    Midwestern Change-The-Subject Discomfort, or Southern In-Your-Face Comfort

    The following may or may not be helpful if you know someone who’s struggling to stay positive or to stay on an even keel emotionally. I’m totally stealing it as a tactic, because the Midwestern Change-The-Subject Discomfort doesn’t really offer viable options for talking to someone about problems they may have, where Southern In-Your-Face Comfort does. Not that we’re talking anything about anything specific here, just taking note of a useful tactic. I don’t want to embarrass anyone, so I’m not going into specifics, but I also want to write about this, because I’m totally stealing it as a tactic.…

    City Weekly Headline Re-Written To Remove Gender Term, URL Changed Later

    Originally, the headline in Google Reader was: “News Blog: Tranny in lock-up complains of abuse.” It still shows that way in Reader and on Topix.net. Now it reads “Transsexual in Salt Lake County jail complains of abuse.” Apparently it was re-written at least twice to correct the headline and typos, but there’s still a few left – it’s a news blog, after all, not a front-page story. There’s another story at City Weekly that extensively quotes a very proud performer named Princess Kennedy, who apparently went to my high school. She matter-of-factly self-refers as “tranny.” Maybe in the Utah GLBT…

    Resolutions Not Meant To Be Broken If I Can Help It And Not Force-Fed Chocolate

    Isn’t this a boring blog? Isn’t it? My life’s not really this boring, it’s just that I rarely take the time to write a full-bore flat-spin blog post anymore. I fall back on my old standbys, Google Reader (shared news) and my various Twitter accounts. I can’t catch up on blogging during the work week for going on 3 years, so every now and then I do a big “here’s what’s been going on” catchall. Yeah, boring. And I haven’t even really done a big London mixed-grill slap-up bang-up, either. The pictures are still on my hard drives – the…

    Leisure and Hubbub and hello, 11th year of the 21st Century!

    I ended up getting the day off as it’s pretty slow at work, but instead of a quiet day at home with my husband David and Mr. Rileycat, working on any one of dozens of vaguely important projects, I’m bouncing from place to place in the house. The cleaning service showed up today after all (David couldn’t remember if he’d cancelled them for this week) and so they’re bustling around and I’m doing my best to either keep ahead of them (last minute cleanup job on the stovetop, catbox, dishwasher) or stay out of the way. Seems to be working…
