Meet the Scientists Who Think the G-Spot Doesn't Exist
A team of British "scientists" at King's College London claims to have determined "fairly conclusively" that the G-spot does not exist. And their evidence? -- I know I already linked to this laughable study and some dissection of it, but this is a particularly good article, with some extra nifty and educational bits dropped throughout. (and I love the reminder that we've known about this part of the female anatomy since Galen, for fuck's sake)

RM has some good stuff to say about LJ's recent gender choice bullshit

And serenejournal has some good stuff to say about remembering that sexual and relationship style orientations are orthogonal to each other and to kink preferences. And also, that humor at others' expense is generally a pretty assholish maneuver anyway (my addition, there).


Holy crap! The pharmacy _finally_ replied to my first email (send almost three weeks ago, back when I still had meds *eyeroll*).

Edit to add:
The chytrid fungus, and its devastating effects on amphibian populations, is especially upsetting to me; I've been fascinated by amphibians since childhood, and had quite a number of pet salamanders, back when they were under every other log. So finding an article about my favorites (Japanese Giant Salamanders -- incredible beasts!), _and_ learning that they seem to have a different relationship to the fungus that might help with further research to save other species... Win of the day! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8497330.stm
