Congratulations California! You have the historical honor of being the first political entity anywhere in the world to take back previously granted same-sex marriage rights. I am so pleased that even a state that's traditionally very liberal saw that it's just too radical to allow loving couples to get married. Seriously, though, I never really ( Read more... ) -
No news here
Obama as president? Fuck yeah. He ran an extraordinary campaign. I just hope he survives the next four years of assassination attempts.
CA's prop 8? Looks likes it's passing. I will be SO PISSED. Do Californians really want to move backward? But I'll wait till morning so I can be sure before flipping out. -

Cloud Nine
Raping a kid is not funny. Period. I don't care if it's not real; I don't care if it's satire; I don't care if the play was intended to highlight the parallels between racial and sexual oppression blah blah blah. Having a cross-dressed actress playing the role of a young boy talking in direct, almost explicit terms to her "uncle" (whom I don't ( Read more... ) -
I am saddened by my school
First, I found out that A had never heard that 42 was a special or important number. That was when I first realized how utterly bereft of geek humor this place was. But I got over it! But just this evening I discovered ( Read more... )
