Just Like A Cokey Cola...

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

for some reason one of my cats really likes the smell of chainsaw exhaust

Fair warning, this one's kind of a long one.

Recently my local Walmart put the condoms and sex toys behind a glass case and to access them you need to press the button to call someone over and open the case.

I hate that they did this. It stigmatizes safe sex because no longer is it something that can be done discretely and privately, now if you want to by condoms you have to bring a whole other human being into the process. Some people would rather die than pick out a box of condoms or a sex toy in front of a random stranger.

This is especially bad for minors. Imagine you're a 16 year old who's gonna lose their virginity that night. You're not stupid so you got to your local Wally world to purchase a box of rubbers. You can even use the self checkout! Simple, easy, no one has to see you do it and you don't have to face any judgment. Only to get there and realize in horror that you have to ask someone to open the box so you can get the condoms, and you're to nervous to do it.

Even though there are probably no consequences, still, having to ask an adult, and authority figure, for permission to do something that you know is a major social faux pas is a terrifying thought for a minor. Hell, I'm an adult and even I'd have a hard time doing that.

You see how this is bad? It makes people afraid to make smart decisions and be safe because they might face judgment for it. Making condoms harder to access is not going to make teenagers have less sex, it's going to make them have more unsafe sex.

Same with sex toys. Having a little fun in the bedroom should not be something you need anybody else's approval to do.

Having safe sex should not be stigmatized.

Having good sex should not be stigmatized.

If I were to make a list of things I feel it's ok to steel, condoms would be number three. Right under food and medicine.

Anyway, fuck Walmart for doing that. Condoms should be cheap, easy, and stress free to access for everyone.

"life is for living. and baby i live for the bit"

a good way to inspire yourself to do more is to see yourself as the wacky sitcom B plot character in your friends lives, "wouldnt it be funny to tell the friends in my phone about it." has gotten me to do anything from going to a festival (excelent) to wild camping (it went badly) (coastguard called) to trying to get the train to stonehenge (stonehenge costs money so i ended up just getting lunch in sailsbury, it was okay.) i bought a bicycle today and 20% of my reasoning was "itd be funny to surprise my roommate by coming home with a whole bike." . life is for living. and baby i live for the bit.

Found this guy today.

His name is Squorrt and he peed on me a little.

that thing where you pick a cat up and they stretch out like a happy accordion and/or shrimp. share if you agree.

So for a while now I've been looking for an atheist equivalent to "I swear to God" (I've considered "I swear to the ocean" or "I swear to the stars"), but I just realized that it totally makes sense for me because most of the time I don't actually mean what I'm swearing to.

I guess I'll keep swearing to God
