I love Kickstarter. I think that’s clear to people who know me by now? I love it. There’s a dude named Brad Muir and he works at Double Fine and I love the games they make, so much. But before Kickstarter, every time a Double Fine game came out I was a little worried it would be their last,…

This guide will be funded in the next hour or so. So if you have a problem with it (as I do), you might want to look for yourself and report if you feel that is appropriate.

Been playing around with an idea for a Sci Fi Dystopian story. Here’s the premise:

There’s a fictional world in which most of the species fits into one of two types, the “life givers” and the “non life givers.” The life givers are actually able to grow new life forms inside their body. The…

ok so lemme do a short thing about virginity/ tightness of vagina. Your vagina gets looser as you become more sexually aroused during intercourse. This is why when you normally put a finger in your vagina, its a lot tighter than when you put it in when you’re aroused. The myth that the vagina is tighter when you’re a virgin is caused by 2 things

1) cis men love the idea of “ruining” a woman’s body  (as shown by porn) and they get some sort of sick pleasure from thinking that after having sex with a woman, she will never be the same again.

2) women are more anxious during their first time, which results in them being less sexually aroused and their vagina being more contracted.

if your have kids young enough, your vagina will literally return to it’s previous tightness. That’s how elastic it is. There is no way your vagina becomes “looser after having sex with lots of men”. that’s just slut shame-y bullshit. 

Men who brag about shit like “her pussy was tight as hell for me. I ruined that pussy” are just bragging about the fact that they couldnt sexually arouse her enough for her to loosen enough. Which means they are awful at sex. They are bragging about being fucking awful at sex.

The only time your vagina becomes looser is with age and after multiple births. 

Anyone who tells you differently is dumb. 

So many great posts on my dash tonight.

This is completely true.

The vagina has been observed to actually expand in order to prepare itself to hold semen during arousal so if a guy is bragging about how tight the women he fucks are, he’s bad at sex and you should not fuck him.

Also, the bolded. This is also why the myth of the hymen being “broken” after having sex for the first time exists.

As I was polishing off my second yard-long frozen margarita at Mandalay Bay on Friday night, I realized I neglected to inform all of you that I was going out of town for a much-needed long weekend and wouldn’t be updating. I thought of you, Tumblr, because I heard about this: another mass shooting. Another AR-15, like at Newtown and Aurora.

And this one hit close to home. Like, six miles from home. I was in Santa Monica last weekend, frying my skin off at the beach. I went to college with tons of transfers from Santa Monica College, where some of the shootings took place. I don’t live in Santa Monica but I don’t live far from it.

4,850 Americans dead from gun violence since Newtown. In four days, it will be the six-month anniversary of Newtown. We’ve sacrificed nearly five thousand more people to our national fetish for guns and gun ownership. We have failed to pass universal background checks. We have failed to ban assault weapons. We have failed to limit ammunition. The price tag for unfettered, unlimited weapons ownership in America tops nearly 5,000 human lives in less than six months. Was it worth it?
