    Beer tasting! I love buying interesting new beers and trying to figure out what I taste in them, but I suck at it so far. That would be such a cool, cool, dream job-- as long as it wasn't swill like bud light.

    Sayad Parwez Kambaksh is a man. There's a facebook group devoted to his plight as well as more info on BBC News. [www.facebook.com]

    I think that Khede Kasra story from feministing deserves its own separate story on Jezebel. That video is fascinating and brings up a lot of great points on gender and language.

    @kansasgirl: agreed. That was fascinating. Watching feminism in real time in another culture -- through grammar -- and seeing it be successful is inspiring.

    Selling their wives? Did I read that right? Is that, or is that not, slavery?

    I've been thinking a lot about teen pregnancy because I've been mentoring a 14-year-old. It seems to me the most effective method would be an ad campaign, a series of pictures captioned with either:


    *Things you can do in your 20s if you don't have a kid*

    or

    *Things you can do in your 20s if you have a kid*


    The first would consist of pictures of me drinking lots, going to raves, getting a PhD, travelling through Europe in some hippy's van, smoking opium somewhere in Singapore, and having sex with anonymous hot men. The second would consist of pictures of me breast-feeding and watching TV shows where adults dress up like children and are interminably cheery, and cleaning vomit off my shirt.

    @lalinguist: One of the core problems though is for many young women who get pregnant, those aren't really the options. There's almost no chance of them travelling through Europe or working on their Masters or any of those things. It's pretty much be poor and have a baby now, or be poor and have a baby later. I know that sounds horrid and bleak, but I've worked a ton on pregnancy prevention in both small towns and huge cities, and while it would work with a very small subset of young women (who already have certain internal fortification) it would be meaningless for a lot. Even getting them to a place where they feel like they are worthy enough to set goals: "travel outside my town", "graduate high school", "turn my step-father in to the cops for raping me" can be a major fucking accomplishment.

    After all these years, it still kills me that Congress gets to dictate the entirety of law in D.C. Not only do residents not have Congressional representation, but they are at the mercy of other district's representatives on top of it.

    I wonder why the UK program(me) failed. The theories they offer are kind of stupid.


    On a more frivolous note, drunk/high animal stories are always fun. Poor badger just had a bad hangover.
