While I was reading friends’ updates at Facebook today, something reminded me of a girl I knew back in high school. She went to my high school, and as far as I know, she was in my graduating class. I didn’t meet her at school, though, and I don’t think our paths crossed there. I […]
Miscellany
I lost track of who originally linked to what, so I can’t credit them properly. But thank you to whoever they all were, anyway! Filed under “another reason I’m proud to be a homeschooler”: California court rules that private school can oust lesbian students. I do understand that it’s a private religious school and that […]
Random Things Meme
Leah tagged me on Facebook to write 25 random things about myself, then Sam tagged me to come up with 16 random tidbits. I’m not good at these things, but I’ll give it a try. I didn’t go to kindergarten but started first grade when I was 5 because my mother thought she had to put […]
Anniversary!
Ten years ago today, Sam took me out on our first “real” date (as in, without the kids or anyone else). Thank you, love. Here’s to many more decades!
TotD: Emma Goldman on Love
Love, the strongest and deepest element in all life, the harbinger of hope, of joy, of ecstasy; love, the defier of all laws, of all conventions; love, the freest, the most powerful molder of human destiny; how can such an all-compelling force be synonymous with that poor little State and Church-begotten weed, marriage? Free love? […]
TotD: Carter Heyward on Love
Carter Heyward: Love, like truth and beauty, is concrete. Love is not fundamentally a sweet feeling; not, at heart, a matter of sentiment, attachment, or being “drawn toward.” Love is active, effective, a matter of making reciprocal and mutually beneficial relation with one’s friends and enemies. Love creates righteousness, or justice, here on earth. To […]
Poly? Please to take survey!
Danielle Duplassie, MA, RCC, a Doctoral Student in Human Sexuality at The Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, sent a request to one of the lists I’m on tonight seeking polyamorous people to take a survey that is part of her research. It won’t even take you five minutes. Go clicky! Edited: Whoops! […]
What Can All Couples Learn From Same-Sex Marriages?
From Gay Unions Shed Light on Gender in Marriage A growing body of evidence shows that same-sex couples have a great deal to teach everyone else about marriage and relationships. Most studies show surprisingly few differences between committed gay couples and committed straight couples, but the differences that do emerge have shed light on the […]
SBQ: Sick of a WIP?
The Stitching Blogger’s Question of the Week is: Do you ever get to a point working on a project that you’ve had for so long, you start to wonder what possessed you to start it in the first place? Of course! It has always happened with patterns I chose to do for someone else, though, rather than those […]
Date Night–Baby!
We had Chinese food together tonight, and played for a while. There was some ick, but I suspected that it was coming. The happy part is that my character’s oldest son (foster son, really) baby was born. First grandbaby! There have been many babies born in the last “year” of the game, and there are […]
