I didn't read any books today and haven't finished...
but I gave my good guy friend a sex ed lesson with the help of several Laci Green’s videos so I guess it has been a productive day? Oh, I also watched a few episodes of Storage Wars? Whoops. I really need to read the three books on my to-read list of REAL Sex Education and TRUE information about the female genitalia.

Re: Compliments
With all the internet discussion around complimenting women on their looks, I have something to say about compliments regarding a person’s mental capacity: It is insulting being called “smart/smarter” by someone because I have just expressed an opinion or belief that same someone agrees with. I don’t need your fucking validation. you’re smart because you share...

Unemployed Black Woman Pretends to be White, Job...
November 15, 2012 | Filed under: BizTechNews | Posted by: bowatkin If you don’t believe that racism in the job market is real, then please read this article by Yolanda Spivey. Spivey, who was seeking work in the insurance industry, found that she wasn’t getting any job offers. But as an experiment, she changed her name to Bianca White, to see if employers would respond differently. You’ll be shocked and amazed by her phenomenal story.
Yolanda Spivey Writes:
First, I created an email account and resume for Bianca. I kept the same employment history and educational background on her resume that was listed on my own. But I removed my home phone number, kept my listed cell phone number, and changed my cell phone greeting to say, “You have reached Bianca White. Please leave a message.” Then I created an online Monster.com account, listed Bianca as a White woman on the diversity questionnaire, and activated the account.
That very same day, I received a phone call. The next day, my phone line and Bianca’s email address, were packed with potential employers calling for an interview. I was stunned. More shocking was that some employers, mostly Caucasian-sounding women, were calling Bianca more than once, desperate to get an interview with her. All along, my real Monster.com account was open and active; but, despite having the same background as Bianca, I received no phone calls.
