great day of the week

My climbing gym is hosting an LGBT climbing night this Saturday. (Spoiler: I'll be attending.)

wow !

It's going to be like that scene in Crystal Skull, only with lesbians instead of monkeys and Shia Lebeouf.

that's p exciting

i'm just getting drinks and eating hand cut french fries

I made two French 75s while watching Drag Race.

i caught the end! that's like my favorite drink

I made it with cognac instead of gin. Not sure which is the preferred route.

oh interesting! i've never had it with cognac. of course lately my drinks are quite simple; i'm a big fan of on the rocks. although it probably isn't a good idea to drink before you go mountain climbing.

Most I've ever done is top rope with a brunch buzz.

Still not recommended.

i don't know why but that sounds awfully suggestive Eric

sorry i didn't meant to take that to an awkward place

Hah, no it's a joke we all make. I sometimes raise my eyebrows when talking about "tying in."

Brunch buzzes confuse me. I don't like champagne and one should only drink one glass of OJ.

Bloody Marys and white wine I can handle.

here, i'll give you a musical clue

As of today, my boyfriend is taking a stress leave from his hospital job with no intention of returning. He's got his note from Dr. Summeroff and will probably be clocking a lot of beach time in the next few weeks. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little jealous.

STEVEN D! NO!

Oh, left side? OK then.

You fisted The Boss?!?

xp Esp if you're listening to MAW the entire time.

Stevie is riding down down into the tunnel of love

Love how red is the only color I know what it means without looking it up.

p is he ok?

surm he's alright, he's just trying to exit as cleanly as possible from a hostile work environment which has been taxing on his physical & mental health. the stress is largely personnel related, sadly, but his doctor is very supportive. i hope he's able to make use of his downtime to focus on himself. it's hard to remember what having a non-stressed-out boyfriend is like.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this one?

Of course, anyone who's even eavesdropped on the long-running debate over 'gay identity' among homosexuals will know that this position—that gayness might be located in sensibility or style as well as sex—is currently anathema. We live in the era dominated by a born-this-way, 'it's-a-small-part-of-me' ethos that minimizes gay difference to sexual attraction.

xp good

just came to post that, Eric

tl;dr

why did you come to post the link if you didn't / won't read it?

Damn. I may have to actually print this thing to read it during lunch.

i started reading it yesterday and just before the historical methods section i thought i saw a space opening up between heritage-gay and normosexual but it didn't really seem to be going there so i stopped.

less jargon, please

I only know who tops and who bottoms

just to keep Soto busy during lunch, elmo

the only homo heritage i'm much invested in is my collection of old skin mags & downloaded vintage pornos

though i was looking a mag from i think the early 70s recently and was amused to see an ad for anal douche systems running alongside an article about collectible glass paperweights

ha

i think it's pretty funny that seemingly every heavy leather selfie i see on tumblr was taken in this room:

this was the ad, btw:

love it

why did you come to post the link if you didn't / won't read it?

Haha, that's exactly what I did when I posted it on my FB page.

"Keep it clean and avoid discomfort and embarrassment."

Also noted: an ad for a set of 3 dildos in increasing sizes that would allow the purchaser to "be an accommodating host."

I'd rather continue down this new tangent than the article, tbh, but it was the umpteenth version of the debate over whether the thing that defines you is who you sleep with or, as the article suggests, having interest in the percale of the sheets you sleep in.

Which has always drawn pretty clear lines of division in this thread.
