I can’t believe it has been a month. Actually I can, the end of semester was hell. Papers, radio station turmoil, financial doom. But, it has calmed down now.

Unfortunately, all I have to do is rant at the moment. I have this little list of links to blog about in my del.icio.us and they are all things that annoyed me when I read them.

1 – This study seems sort of problematic. In fact is reeks of inversion theory:

Lesbians’ brains reacted somewhat, though not completely, like those of heterosexual men, a team of Swedish researchers said in Tuesday’s edition of Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences.

A year ago, the same group reported findings for gay men that showed their brain response to hormones was similar to that of heterosexual women.

I just don’t feel comfortable with the line of reasoning that this leads to. Aside from the fact that it is so binarizing of genders, what about the bisexuals? I’ll elaborate more on biphobia soon – just know that it has been on my mind.

2 – Looking for casual sex online is hopeless. I know there are wonderfully sexy people out there that disprove this by the fact that they live in a real city. But in my environs? No. My latest pet peeve is men describing themselves as “dominate” instead of “dominant.” I really try my hardest not to be a grammar snob (well, maybe not my hardest) but lets learn parts of speech and use them correctly. It does a lot for one’s credibility or at least my capacity to consider a person fuckable.

On a related note, would anyone garner enjoyment from cyber-shaming the fools that send me sketchy, rude instant messages? I’d be glad to start posting chat handles if I thought they would go to nefarious use.

3 – This story makes me sad. And a bit scared.

A teacher in Kentucky is considering what to do about being fired from her job after officials learned she appeared in an adult movie more than 10 years ago.

Any other sex bloggers out there worry that what we do could come back to bite us in the ass? I wasn’t naive enough not to recognize the chance but seeing an example in print isn’t easy. I hope she wins her inevitable lawsuit. (And I don’t usually encourage suing impoverished public schools.)
