Fascinating peice comparing the behavior of abusers in domestic relationships and the actions of the Bush administration toward most Americans: Any battered woman in America, any oppressed person around the globe who has defied her oppressor will tell you this: There is nothing wrong with you. You are in good company. You are safe. You […]

Here are some textbooks disclaimers for evolutionists and other miscreants (via Jed) And all I have to say about the latest National Organization of Witches stir is: Buy yourself a T-shirt. Also, there’s a very funny and terribly touching “How the Grinch Stole Marriage” ditty up over at Ex-gay watch, just in time for the

My favorite line from Thanksgiving: “Careful what you say to her. She’ll be blogging about it on Sunday.” My best response to the yearly “are you dating anyone?” question: “No, I really like my life. I don’t want to bring in anyone else who’ll ruin it.” (this statement illicited much laughter from the widowed and

As long as these nutty people don’t hurt anybody or try and pass legislation on my bedroom activities, I really don’t mind sharing the world with them. They’re wacky and insane,

“What a wonderful life I’ve had! I only wish I’d realized it sooner.” – Colette Because I’m not superwoman. Skipped kickboxing last night. Bad sign. Wandered aimlessly downtown, renewed my worry and angst about being too big, about not losing enough weight, about not being smaller. Felt like I was spiraling into some sort of…

My buddy Greg Beatty has a poem up at Strange Horizons about sleeping beauties – check it out.

Cory Doctorow’s got a new short up at Salon.com – about gamer girls and kicking ass. Highly recommended read: Anda didn’t really start to play the game until she got herself a girl-shaped avatar. She was 12, and up until then, she’d played a boy-elf, because her parents had sternly warned her that if you
