The erotic reading circle at the Center for Sex & Culture, which has been sharing written works since 2006, is taking to Indiegogo to help fund their circle into the future and publish their second anthology of 27 "filthy" stories: Sex Still Spoken Here.
If you're interested in donating towards their $5k goal, anything from $1 gets you a "kiss" (a thank you on Facebook) up to $2k where you'll be needing "a doctor" (the founders will come out to your home for a reading, and leave behind a signed copy and good memories).
Even if they don't meet the goal, their first order of business is raising enough money to pay the writers. So if you've ever been interested in what they're talking about over there, it may be time to check out the circle and the upcoming book.
We've overheard people making fun of YOLO by saying, "You only YOLO once." It made us laugh, but apparently, the acronym YOLO is making people cringe.
But there's always been cringe-worthy phrases and slang. Tubular, anyone?
And now, those over at couponcodespro.com (we're not sure why a coupon company really cares about phrases other than those related to products) took a poll to determine the top 10 most annoying phrases of 2014 and who's saying them.
Here's the list in full, along with their definitions:
A young man thanks his dance teacher for giving him shelter from abusive parents in high school. An American soldier describes to her girlfriend the misery of welcoming the coffins of fellow soldiers back to American soil. A husband and wife discuss the financial hardships and spiritual rewards of running a rat sanctuary within their home. These are the people of StoryCorps, a non-profit oral history project that captures and preserves vignettes of American life.
The organization's simple design invites any individual to interview someone about a personal topic -- and the results that are rarely less than breathtaking. And in honor of the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, from July 10 through Dec. 13 StoryCorps will partner with the Disability Visibility Campaign to collect the unique stories of people who have experienced disability.
National Geographic -- known for its crystal clear 8.5" by 11" shots of world treasures -- will display its student photography work at the Firehouse 8 Gallery (1648 Pacific) today. Expect to see soaring images of classic San Francisco icons and glimpses of the natural features of the Bay Area at the showing from 3-8 p.m.
The students' work is presented as a culmination of their 11-day photography workshop, which is part of the National Geographic Student Expositions. Students on National Geographic expeditions travel to foreign climes or visit pockets of America, focusing on community service, the arts, or conservation. The photography students in this exhibition could have gone to London, Paris, or Prague, but, bless their hearts, they chose to document our fair city instead.
