The health care reform bill that recently passed in the House of Representatives includes a ban on private health insurance coverage for abortion care for millions of women, and would also prohibit coverage in the public option, even for women who pay for most or even all of the cost of health insurance themselves. This proposal is a cruel betrayal ( Read more... )

My favourite thrift shop, Pennies For Change (whose profits go to benefit domestic violence shelters), was about two miles from my house. During October I was too busy to go there, and during the last few weeks I noticed it was empty. Well great, I thought, another business I like has gone underWell, I went out for some sodas today, and on the way ( Read more... )

I've given up on Torchwood. I tried to like it, especially since it has Welsh characters and takes place in Wales. However, there was only one character I have any sympathy for (Ianto), and as far as I can tell, he is there primarily to be everybody's whipping boy and clean up other people's messes. No thanks.

Okay, so I've watched the first two DVDs of Torchwood and seen the infamous Captain Jack. I have to say I'm not impressed with him. He's not my type - too macho by half and his being American doesn't win any points with me - and I think he was cruel to Ianto in "Cyberwoman". He wasn't just insensitive, he was cruel ( Read more... )

I just discovered that my Equilibrium mini-fic is listed on a directory of Equilibrium fanfics. What's interesting is that it's listed as slash, even though I specifically wrote it as gen and stated that it was not slash.

Isn't it funny how people manage to see what they want to, even when it isn't there?
