    Q&A members rapid action folks!

    If you are bone marrow donor or would like to be, here’s some information on who you can help atm! Janet Liang is in our hearts!

    <3

    helpingjanet:

    Please watch and spread this Feb. 2012 update from Janet herself!

    We found that Janet’s cancer is more resistant to the chemo than originally thought, so until she is in remission, her doctors cannot go through with a bone marrow transplant at this time. Janet will battle another 3-4 rounds of chemo to kill it off, with each round lasting about a month. We’re now targeting JUNE for the new date for her transplant.

    What this means: 

    The BAD: Janet’s cancer is resistant and she STILL hasn’t found a match.

    The GOOD: We now have more time to find a match! Also, the next rounds of chemo are outpatient, which means she doesn’t have to live in the hospital. 

    Please continue to organize marrow drives and spread the word! YOU can be the one to save her life!

    High-res photo Asian Men with Balls: Sociosexual Implications of Linsanity Story of my life: In which my insecurities take the form of mild-to-moderate narcissism and I ignore a cultural sensation – the Asian Obama, if you think about it – until it directly becomes pertinent to my sex life. But there this pretty boy stood in front of me, who I considered far out of my league, offering to buy me a drink at Akbar, a trendy gay dive in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles. The boy, who I’ll call Tim, was I think mixed race, and generally too attractive for me. (I tend to like gruff guys anyway, the type who look like they can take a punch.) But it’s always pleasant when an Adonis turns out to be good conversation, and after a few drinks, I asked him what he was looking for. “To be honest,” Tim replied, taking a swig of Anchor Steam, “I’ve been on an Asian kick ever since Linsanity. I think he’s so hot, and I’m surprised I’ve never been with an Asian guy before.” Normally I don’t like it when guys bring up my race when they’re hitting on me. Without question, race is usually a major component of sexual chemistry (and I certainly have my own preferences), but there’s no easier way to feel like a piece of meat than when you’re being compared to an anime character. But this was different. And it was entirely new to me. I was being likened to an all-American mainstream superstar, not a niche fetish. (Source iamyellowperil.com)
