and Bene shows her hand
I don’t usually say things like this. Mostly because I don’t find it productive. But wow, hearing about what just happened to Micole as part of Racefail? That sort of broke me. The ‘progressive’ SF establishment? You can all kindly go fuck off and die. Right now. You fucking elitist self-aggrandizing asswipes. How dare you […]

Throwing Pasta at the Wall
So Chally was doing that interview meme, and because I enjoy talking about myself, I decided to go for it.

Byte Your Tongue
My apologies for not blogging lately–the holiday season and the end of the year, between work and family and maintaining some sort of sanity, sort of chewed up my initiative to write.

Stepping away from politics: well, shit, io9 has done it again with the massive fail. Having gone to find Annalee Newitz’s list of economic downfall SF as per a link on Aqueduct Press’ blog, I had to shuffle through a bunch of other stuff first in Google Reader.

I totally love when other people write posts that say what I wanted to say, but better. Admittedly, I’m also a little jealous, but still, it’s gratifying to know you’re not alone.
