I'm back.
I left Friday morning before 9. I haven't been online at all in three and a half days. If there's anything you think I really should see/know, please point me at it. -
Discordian Magic presentation @ PantheaCon
I'm giving a talk (or, umm, something like that) on Discordian Magic (or, umm, something like that) at PantheaCon tomorrow at 3:30 pm.
P'con's at the Hilton Doubletree in San Jose. Odds are, if you didn't already know this, you weren't going to be there.
I will have handouts. And eight different discordian magic spells for people to take home. -

Meta, Race and Censorship
I scrolled to metafandom on both of my flists (this LJ/IJ thing is making me schizophrenic) and decided to check out ignazwisdom's post, In which I dip my toes into the churning waters of race meta, and hope not to be bit by sharks*. And it was interesting, and the replies were interesting, and I wrote a response...

I voted.
I love absentee ballots. Check boxes, mark lines, drop off envelope at polling place of choice; no waiting, no weird cramped little booths at a height designed to cause back spasms in 80% of registered voters.
As a member of the Guns and Dope Party, I don't get to vote for candidates. Just state proposals and county measures ( Read more... )
