The whole #BearVsMan thing is #PointlesslyGendered. I 100% choose bear, and that is stable if you change it to “Bear Vs Person” or “Animal vs Person.” Why? People are more capable and less predictable than animals.

It’s A Sad State of Affairs When Emotions Become Gendered Things

I glued myself to a movie tonight. As the sun cast longer and longer shadows through the grimy bay windows I slowly became part of my couch. The shadows gave way to night, and a firm sense of reality…

Also why does anyone feel the need to market a journal specifically for men? Are the kind of men who journal really concerned with how badass their journal looks? Do men only write in tomes that come in black (fake) leather with cool, vaguely sinister symbols on them? Do they only eat off black plates and poop in black toilets?

Is this Batman's journal?

New client at work needs some of my details to register me in their system, so I can do work in their CMS.

Not sure what role the state of my genitals plays in content management for them.
