    At what point did Prejean come out against masturbation?

    How the hell does this make her a hypocrite?

    This stinks of gleefully blaming the victim because you don't like her. She didn't release that fucking tape, some jerkwad betrayed her trust.

    Her odious opinions do not make this magically ok. #sextapes

    Just trying to synthesize all of today's lessons: if she filmed her sex tape during her period, am I required to watch it? #sextapes

    I cannot be the only one a little curious as to what a "hardcore, solo" sex tape by someone like her actually entails. #sextapes

    In reply to Tween Summit Reveals The Kids Are (Mostly) Alright
    I just read an awesome story in Texas Monthly about a Tween Summit in Austin that focused on (amongst other things, of course) music - the girls formed bands, then wrote and performed their own music on stage - some of them who'd never picked up an instrument before.

    Really great organization, I was so impressed.

    I'm okay with pink and purple balloons. I'd like it if my office had some right now.

    I'm glad that some focus is being given to the fact that younger people are often extremely adept at juggling technology and day-to-day lives. At my company, we have an IM program, similar to Yahoo. Pretty much everyone under 32 uses it round the clock - because we know how to have a typed conversation about Work Topic A, attend a telecon about Work Topic B, while answering emails about Work Topics C-E. While there is some amount of personal chatter going on, it's no more than typical "watercooler" talk - but better because we can IM and work at the same time.

    Yet, increasingly, managers and older people think that the younger generation are slacking off, because they can't understand how IMing *doesn't* take 100% concentration.

    Heh, sorry to go off topic, that just reminded me of this pet peeve.

    @likepenguins: My office does this as well. We use sametime, which is basically like AIM. I've noticed that the over-40s tend to use it only for quick business requests, whereas the under-40s will keep a running convo going all day with each other, with some chit chat thrown in with the work, keeping multiple windows open and typing along while doing other things and talking on the phone. I feel less frazzled knowing I'm getting things done via multitasking than I would doing one thing at a time, letting stuff pile up.

    I think most tweens think that women are the superior beings, or at least have the right to be heard. I know that most of the girls at my middle school boss the boys around more than the other way around, and are more than willing to shut the boy up if they too annoying.

    Also, most middle schoolers hate the word tween. And that cat creeps me out. Is it going to kill me with it mascara-ed eyes?

    @yes, i do know how to use my mouth: I remember feeling that way as a tween. Sadly, at least for me, it evaporated in high school as I learned to be a Nice Girl.

    The thing I hate the most is when women are in LABOR and informing all of their Faceboo friends with statuses like "5 centimeters dilated! Hurry up [tacky name]! Mom's waiting!" or something terrible like that. You know, I'm really much better off remaining unaware of the status of my friends' cervixes.

    Jonathan Franzen has a great essay about this phenomenon in How to be Alone. He argues that modern technology isn't encroaching upon the private sphere, but upon the public. It's not that our privacy is being invaded, but that our ability to walk down the street in a neutral zone has been taken away. That seems pretty right to me. The problem with Facebook is that it straddles a line between the private and the public. Speaking loudly into your cell phone on the bus about your latest bowel movement is using a public space inappropriately because nobody else should have to listen to your crap. Facebook, on the other hand, provides an illusion of privacy--nobody is forced to sit next to someone on Facebook. I'm not on Facebook, but whenever I read about it, it sounds like the people who are annoyed have rented out a hacienda at a public park in order to have a private event, and their gathering has been invaded by crashers who feel they have every right to horn in on the happenings because it's a public park and they feel every right to be there.

    I personally don't mind oversharing in a pseudonymous context--I'm happy to hear about embarrassing sex details and pregnancy woes, and I don't mind listening to people bitch about their jobs. Hell, I don't even mind hearing about poop issues. I've got a dog, so chances are nothing is going to sick me out in that department. But I may not want to know those things about the people in my everyday life. Which is why I've never given in to the pressure to join. I want acquaintances to act like we're in a public space, not dishing out secrets over a pint of ice cream on my couch.
