Science Fictional 12 years, 3 months agoSince the internet is magical and made of awesome, I think we should all link stories that are available online! There used to be a GREAT short story collection on the SciFi channel’s website, back before they were Syfy, but it’s not up these days. There are still lots of options though! I’ll post some stuff, and you guys should post stuff…[Read more]

This is one of my favorite short stories of all time – and it was written in 1909! http://archive.ncsa.illinois.edu/prajlich/forster.html (Also, E.M. Forster was a gay man – his novel Maurice, which was about being gay in early 20th century England, wasn’t published until after his death.) It predicts the Internet!
Then there’s Charles Stross’s…[Read more]

I love Charles Stross, and Accelerando! Have you read The Atrocity Archives? Sooo good! I don’t want to give it away if you haven’t read it, but it’s a Lovecraftian horror/sf thing. For some reason the first one you linked won’t work, do you have another source for it?
-
Hmm, their server must have gone down! Here is another source (you have to download it instead of reading in the browser, but they have .pdfs) http://www.manybooks.net/titles/forstereother07machine_stops.html
-
I really enjoyed this! It’s pretty amazing how prescient it is.

Oh, and how could I forget Clarkesworld?! http://clarkesworldmagazine.com/ New stories monthly! And there’s the Baen free library: http://www.baen.com/library/ (mostly tend towards military SF which isn’t really my bag, but others might be interested!)
-
Yes! I love Clarkesworld! The newer link to that story works, I’ll check it out today. Here are some other links to sites with a bunch of SF stories:
http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/index.htm
http://freesfonline.de/index.html
And this isn’t stuff you can read, but here is an awesome awesome SF radio series from the 1950’s that you can listen to…[Read more]-
Also, I want to focus on giving people specific recommendations, so I’ll try to think of some really good ones from those sites, otherwise I feel like they might be a little overwhelming.

um. uh. wait. ok. wait. what was the question? ok. um. yeah. wait. what? 12 years, 3 months ago
Today, my straight guy friend goes “You ruined lesbian porn for me.”
“Why?” I ask.
“Because you’re the only lesbian I know, so I think of you when I watch it.”I’m not sure if it was his wording, or what, but FUCK THAT WAS AWKWARD. I was just like “o…kay. I’m…sorry?” I didn’t even know how to backtrack out of that. I guess as a rule I should…[Read more]

I wish I could selectively erase parts of my memory, because I found my some of my dad’s porn when I was a teenager, and apparently he likes lesbian porn. AAAUUUGH! I really didn’t need to know that!
And to make things more awesome, he didn’t speak to me for several years after I came out. So watching “lesbian” porn is ok, but having a parental…[Read more]-
Mmm, the hypocritical parent. That’s always fun. My mother loved–and I mean LOVED–The L Word. I came out mid season 3, and she nearly shit her pants. Didn’t speak to me for a while, either.
-
Wow! Now that takes hypocritical BS to the next level!

that is really awkward.
but he could think of Portia instead. -
Something very similar happened to me with a friend/co-worker a year or so back. At the time, we were working at a pizza place. Ya know what my response was? I grabbed a piece of ham from the make line, and slung it straight at his face. It hit him square in the forehead. And better yet, it stuck there for a second and slowly slid down, like we…[Read more]

definitely. It’s only awkward if you make it awkward!

My hero.

i don’t know why so many straight dudes feel that it’s appropriate to tell us stuff like that. it has happened to me before and it boggles the mind.

“Practiced being human today, not sure what to do with my hands.”
-J.E.-
When I don’t know what to do with my hands, I fiddle with my lip-ring. I’m trying to break that habit because I think it freaks people out.
-
People make fun of me for talking with my hands. Fuck those people. I’m Italian.
-
Hey me too! People don’t make fun of me for it anymore because I will slap them with my active Italian hands.
