My parents have been married almost 35 years, and guess what they spent 20 minutes arguing about tonight?
A conversation from 1977 in the ski area carpark where my Dad tried to explain that the car didn’t have synchromesh on 1st. Because he was going to go off in a helicopter to feed out hay to some stranded sheep & Mum was going to have to drive the car down the mountain for the first time ever. Mum swears the conversation never happened.
I need to start stocking up on dictaphones for my Dad’s retirement party. There are going to be some epic drunken stories come out then.

"We all grew up in a world in which there was assumed to be nothing between emotionless sport fucking and committed long-term marriage-type relationships, leaving the vast territory in between open to discovery by relationship pioneers of all stripes, including ourselves. What interesting ways of relating to people might we, and you, find between these two poles? When we include *all* of our connections in our picture of relationships, we expand the definition of what a relationship can be."
The world has been made safe now From oceans to mountains so steep It’s time to put down your shield, captain And go the fuck to sleep.
The hammers are all sitting still now And the bilchsteim make not a peep I don’t care that it’s daytime on Asgard This is Earth, and we fucking sleep.
The spiders are safe in their webs now Their bites make no one else weep This is your official downtime Use it to fucking sleep.
The bows have all been unstrung now The arrows have made their last leap I don’t care whose room you nest in Just go the fuck to sleep.
The formulas have all been proven now The scanners are doing their sweep You know what I hear helps when you’re angry? Going the fuck to sleep.
No more AIs hacking my system now No more damn machines that go beep So put down the soldering iron You can dream up reactors while you sleep.
I know seventy years is a long time To be dozing way down in the deep But I know you’re tired, stop lying And go the fuck to sleep.
The astrophysicists are stargazing Or would, if their attention you didn’t keep Who even taught you about skype sex Wait, I don’t care, just sleep.
Tomorrow you can work on your ledger Tomorrow through corridors you can creep But tonight I really don’t need you Get the fuck off the bridge and sleep.
The hawks tuck under their wings now The little chicks no longer cheep You want me to stop making bird puns? Go the fuck to sleep.
The monitors dim their glow now And the data is piled in a heap Yes, fine, we’ll move a cot to the lab If you promise to just fucking sleep.
The helicarrier moves quietly now And aboard no one makes even a peep Oh shit, what the fuck, Stark Get back to your room and sleep!
"Menstrual blood is the only source of blood that is not traumatically induced. Yet in modern society, this is the most hidden blood, the one so rarely spoken of and almost never seen, except privately by women, who shut themselves in a little room to quickly and in many cases disgustedly change their pads and tampons, wrapping the bloodied cotton so it won’t be seen by others, wrinkling their faces at the odor, flushing or hiding the evidence away. Blood is everywhere, and yet the one, the only, the single name it has not publicly had, for many centuries, is menstrual blood."

I can’t believe I had never considered this before. What a fantastic point!
unlubricated-anal-sex:
people who believe the whole “if a key opens a lot of locks it’s a good key, but if a lock opens to a lot of keys it’s a bad lock!!!” shit about sex
if my vagina is a lock, your dick sure as hell isn’t the key because when you buy a lock, the key usually comes with it you fuckheads as in i have the fucking key to my own vagina, not you and no im not letting you in because your dick smells like butts and misogyny

Just a reminder that the Ponds are leaving, John still thinks Sherlock committed suicide, and Benedict didn’t win the BAFTA.
I’m not crying, there’s BBC in my eye.

Case For Sunscreen of the Day: This man is 69 years old.
He drove a truck for 28 years.
The premature aging from sun damage to the left side of his face is extensive enough to warrant a feature in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Trucker or not, don’t forget your sunscreen.
