    Are you more sexually attracted to your physical opposite?

    I am a short, super fair skinned, blue eyed, blond lady and while personality is a lot more important to me for relationships, on an aesthetic level I am definitely most attracted to my polar opposite. Physically what turns me on the most is very tall, very dark skinned black dudes, especially...

    Northern Africa, Sahara travel.

    Where exactly are you going? I've been wanting to go to Mali (especially in January for the annual Tuareg dessert festival) and Niger and a few other spots for a while. Mostly I am interested in trying to travel with some of the nomadic dessert tribes if possible. Has anyone else here traveled...

I heard there are a couple other farms that will hire punx but that most have switched over to using...

    Jamie from BENT OUTTA SHAPE - R.I.P

    Sad times man. I already started a thread about this in the misc. banter section titled "another fallen homie". We had a really beautiful memorial for him in Olympia last night. It was foggy beyond belief and the moon shone and we all walked down to the abandoned tracks and drank and smashed...

    Good reads

    I read a lot and I read a wide variety of genres, but for traveling I generally prefer books that are humorous fiction or personal essays. Really anything that is a page turner but that are a bit easy to read (like I wouldn't read Thomas Pynchon if I needed to devote half my attention to keeping...

    good. No one in the pacific northwest has any idea what a taco is supposed to be. They think tacos are supposed to have HARD SHELLS!!! As a taco enthusiast, it is the thing I miss most about Oakland.

    Its supposed to be me and my roommate and in the last frame I'm talking about my dude at the time. I just wanted to make sure it could appear that Clint and I were living together, but that there wasn't a romantic overtone since we're just buds.

    If you click on the bar at the top of the comic photo it will open in a new page and let you use the magnifying glass tool to enlarge it to its real size which should help with reading that tiny ass writing.

    the business in the other unit in the warehouse (not related to us) was a pretty largescale medical marijuana growing facilitiy. They were broken into the night before. I can only imagine they thought we were part of the same thing. We could hear them being like "wtf" when they were in the...

    Condition Oakland (I'm really sick of being shot at) Arrow's crazy story has inspired me to write about my own traumatic experience dealing with assholes wielding guns. I wrote it for a zine so there are a few tangents and its not super straight forward. "Put my ear to the door. I just heard...

    Yes! Vasectomies are awesome! I really have appreciated dudes who have taken the initiative. I know several people who have had this procedure and all but one are very happy with the results. Unfortunately my ex got some long term post vasectomy pain (I think from a sperm granuloma?) and he had...

    Thank ye kindly. Any dog named meatball has to be pretty rad as well.

    Stencil graffiti - ideas: reality

    it depends how stealthy you are. I personally don't usually use three to five layer stencils in places where I feel sketched out or pressured to get it done really fast because you need to let every layer dry for a few seconds and you also need to make sure you line up the different layers...
