of fursuits and fandom

So, LJ Elections. This Jameth guy is apparently in fandom (of some sort) and a furry. So why is there all this fandom-bashing from his supporters? I don't get it. I've voted for the "fandom candidates" who are in the lead and who have been recommended as competent people with integrity, without doing a ton of research myself (no time) but it makes me uncomfortable to see this kind of divisiveness between fandom and non-fandom folk, or between different sections of fandom. And seriously, ONTD, you think you're less weird than Harry Potter nerds? Seriously?

Second question: can you/should you vote as many times as you can (i.e. one vote for each account you have) in the elections? Is that what's expected?

Finally, on a happy note! The masturbation sentence-a-thon keeps on giving: Travis, Sunday, Greta, shower, Pete, fursuit (yay finally!!), Gabe, dildo. ETA: more Gabe + dildo! (Plus, full listing.) In semi-response to the third (which you should read, even if you think fursuit sex is weird, it's so gorgeous) I wrote this, which is not as amazing but makes me happy:
( Patrick, fursuit )

So, thejumpcut was inspired by the music video for Birthday Girl (by the Roots w/ Patrick Stump) to write this delicious story where Patrick Stump meets Sasha Grey. It will set your panties/boxers* on fire. Go read it here:

Featuring by thejumpcut

In honor of this undiluted awesomeness, I've uploaded some lesbian bdsm pr0n, featuring Miss Grey, naturally, which is linked in a friends-locked entry. If you're not on my flist, you can leave your email address (will be screened) and I'll send you the link. My apologies if this makes anyone uncomfortable and please let me know (anonymous is okay) and I'll put this behind a cut, at least.

*I don't even want to imagine what would happen if you're going commando. :-O

call governor

Reposting this to remind myself, can be reposted.

As you presumably know, California's recent court decision regarding same-sex marriage was a huge fucking deal. It was historic, long overdue, and took a hell of a lot of fighting.

Unfortunately (and not surprisingly) Governor Schwarzenegger is receiving tons of phone calls from the supporters of 'Limits on Marriage' (the constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage in California) about his comment to a group of Log Cabin Republicans that he wouldn't support a constitutional amendment which discriminates against gays by defining marriage as only being between a man and woman.

We don't want him to go back on his word. So he needs to hear from us, too.

Calling to voice your support for California's gay marriage ruling means calling an automated system; you won't have to talk to anyone. And you can call even if you're not from California. So please, the more the better.

The number is 1-916-445-2841; press 1, 5, 1 to get to the particular issue, then press 1 if you want to support upholding the court decision and are against a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
