When did this...

The “Myth” of Female Bisexuality →

sexisnottheenemy:
Bisexual women are ‘celebrated’ by men on Facebook and in real life, while many of us find ourselves unable to truly be proud of our sexuality, finding it easier to identify as straight or gay instead.

Early Sydney Mug Shots →
“These were mostly taken by police photographers for the simple purpose of getting a clean picture of the accused, and a decent full body pic as well, that’s it. But, a century and some odd years later, and you got a real nice looking series of artistic portraits.”

psychotherapy:
Early birds may get the best worms—or at least the best garage sale deals—but they also tire out more quickly than night owls do.

Last words of state-executed Texas inmates →
Go ahead?
Nothing I can say can change the past.
I done lost my voice.
I would like to say goodbye.
My heart goes is going ba bump ba bump ba bump.
Is the mike on?
I don’t have anything to say. I am just sorry about what I did.
