Ah, I love crazy religious mail (click image for larger version):Any guesses as to what a metaphysicotheologicocosmogynaecologist does?

I went to bed soon after making the fundraising post at 2:30am, and upon waking up at 10:30am you all had donated $1,562. Holy fuckballs. I’m seriously tearing up. I put a low …

The more feminists distrust science, the more women look like fools
I want to make this clear: This post is not about porn. I am not saying it’s awesome, and I’m not saying it’s horrible. There is a time and place to discuss the effect porn may or may not have on men and women, and that is for a different time. This post is about …
