Ahhhhgggg!

Why does my baby have a meltdown every single time  I need to send an email?  I do not understand.  I work at the computer off and on all day and she does her baby thing.  Until I start to send an email.  Then it is like the world ends and hurricanes and earthquakes and before you know it the apocalypse is happening right in my kitchen ( Read more... )

I thought I had said everything I needed to on the subject, both in my posts and responses to a lot of other posts more well written than mine.  I was wrong.

This is going to be a post about race.

If you need to back away and not read that is cool, I won't be angry or upset.  If you do post I only have one rule - Don't refer to 'Racefail '09' as ( Read more... )

bookshop  sends us to Elizabeth Bear's latest and possibly most fail-worthy post on the subject.

Points to Bear for covering her race bingo card -AND- locking out comments in the same post.  Bonus points for the oh so calm and rational suggestion we just -

I am not comfortable talking about politics.  I don't vote along a party line and my ballot usually ends up looking like abstract art.  Above a local level I don't like most of the ( Read more... )

Whoa...did the interface change?

Yes, I have been quiet forever but in defense I had this whole period of days where I couldn't see (hello corneal abrasion) and then weeks where trying to do anything on the computer gave me headaches. (driving was a pain as well)

I am having a bad month...or I'm not.  I really don't know.  I don't enjoy talking ( Read more... )
