Today I'm off to Access To Music Norwich
iseenoise:
To tell others about why I love my job. Also how to embrace your inner gear-geek.
Yesterday, I survived telling a bunch of girlhood scholars about girls, while my superboyfriend survived telling a bunch of music students about sound.
I managed to not poo my pants and I have it on good authority that Ryan didn’t poo his either.

Giving a paper at a conference tomorrow.
Pooing my pants, pooing my pants, pooing my pants.
But the hotel I’m staying in tonight has a spa, so, it seems I’ll be pooing my bikini-bottoms in the sauna.

Attempting to revise a paper...
…when the revision notes have been written by an incredibly smug, yet often mistaken person, is not easy.
It’s a two-way, anonymous, exchange of passive-aggression.

She chops! She chops!
shitmystudentswrite:
She looks like a flower, but she stings like a bee, like every girl in history, She bangs! She bangs! An old Ricky Martin song, She Bangs, tells of the power that women have. In Lizzie Borden’s case however, she chops.
As someone who often marks essays. This tumblr is always a treat.

Music to my loins
shitmystudentswrite:
G-spot orgasms are like another instrument in the big band of sexual response.
I actually, really, like this analogy.

Condoms and Sexual Negotiations →
This is important. Read the whole thing here.
Now, I know that sex takes two and I don’t want to portray this as a story of poor women being coerced by evil men.

However, I truly think that men’s sexual pleasure is held at a higher priority than women’s...

(TW: Racism)
This is an important article and we should all read it.
Chinese characters rarely appear on our television screens, but when they do, you can bet they’ll be DVD sellers, illegal immigrants, spies or, in the case of last year’s Sherlock, weird acrobatic ninja types. Many Chinese viewers were outraged at the portrayal of east Asians in this show, but typically, few...

2011 was a funny year.
I met Anthony Giddens and he WORE A PUFFA JACKET.
I went to Reykjavík, Barcelona, the Spanish countryside, and Munich.

Ryan and I moved into our lush first home together.

I got my first...
