Are You Watching Ferguson? You Should Be.

Just on the off-hand chance you’re not following my Twitter feed, which is largely retweets of Ferguson-related news, you should be looking very closely at Ferguson right now. Short version: Cops shot a black kid. The people protested peacefully, were run off with tear gas and ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Illness is a reflective time. The body feels like it's lived a heavy life, a lonely state of (mild) suffering. I've been ill these last few days.
I am soon flying free of Quorum to skyward slopes of blue uncertainty. Best stretch my wingspan fully...

Will I ever leave this Barnse & Noble?
I poke my virtual head up again, at long last, to complain. Shocking, I know.
As phramok noted, we made our early departure today on our way to a Texas Thanksgiving Adventure. Delightfully uneventful, and featuring his fresh-baked-last-night muffins. Like Algernon, I can't eat muffins in an agitated manner. I eat them quite calmly. It is the only way ( Read more... ) -

Clotted cream will be the end of me
I'm the proud owner of three (3) security stamps on my boarding pass. Each a different color, from a different lumpy guard. For two of them I bore a 6 oz jar of hard-to-find clotted cream; that's 3 ounces too many. So I first left the Secure Zone to check the bag, but it now costs $15. My metal wallet was in my carry-on... in the Secure Zone. Two ( Read more... ) -
Gay Prep School Musical
"Were the World Mine" paints a lush gaytopia, fantasical and dreamy and with more flowers than "Pink Narcissus." phramok only went on my behalf; he expected sappy homo fluff. And that was there, don't you doubt: there's fabulously laughable dancing and singing and prancing. That's kind of a satire...like the film's conceit of a puckish queer recruiting ( Read more... ) -
Queers ~ Palenstinians?
Analogy time!
Hamas in its angry rocket display is to the angry protesting LGBT radicals (vandals?) as
Fattah in its negotiations is to the compromising professionals at the Human Rights Campaign
It's certainly a way to spur action, but it does kick up a lot of cross fire
Let's not make Rev. Warren a martyr for the Christian right. They LOVE
