Growing up in the 80s, when porn theaters were still a thing and often portrayed as the refuge of socially dysfunctional perverts who enjoyed staining cheap upholstery with their man-seed, the idea of going to a movie by myself was one of the main cultural phobias still in my quiver. (Others…

I live within walking distance of a cheaper movie theater and I just forget because I rarely go to the movies. But this post has encouraged me to do just that—maybe not right now, because my budget is pretty tight. But maybe soon, and definitely in the future.

This makes me blood boil. It’s a cover-up. Period.

Enabled is the right word. Unfortunately, I don’t think much is going to change at Penn State nor college football culture. But there are places, like my workplace (which is like Penn State—just not as rabid about college football), that have already made changes to protect kids. I hope more colleges and universities are doing the same, instead of just trying to protect the bottom line.

Random, but not really. One of my best friends saw this reality TV show and when she came to visit, she jokingly wanted to go there. We didn’t go, and here’s why. It’s a fucked up place.

Thx @_Kristiana_ for RTing this FOR ME. What sucked about today was that I got off at Fullerton. Wait, that’s a good thing. But a bad thing. Standing all the time. Ugh, damn you, red line!!!!

Thx @emokidsloveme for the RT! So, context: there’s a new reality TV called The Glass House on ABC (debuted on Monday). Sound familiar? Big Brother? The main difference is that viewers choose what players will do. But it’s still got that voyeuristic bent that Big Brother has.

So, with this press release, CBS is trolling ABC. Hard. Hilarity ensues.

ARCH SUPPORT. WIDE SIZES. YES!

LOL. THOSE PANTS. Nice moves, though. Thankfully, he grew up into the smokin’ hot man that he is.

Thanks to @candacearm for RTing this. I feel hella embarrassed from my past while reading this. That’s all I can say without being anymore embarrassed. At least what I did was tame compared to this shit. BUT STILL. Obviously NSFW, too, OK?

I love this! I hope will too. Welcome to your literary summer!
