking furious is that the stupid Strait of Hormuz is only open when the stock market is. You don’t have to be an economist—or a conspiracy theorist—to know that tariffs, wars, and attacks on certain companies and industries are gifts to Prez’s investor friends and family.

So now you know, what will you do?

I am using Klonopin for an "off-label" use. The nerve condition in my leg was causing over a half dozen leg cramps a night. I was sleeping 3-4 hours. My quality of life was in the toilet. But the Klonopin at night stopped the cramps However... I now have depression until noon every day Not after.

Texts I would have rather preached from instead of that patriarchal nonsense: —Pulp Fiction —The Princess Bride —A River Runs Through It —Breakfast Club —Delta of Venus (Anaïs Nin) —Marvel comics —The Ethical Slut

Where was the option of using Pulp Fiction quotes instead of the bible when I was a preacher?

One key truth I learned from Jungian philosophy as applied to our sexual/creative self is this: If you have shame about sex, or if you repress your sexuality, you are so easy for others to control. Our sexuality is so much more than having sex. It is our individualistic energy in the world.

You have a part of your brain that actually decides what pain, pleasure, and other physical sensations mean. It's called the Nucleus Accumbens. Science assumed it to be the pleasure center of the brain. It's not. Working with the prefrontal cortex, the NAc decides how to characterize a sensation

One more for the record.

If you are having climax problems because of a medication, I have good news for you. Tantric sexuality can teach you how to have energetic orgasms that are just as powerful as the ones you were used to. Bonus for penis owners: You can have multiple energetic orgasms. Not possible with prostate.

Keep em coming everyone:

This is my favorite variation. Totally true. Not that I really care that much if someone believes in certain things, but this one takes the cake.

5.5 Earthquake in NorCal. We just got the alert. Anyone know where?

Sacnurse said to me just now: “Sometimes I look at some people and think, “Seriously, you’re the sperm that won?”

Pain and pleasure aren’t clean opposites in the brain—they overlap. The nucleus accumbens is part of a system that answers: “Is this worth moving toward or away from?”

Parts of our minds get stuck out of context. Unpacking it requires a whole brain modality such as EMDR or IFS to bring those parts up to date

Great article on the research of what draws people to BDSM. I was first drawn to it while I was in medical school. it was definitely about bringing balance and coping with childhood sexual trauma. As my career developed, endorphins from pain further helped me cope with job stress

I am not an investment guru. Do your own research. But….30 years ago, someone who does know their shit told me that every time the economy is “challenged” both Caterpillar and Coca Cola are safe bets. Every downturn, I’ve reinvested in both. I’ve always made money. Moving dirt and caffeine. Yep.

Dear Presidents GW Bush and “Kevin”…and any other future GOP Presidents: Stop getting your intel from Netanyahu concerning who has weapons of mass destruction. And may there never be another GOP Presidents.

A note to Rideshare drivers. This is such a simple thing to know: It is stupid—just plain unacceptable—for you to state racist, bigoted, and highly politicized comments to your riders. It happened TWICE this weekend to us. We refused to participate. We noted both on our ratings. No $$$

Best tv line I’ve heard in a long time: “ The old remember very well what is like to be young. But the young have no idea what it is like to be old.”

This movie year hit me hard with powerfully staged scenes about death and pain. The final scene in Hamnet where Shakespeare and his wife witness their pain and work through it as Hamlet is performed made me sob. The scene in “Train Dreams” where he lives in the ashes of his home wrecked me.

In January: My neighbor: "Why do you prune your rose bushes so drastically?" Me: "I want more roses" MN: "But you're cutting off most of the branches" Me: "I'm not growing branches, I'm growing roses." This morning:

Taking my probiotic with my antibiotic feels like the most balanced I’ve been in life in a long time.

Snakes and lobsters both grow to the point where their outer shell and skin doesn't fit. So they must shed it to become something more. Our Core Identity is like that. The evolution of Self actualization means knowing you are NOT the same person as any previous point in time in your life. Accept it

The results of this box show a couple who are emotionally at very different places of course. Is there hope for them? If this woke him up and he decided to set out on a journey for his Core Identity to wake up and embrace emotional intelligence, then yes there is hope.

My trans daughter, who was a member of the 82nd Airborne Division and was part of the first wave into the Iraq war, had two close friends say their units were put on 24 hour notice for possibility of shipping out This is not uncommon for the 82nd. They are a readiness unit for emergency situations.
