LYRICS:
Intro:
This is the manifesto of Mother Brainfart. In Vulvulon , a system of interplanetary planets, there were two races of humanoidians, The Bitchy Dancers, and The Mucusheads. On the first day of the festival of the bleeding disco ball, Queen Cornerface decreed, "From this day forth the citizens of Planet Fabulust shall only communicate via Madonna songs. The Bitchy Dancers protested saying "wait, which Madonna songs?" The Mucus heads said nothing because they we're mucusheads. Thus began the dance war. Now watch this unrelated video
It doesn't matter if you make due, or make doo doo, (she bumps into people on the floor) excuse me, sorry. Just turn the music up cus I've got words to say...gravy
Verse:
My momma told me when you write a song you don't have to be original
Just mash up parts of other melodies like "Express Yourself" and "Waterfalls"
Hey hey hey
If someone notices and tries to sue. You can claim that it's just an homage.
Then make a video with whips and chains it's kooky sci fi gay pride collage
Chorus:
I'm running out of ideas
My dress is made of tortillas
I'm on my last leg baby
I got nothing to say
I'm on a hamster wheel
So I'll beg borrow and steal
Now I'm grasping at straws
What If I bang Santa Clause
Post-Chorus:
When you don't know what to say
Just display more T&A
Check out my butt while I walk away
Everyone is super gay
Gay gay gay everyday
Hey wait, did I mention that I'm down with gays
Don't be a rainbow be a flag
Don't drink the tea just lick the bag
Don't be shovel be a hoe
Goddamn my voice is really low
Verse:
I just don't know what to do anymore What if I roll around with goo on the floor
This feels disgusting and its really cold, Sometimes its hard to be an attention whore
I have to cheer up this skeleton cus I convinced him to rip off his skin
It's hard to tell if he's still mad at me becuase when he frowns it looks like a grin
Chorus:
Don't go for second best ba...
Wait that's the song I ripped off maybe i am second best.
Copy Madonna so much
I think I'm losing my touch
I think I'll just put on mom jeans and a Gap sweater vest
The only thing left to do
Is to just start boring you
I'm going to shop at Kohls for some sensible shoes

'Bright-Sided': When Happiness Doesn't Help
'Bright-Sided': When Happiness Doesn't Help
Enlarge Singrid Estrada Reality Check: Author Barbara Ehrenreich says Americans cannot simply wish themselves into better conditions.
October 13, 2009
When author Barbara Ehrenreich was diagnosed with breast cancer, she was bombarded with wildly optimistic, inspirational phrases. But a cheerful outlook, she argues, does not cure cancer.
In her new book, Bright-Sided, Ehrenreich explores the negative effects of positive thinking, and the "reckless optimism" that dominates America's national mindset.
"We need to brace ourselves for a struggle against terrifying obstacles," Ehrenreich writes, "both of our own making and imposed by the natural world. And the first step is to recover from the mass delusion that is positive thinking."
[There's a much longer excerpt @ the NPR link.]
Excerpt: 'Bright-sided'
I do not write this in a spirit of sourness or personal disappointment of any kind, nor do I have any romantic attachment to suffering as a source of insight or virtue. On the contrary, I would like to see more smiles, more laughter, more hugs, more happiness and, better yet, joy. In my own vision of utopia, there is not only more comfort, and security for everyone — better jobs, health care, and so forth — there are also more parties, festivities, and opportunities for dancing in the streets. Once our basic material needs are met — in my utopia, anyway — life becomes a perpetual celebration in which everyone has a talent to contribute. But we cannot levitate ourselves into that blessed condition by wishing it. We need to brace ourselves for a struggle against terrifying obstacles, both of our own making and imposed by the natural world. And the first step is to recover from the mass delusion that is positive thinking.

The Price of Sex is a feature-length documentary about young Eastern European women who've been drawn into a netherworld of sex trafficking and abuse. Intimate, harrowing and revealing, it is a story told by the young women who were supposed to be silenced by shame, fear and violence. Photojournalist Mimi Chakarova, who grew up in Bulgaria, takes us on a personal investigative journey, exposing the shadowy world of sex trafficking from Eastern Europe to the Middle East and Western Europe. Filming undercover and gaining extraordinary access, Chakarova illuminates how even though some women escape to tell their stories, sex trafficking thrives. Learn more at www.priceofsex.org .

