He’s probably actually a bit beefy for me here, but good lord Rob Lowe, how do you look like that at 47?! Even if photoshop’s helping he looks pretty amazing. Also, Sam Seaborn will always be one of my loves. Oh West Wing. <3
…You know, Rob Lowe would make a fantastic guest star for Mad Men. He has the perfect looks for the clothes, for one thing!

Reblogging for the first sentence, which concisely makes a very important point.

FuckYeahTomLenk: Tom Lenk story in The Advocate →
Finally found the full text of this, and am intensely excited to share. =]
Coming out but canceled: Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Tom Lenk had it all figured out—he’d announce he’s gay just as his first on-screen same-sex kiss aired on Fox’s new series Do Not Disturb. But the network had different…
Love this guy.

SO TEMPTING to make a “do you need any help with that?” remark, but I’ve possibly not been sharing your dashboard long enough for that. ;)

James, you told me that you were falling in love with me the night before my husband got released. I was seeing a friend of yours at the time. I never saw you again after that. I am not sure what happened and how…
Slut-Shaming on the Playground →
My older son is now 11 and wow… the sex negativity is increasing exponentially. It’s a sneaky value system, like a creeping vine or oozing pore…. I’m learning that what goes down in the dorm room starts on the playground. And mama ain’t havin’ it.

The Sparrow - Maria Doria Russell
The Jesuit scientists went to learn, not to proselytize. They went so that they might come to know and love God’s other children. They went for the reason Jesuits have always gone to the farthest frontiers of human exploration. They went ad majorem Dei gloriam: for the greater glory of God.
They meant no harm.
So begins one of the most captivating works of science fiction I have read in...

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
As often happens to me, just now I experienced a great moment of Bowie love. So I decided to do a nice big Tumblr picspam. Brace yourselves. Photos stolen from around Tumblr; none of them seem to credit the original photographers, sadly, so I don’t know their origins.
*puts on Station to Station to soundtrack things*
Those two photos by Andrew Kent. I post pics from this era of Bowie...

hook me up, yo
Tumblr buddies, I’m not following that many people, and I’m basically lazy and can’t be bothered finding new acquaintances. Recommend me new people to follow, or pimp me out to your friends.

In short.
Maybe my blog post of earlier can be summarised more succinctly by saying: if you want to drink green beer, I’ll think you have questionable taste, but knock yourself out. If you drink a drink called an Irish Car Bomb, do me a favour. Take a look at this photo:
That particular car bomb killed 29 people.
If you’re going to try appropriating a culture, understand what the hell it is...

ALL FANDOMS, ATTENTION PLEASE.
All fanartists, everywhere, you’re DOING IT WRONG. The only fanart is How Fucking Romantic, a collaborative art project to illustrate The Magnetic Fields’69 Love Songs. Check it out. It’s pretty amazing.

WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT
Today I finished re-reading The Waste Lands. It might be my favourite of the DT books. So wonderful. I’m not sure what The Wind Through the Keyhole (not loving the name) will really do for us, and given we’ll know what happens after I’m not sure how I’ll feel when I read it, but… YES. Thankee sai.

Lenten Poetry 1
Lent by Marianne Boruch
The second week of Lent I walked
under crows fine in their
calamity, the wide dark wings, the heavy
rusted hinge in their throats.
I heard them once,
twice, too many times. They were a cloud
of bad hooks coming down, complaining.
The path lay ahead and went up,
mostly mud, but water
moved quick under ice, the sound
of anyone crying, then door after door

And Let My Cry Come Unto Thee
As part of my Lenten journey I want to contemplate a different religious poem every day. Looking for recommendations - Christian is great, obviously, but Jewish and Muslim poetry works too. We’re three faiths with desert heat beneath our feet, after all; in our related scriptures there’s an understanding of what it might mean to spend forty days in the wilderness.
Make suggestions!...

Under the current proposals we see the Government’s preferred mechanism for delivering these outcomes – “student choice” – as an extremely risky and irresponsible experiment. It appears to rest on no more than an article of faith – a belief in the absolute wisdom of the market.

For Grace, After A Party
You do not always know what I am feeling. Last night in the warm spring air while I was blazing my tirade against someone who doesn’t interest me, it was love for you that set me afire, and isn’t it odd? for in rooms full of strangers my most tender feelings writhe and bear the fruit of screaming. Put out your hand, isn’t there an ashtray, suddenly, there? beside the bed? And...
