Real grief.

It's been a while since I threw a couple lectures at you. Sometimes, when Netflix doesn't feel like the answer, and you realize you've listened to all your podcast/interview things twice now and there aren't any new ones because they don't come out frequently (the good ones, which I've been meaning to compile and link to for a while now), and you watched quite a few multimedia stories (like these pieces of spectacular honesty by Maisie Crow)

... the only things left, to engage your mind; you're sleepless, slightly bored, but curious, your mind is racing, but not in a particularly formal, "I should be getting things done" frame-of-mind, (a state I, and I imagine a portion of you as well, find myself in with relative regularity)... well, maybe, in this state, something like this might be appealing. Even as something going in the background while you write, say, a blog post.





Fucking kids these days.


And finally, I've been working on a post about pornography, but it's become something larger and surprisingly better than I'd anticipated, so it's taking more time to finish. Soon.

But.

It's somewhat unpleasant! Porn. Yea-uch. I mean, honestly. So I started looking at gay porn.

Yup. Hi internet. I've looked at gay porn. Come burn my house down, please.

And it's super fucking interesting! Things I didn't realize, but should have:
Muscles. (Duh.)
Chest hair. (Oh. Sure.)
Much funnier textual accompaniment. (Again, duh. It would be nice to attribute this to Christopher Hitchen's theory on women and humor, but that would presume that not-funny and atrocious writing accompanying straight porn was written by women, which is a ludicrous assumption. I chalk it up to my nonsensical presumption of the inherent wittiness and proclivity of excellence in homosexual writing, or, more accurately, writing by homosexuals, but not necessarily only in regard to that topic.)
