Anonymous asked: You and your blog are an important reason why I love myself despite all the negative messages against me. Thank you so much!
s-nn-mero asked: Thanks so much for everything you do, always.

lilablackbird asked: I don't have a question (yet). I just want to tell you how much I love this blog! I'm a regular reader of Two Whole Cakes, and I'm really glad you're on my Tumblr dash. I really like the combination of gracious loving advice and belugas. Who wouldn't want kind advice from a beluga?

driftinggentlybacktonormal asked: Hi. I don't actually have a question, just wanted to tell you that Your Beluga Best Friend always makes my day! :) Belugas are so under-appreciated.
nerdmissile-deactivated20110717 asked: The "your whole fucking culture alienates me" picture (though I'm sure you know who said it) comes from the Unskinny Bop website (http://www.unskinnybop.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/) - I don't THINK they would have stolen someone else's design without asking, because they're very cool folks. xx

What do you get out of this? The deep satisfaction of helping to support...

“And on a serious note… I love reading the FA blogs out there, I really do. People have amazing insights and it’s wonderful. But. (you knew there was a ‘but’ there) It seems like the most prominent FA voices out there are married women. And they often write about their husbands, and it seems to come from a place of “I got a man and he loves me and I love me too” sometimes, you know...

Because it came up: Your Beluga Best Friend's Bio
Your Beluga Best Friend lives in Baffin Bay, between Greenland and that northerly bit of Canada with all the caribou and lemmings. Never one to “fit in” with the pod, your BBF prefers to wander in search of new friends and new experiences, and has a particular fondness for narwhals. Among other things, your BBF enjoys eating cephalopods, swimming backwards, singing Irish drinking...

And in chemistry class I was talking to my friend, Jack, about a gay pride festival I went to. My teacher, stupid nosy bitch, decides she wants to join in on the conversation. She asks me what I’m talking about so I turned around and her reaction was to make a noise of utter disgust. She asked me to go to the main office and get a different shirt. But being the...

foolonyou asked: You can let the anon asking about a career as a press secretary or speechwriter that her weight likely is not a barrier. I'm a big guy and I do both. Speechwriting, for sure, isn't a problem because you're not in the public eye. Being a spokesperson is a bit different, but if you now how to present yourself professionally, it shouldn't matter. Heck, Karl Rove often acted as W....

themightyif:
There’s been some controversy around the Blogosphere lately about major video game title Brink and its treatment (or lack thereof) of gender. You can read a little bit about it here, but I haven’t got a good link roundup handy outside of that. I had what I felt was a pretty reasonable e-mail exchange with Splash Damage on the subject, so I thought I’d share it here.