All Women Masturbate
You are reading http://viridianariverstone.blogspot.com/.
Share |
If women are not masturbating, they are really missing out! It is 100% safe, feels great and it's good for you. It relieves sexual tension, which women of all ages have the need for. Masturbation begins with self exploration. If you don't explore yourself how will you know what you like? It will teach you how to achieve your maximum sexual pleasure. You can't rely on the guy figuring it all out on his own, it just doesn't happen, he has no idea what it feels like to you.
Begin by exploring yourself, take a hand mirror and explore the unexplored down there! It might seem like a scary thing, but if you don't know where all the parts are and what they do, you're going to have a tough time learning to enjoy yourself.
Don't look at your vulva and think of it as ugly, it's not! You do not need reconstructive surgery, you are who you are and it's a beautiful thing. If you haven't figured out everything down there, take a look at the anatomy section for a quick learning session, then you'll be ready to go.
You can try using a vibrator, a pillow, a hand held shower head, just your hands, combination of the mentioned, or alternative props...just make sure they are safe.
Try out different positions and techniques. The point of this isn't to reach orgasm your very first time, if you do, then that's great! But you're learning what turns you on and what you find pleasing. Obviously if you find something you like, stick with it. You can always experiment and try other things later on.
A lot of women have a hard time getting in the mood, especially when doing this by themselves. A lot of women give up or think what's the point. Well I strongly encourage you to give it a try. Sex is a wonderful thing and you should be enjoying every minute of it. And all sex starts with masturbation...look at guys, they've got the technique down! And a little secret, guys get turned on watching a woman please herself...there! Another reason you should learn to do this!
There are a lot of things you can do to get in the mood. Basically it will be up to personal preference. Start with what you think is romantic. Is it candle light, a bubble bath, soft music? You just want to create an atmosphere that you are comfortable in and don't feel self-conscious in. Pick a location, maybe it's the bath tub, your bed, or somewhere more public (if you're into that).
Most women like the lights dimmed or turned off, this way there are no distractions and they can concentrate on the pleasurable feeling. Remember not to make the goal an orgasm, if you focus on that you will feel as if you can't achieve it, and then it's going to be far harder or impossible. Focus only on the pleasure!
Masturbation
Masturbation is a normal part of life. I repeat, completely normal. It is healthy, but many women are uncomfortable with it, partially because it is not something that is talked about in society. When women do start talking about it amongst themselves it usually doesn't happen until after high school. This leaves you with years of wondering if what you're doing is normal or even ok. Here's the fact, most, if not all, women masturbate!If women are not masturbating, they are really missing out! It is 100% safe, feels great and it's good for you. It relieves sexual tension, which women of all ages have the need for. Masturbation begins with self exploration. If you don't explore yourself how will you know what you like? It will teach you how to achieve your maximum sexual pleasure. You can't rely on the guy figuring it all out on his own, it just doesn't happen, he has no idea what it feels like to you.

Beginning Your Sexual Pleasure
That saying "different strokes for different folks" absolutely applies here. What I like might be completely different from what you like. Which is why this self exploration is so important! Start off by running your fingers over your clitoris, you can vary the speed and pressure, try soft, light brushes or hard, fast strokes. Keep doing this, practice makes perfect!You can try using a vibrator, a pillow, a hand held shower head, just your hands, combination of the mentioned, or alternative props...just make sure they are safe.

Nepal census recognizes third gender for the first time
You are reading http://viridianariverstone.blogspot.com/.
There are 2 kinds of people in this world: those who know there are more than 2 kinds of people in this world, and those who don't. You may quote me. Rogi

