Confusion I need clarified…What is sexuality? This seems to present sexual orientations, but transsexual is grouped with them. Is there a difference between one’s sexual orientation and one’s sexuality? Please respond to this in my ask box or submit it so I can share it:]
I’m a big fan of the artist, humon, who creates such comics as Scandinavia and the world, Love and Tentacles, and Niels. However, this is pretty problematic. I’m not sure how I feel about the whole heterosexual flag thing, and transgender/transsexuality is NOT a sexuality or sexual orientation. It is a gender identification. Also the genderqueer flag is left out. I’m not sure if other gender identifications even have a flag (they should). Or if polysexual and queer have flags. Regardless, I think the title should be Gender and Sexual Minorities Flags or some other more encompassing title.
Also, I’d like to state the humon isn’t a native english speaker, so that might be where some of the confusion comes from. Also, she’s stated on her deviantart that she knows Trans isn’t a sexual orientation, “but that people would have complained if it was left out”](http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyjenajtdC1ql9scmo1_500.jpg)

If you are a living, breathing human who attended an educational institution at some point in your life, then you’re familiar with that awful sinking feeling that rolls through around 5PM every Sunday. You’re having a grand old time, watching football or playing Wii Badminton or reading, or whatever you enjoy doing in your cherished spare time and then, like clockwork, the doom sets in. A whole new week is about to unfold before you. You’ve barely had time to process the one you just finished and then — Oh Hey — yet another week is here. There’s so much to be done: homework, clean your room so you can actually see the floor, put away laundry from three weeks ago. But alas, you have one disc left of Season 3 of Dawson’s Creek, so all that stuff can wait. And it seems that as long as you’re chillin by the creek with Dawson and Joey, Monday morning isn’t actually closing in on you.
Gawd damn fucking Jenn
Loves. <3

Sallie Mae: Forgive Student Debt ›
In 2010 something unthinkable happened – student debt surpassed credit card debt as the largest form of debt in this country, passing $800 billion dollars. In 2012 more history will be made as the amount of unpaid student debt climbs to $1 trillion dollars, with an additional $1 million dollars added to that number every 6 minutes.
The ripple effect that this has on our economy is crushing: students and recent graduates are forced into low-wage jobs in order to immediately start making payments back to banks and lenders; instead of stimulating the economy by spending millions of dollars, students and graduates are pinching pennies to just try to keep up with the interest on their loans; and the privatization of colleges and universities are expedited as the same loan agencies use the profit off of students to lobby for lower tax rates, forcing budget cuts to higher education in an economy where recent graduates struggle to find jobs.
Imagine students not working two part-time minimum wage jobs as they struggle to get through school, allowing them more time to participate in civic engagement. Imagine recent graduates not being pushed into a job market where they are forced to intentionally keep wages stagnant, allowing them the ability to work for non-profits or local businesses.
If we do not solve the student debt crisis the students of today will suffer, but the students of tomorrow may never have the opportunity to a college education. A generation of students will pay the hefty price of their student loans; but we must not forget that we will also pay the debt of an entire country ignoring the burden placed on those working to better their lives and communities by obtaining a college degree.We are demanding that Sallie Mae, Inc. pay their fair share in fixing the economy by:
1. Forgive all student debt after 5 years of payments
2. Eliminate all interest on student loans

OF LOVE & LOSS
A twenty-year-old who falls in love often and not enough. My life revolves around a constant cycle of falling madly in love, falling down into the dark abyss of heartbreak, & falling more into the person I am crafting.
Be warned: this blog, much like myself, is a permanent work in progress.
