For the people on my flist who do arty crafty things:

Hobby Lobby has decided that their oppressive religious beliefs trump federal mandate, and are refusing to pay for their employee's health care because it includes coverage for emergency contraception. They feel so strongly about denying this care to their female employees that they are willing to pay fines up to 1.3 million fucking dollars PER DAY.

That is how much Hobby Lobby hates and loathes and despises women. They hate women so much that losing 1.3 million dollars a day is worth it to them so long as they get to punish women that they think are godless sluts.

Please give your arty crafty money to literally anyone else on earth.

I've made some progress on the sex scene, but apparently it's hard to write filthy porn when your grandparents keep interrupting you. Who knew? /o\ And by the time I make it upstairs at the end of the day, I'm usually too tired to try and think sexy thoughts to write. Part of it is also that it's been a while since I've written anything, much less an elaborate sex scene, so I'm having trouble getting back into it. It's not even the plotting of the scene that's giving me trouble—I've got a pretty good idea how the whole thing plays out, but when I try to write it out, it all comes out rather wooden. Although I am getting some characterization figured out as I try to write, so at least there's that.

Why can't I just hook a cable up to my brain and have the whole scene, beautifully plotted out and blocked and choreographed, appear on the screen?
