THIS IS KIND OF LIKE MY INTERNET JUNK DRAWER.SOMETIMES WITH ELEMENTS OF EMOTIONAL PURGE.
My appointment with the dermatologist to get my various moles and whatnots looked at is in an hour and, really, I’m so nervous about this that I want to puke.

Noooooo, not good. Mastitis?
God, I hope not. I think its just been used and abused.
I forgot to invite my parents to my father-in-law’s memorial service tomorrow.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
That’s not going to be a fun conversation.

Oh god, let’s just blame it on the fact that it’s early and despite being up for 2 hours, I’m still not quite fully awake, but I just commented on something on Facebook and lawd, I hope everyone understands it’s a joke. Seriously, though, if anyone thinks that I really find the word “vagina” offensive and not fit to say in front of women or mixed company, I will die. Because really. But you know there is someone out there that doesn’t know about what happened and probably won’t read the sarcasm.
The point of this post is I probably should probably treat FB comments like I do most of my Tumblr replies - type it out and then delete it before hitting send so that nobody knows the true levels of my (insert appropriate word here because I can’t quite come up with one right now).
Since I’m all up in Change.org signing petitions, I thought I would pass this along too in case there are people that haven’t seen or signed this one yet:
The following are actual pages on Facebook: ”Raping your mates girlfriend to see if she can put up a fight”, “Kicking Sluts in the Vagina,” “I know a silly little bitch that needs a good slap,” and “Riding your Girlfriend softly, Cause you dont want to wake her up.” These clearly are in violation of Facebook’s own policies and need to be removed.
Facebook’s own Terms of Service prohibit content that is “hateful, threatening,” or contains “graphic or gratuitous violence” Moreover, users are specifically barred from posting content that aims to “bully, intimidate, or harass” any user.
Facebook could and should do more to stop them from popping up in the first place and to swiftly remove those that do exist. First, Facebook needs to clarify that pages that encourage or condone rape —like the ones mentioned above— are in violation of their existing standards. Secondly, they need to make a statement that all pages that describe sexual violence in a threatening way will be immediately taken down upon being reported. Finally, Facebook must include specific language in their Terms of Service that make it clear that pages promoting any form of sexual violence will be banned.
Demand that Facebook took a stronger stand in enforcing its own policies and stop promoting rape and rape culture.
Wherein I admit that I’m kind of old*…
I’m watching The Soup for the first time in years. The last time I watched it, Greg Kinnear was the host, and I’m pretty sure it was called Talk Soup back then.
In related news, I found 2 new gray hairs today.
*Yet, my face is STILL breaking out like a teen.
