I found the thing. You couldn’t have known what it was: I read it maybe a week ago, but it was a year-old post in a kink blog archive I was reading.
I’m thinking I’ll reblog it from the source. I’ve never interacted with the blogger I was reading before, and I don’t think this is how I want to introduce myself.

Hey followers, were any of you the one who reblogged that image with something like “Sex is whatever the people involved find stimulating” on it? (I’m not 100% sure on the phrasing, but that was the gist of it and it definitely involved an inflection of the word “stimulate”.) I remember seeing it…I dunno, maybe a couple weeks ago, and today I was quietly fuming about it, and I thought I’d vent. Thing is, now I can’t find it, and I don’t want to vent about it without being able to point to it.
P.S. I don’t blame you, by the way. The problem is easily missed. (Hell, I was only just fuming about it now.)

give us five random things about yourself & pass it on to ten of your followers. repost, don’t reblog.
1. I love Daily Planet with a burning and occasionally evangelical passion. (Go watch it. You don’t even need to pirate it, though you will need a better version of Flash than Linux is capable of, and maybe a Canadian proxy, I’m not sure.) Daily Planet always makes me feel better about things. It’s a great antidote during those times when you’re surrounded by pessimism.
2. I have a supernumerary nipple just below my right breast, which we suspect I inherited from my mother’s side of the family (her brother has one too, in the same spot). I also have a mole on my right lower leg, which we are confident I inherited from my father’s side of the family (his aunt has one too, in the same spot, and I think there were other relatives with them as well). I like that I have a mark from each side, as if a tangible reflection of my hyphenated surname.
3. Oh, right, I have a hyphenated surname. (Something that caused a bit of an uproar amongst the more…firmly patrilineal members of the family, I’m told.) I wonder how old I’ll be the first time someone assumes the other half is from my spouse rather than my dad. It hasn’t happened yet, at least as far as I’m aware, but it’s probably inevitable.
4. I have never left the Eastern time zone.
5. I have sworn an oath of allegiance to Queen Elizabeth II.
It says followers, not people I follow, so picking from that list: shayvaalski, cakehorse, somethingshortandsnappy, kerkevik, thisprettywren, slepaulica, nenya-kanadka (if she sees this when she next comes back from her limited-Internet hiatus), michaelemerhouse, depizan, and luvtheheaven.

Fun fact: they totally sell Tim Tams in Canada. Imported from Australia and everything. I found them in the cookie section of Zehrs. (Not even the exotic section, just the regular cookie section.)
They had original and dark chocolate flavours, though it’s possible you might find some of the other flavours in other stores. I wouldn’t know.
I can personally confirm that the dark chocolate ones are delicious, but since I’ve never had bought-in-Australia Tim Tams, I don’t know for sure that the exported ones taste the same as the ones sold domestically. If someone with experience in Australian snack foods could confirm this, that would be good.

A single dose of brentuximab vedotin (Adcetris) can cost $13,500, which—for the average patient—puts its shoebox value in the same $2 billion range as LSD, plutonium, and MicroSD cards.

So, almost right? Huh. I think I might even be more surprised than if I’d been outright wrong. I hadn’t thought “almost” was an option.

“You can’t even help yourself. That’s why you made me, Church. You made me to take on all the things you can’t handle. Just like you always have. Well, guess what: I’m gonna handle it.”
I’m currently strongly leaning towards “totally called it”, but I’m not 100% sure yet. Let’s go find out.

As of the end of 8×15, my current theory is that the Agent Texas we all know and love is Alpha’s inherited memories of the Director’s ex-girlfriend, given a mind of their own by the same process that created the other AIs. It explains why she can do the ghost thing, how she and Church can know each other from their past, why she was locked in a room labelled “Director’s Secret Project”, why the Director’s diary just referred to her as a “byproduct” *.
Tonight I intend to finish S8, and hopefully find out then how laughably wrong I am. Or, possibly, how utterly right I am. Stranger things have happened. (After watching “Day of the Moon”, my mom correctly theorised that the regenerating girl was both Amy’s daughter and child!River.)
*I watched that last bit after coming up with this theory, but it fits in pretty well. An AI convinced she’s human probably wouldn’t be able to do the kind of stuff that they were…producing the AIs for.