| The MSMGF calls on Nepal’s Home Ministry to issue citizenship cards to transgender people and metis in accordance with 2007 Supreme Court ruling |
Nepal has just completed its first national census that officially includes a third option in the gender categories that citizens can select, opening the way for stronger recognition of sexual and gender minority rights in provision of public services.
Official recognition of third gender rights follows a landmark 2007 Supreme Court decision aimed at securing rights for Nepal’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex population, adding the new category on citizenship documentation essential to access a range of health and legal services.
The 2007 decision required all citizenship certificates to clearly indicate an individual’s gender identity. The certificates, which work as national identity papers, are used when opening a bank account, purchasing property, accepting employment or applying for a passport.
“After the Supreme Court decision we are able to go out freely and we feel more respected – a number of us already have citizenship as third-gender,” said Bhumika Shrestha, a campaigner for sexual minority rights. “The government also set aside an annual budget for us and many official forms now provide a choice other than female or male.”
The plight of Nepal’s sexual minorities is depicted in a 10-minute documentary, Out of the Closet, produced by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in partnership with the United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID) and non-governmental organizations, including the Blue Diamond Society (BDS).
“This landmark decision is also the beginning of all the actions that need to follow,” said Shoko Noka, UNDP Country Director in Nepal. “The decision’s implementation will certainly help reduce barriers and broaden access to essential services – particularly in enhancing HIV and AIDS prevention, treatment and care.”
UNDP has been working on HIV/AIDS with the Government of Nepal and non-governmental organizations, managing funds from DFID and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
With support from the Global Fund, in 2006, UNDP was the first international agency to boost national organizations such as BDS which were then able to step up a range of HIV/AIDS-related services in all 14 districts of Nepal, reaching more than 185,000 people.
Nepal is the only South Asian country to recognize third gender rights. The results of this year’s census will be made public by the end of October.

Highlights
- A 2007 Supreme Court decision in Nepal added a “third gender” category to national census surveys and citizenship documents.
- UNDP and partners have produced a 10-minute video documenting the plight of Nepal's sexual minorities.
- Nepal's Blue Diamond Society estimates there are around 500,000 MSM and transgender people in the country, of which 6,000 are living with HIV/AIDS.

Colbert Report: Women's Health-Nazi Plan
You are reading http://viridianariverstone.blogspot.com/.
This is SO FUNNY! It COMPLETELY unmasks the underlying agendas in this issue. Listen to the audience: the women are losing it, screaming with laughter. Then, when a WOMAN on Fox "News" suggests, "what are we going to cover next, pedicures?" you hear the MEN moaning! It's so interesting! I need to write this well. This is turning anger and frustration and insult into joy and validation and taking back one's power.
Free birth control will wipe out the American race and instantly turn daughters into wanton harlots with insatiable sexual appetites.

By this point, most of you have heard about the tragedy in Norway a few weeks ago when a Christian Fundamentalist* murdered 77** people and injured another 96. The story has been well-covered by International media and the mainstream press here in the US.
What you probably have not heard about is the married lesbian couple who rescued 40 teenagers during and after the bloody event. Several blogs and gay and lesbian publications are now picking up the story, but the heavy hitters who usually kill for hero stories like this, have remained silent.
The Finnish capital city’s largest daily newspaper, Helsingin Sanomat, published this account (translated from Finnish):
Check out our follow-up to this post here: Hege & Toril: Why We Write, which addresses many of your comments and questions about this article.
*The term “Christian Fundamentalist” has been disputed greatly in both the press and the comments section below this post. According to Norwegian police investigating the massacre, Anders Behrin Breivik was a “Christian Fundamentalist” as described by the New York Times and several Norwegian sources. There is a great post from CNN, which discusses at length, the use of the term being used for Breivik.
**Thank you to readers who have provided credible sources as to the actual number of deaths from this tragedy. We originally reported that 92 had been killed, but according to Norwegian sources, the total number is at 77, with many still in the hospital.

What you probably have not heard about is the married lesbian couple who rescued 40 teenagers during and after the bloody event. Several blogs and gay and lesbian publications are now picking up the story, but the heavy hitters who usually kill for hero stories like this, have remained silent.
The Finnish capital city’s largest daily newspaper, Helsingin Sanomat, published this account (translated from Finnish):
Hege Dalen and her spouse, Toril Hansen were near Utöyan having dinner on the opposite shore across from the ill-fated campsite, when they began to hear gunfire and screaming on the island.Please share this story and make sure people know the heroism of Hege and Toril.
“We were eating. Then shooting and then the awful screaming. We saw how the young people ran in panic into the lake,” says Dale to HS in an interview.
The couple immediately took action and pushed the boat into Lake Tyrifjorden.
Dalen and Hansen drove the boat to the island, picked up from the water victims in shock in, the young and wounded, and transported them to the opposite shore to the mainland. Between runs they saw that the bullets had hit the right side of the boat.
Since there were so many and not all fit at once aboard, they returned to the island four times.
They were able to rescue 40 young people from the clutches of the killer.
“We did not sleep last night at all. Today, we have been together and talked about the events,” Dalen said.
