I love long talks and debates. I enjoy music, food, cooking, public radio, board games, and coffee. I love [old] dresses, jewelry, farmer's markets, and cats.

Writing about photographs is a risk. The first sign of a good photograph is that it makes you want to say something about it. The second sign is that it makes whatever you say seem inadequate. The best photographs entice commentary then demean it, stimulating reaction and then cutting it off, producing noise only to extinguish it. The image actively silences the viewer.

If the fall into love happened so rapidly, it is perhaps because the wish to love has preceded the beloved - the need has invented its solution. The appearance of the beloved is only the second stage of a prior [but largely unconscious] need to love someone - our hunger for love moulding their features, our desire crystallizing around them. [But the honest side of us will never let the deception go unchallenged. There will always be moments when we will doubt whether our lover exists in reality or as we imagine them in our minds - or whatever they are not just a hallucination we have invented to prevent the inevitable loveless collapse.]

Obama Begs Waxman to Yank Birth Control from Stimulus | RHRealityCheck.org

Well, you can’t win everything. I’m willing to give the president a pass on this one, so long as he continues to show a commitment to reproductive rights.

Hell no. If this isn’t in the stimulus plan, existing programs could be cut or eliminated. Family planning is in everyone’s best economic interests, so no fucking passes.

Except the WH has already indicated they’re going to reintroduce the issue in a separate bill, and this economic stimulus bill should have passed, like, yesterday. Dire economic straits that need to be dealt with TODAY trump reproductive rights issues that can be brought up next month, IMO. Obama’s already repealed the global gag rule and pledged to uphold Roe v. Wade, I think he’s doing just fine.

Barack and Michelle Obama’s “First Dance” at the Neighborhood Ball

I was strong all day, but this finally brought me to tears.

Never mistake kindness for weakness. Never take advantage of another person’s time or good will. Never stoop to conquer. Never think you’ll get away with it. Never forget where you came from. Never give up.
