Hey EBSCOhost? You don't always have the full text of articles. I know this and I accept this. (I don't get it—why have the article in the database at all if not to let us read the article?—but I accept it.) So when I filter the results page to show only things where you do have the full text of the article, the last thing I want to see when I load the PDF full text of an article is Rights Notice: This database normally includes the full text of articles from this publication. However, this particular article is not included at the request of the rights holder. If we're not allowed to see the full text of the article, don't tell us you have the full text of the article!

Guess who has an eight-page essay due tomorrow that she hasn't even started yet? I expect it to go fairly quickly once I get going, because I'm mostly going to be babbling about fanfic as the authors' and sometimes characters' sexual fantasies, but I do need actual citations from actual scholarly sources, and I don't think I can get away with only citing the Journal of Transformative Works.

Stupid question. Why is sexuality generally framed as "attracted to the other sex" vs "attracted to the same sex"? (Or both or neither or it's complicated, but those categories are irrelevant just now.) Why not as "attracted to men" vs "attracted to women"?

Oh fuck you dial-up.
