via Facebook... I've started over SO MANY TIMES. New states, new jobs, new husbands, quitting work to be a new mother. There's always stuff to take from everything before, so it's not really starting from scratch, but looking in from the outside it must seem so weird...

via Facebook... Yes. Yes. Those pesky environmentalists meddling around sucking up all the waters. Excuse me while I go remove the cramp reading this left in my brain.

via Facebook... Okay, who do I know in Indiana that's gay and is going to get married. Because now you HAVE TO ORDER PIZZA FROM THESE GUYS HOLY SHIT AND INVITE ME!

via Facebook... "There are examples of singular "they" in Louis Carroll, Jane Austen, the King James Bible, Shakespeare, Thackeray, Eliot and Walt Whitman. The backlash against it, it seems, is one of those things, like the war on split infinitives, sentence-ending prepositions and using "hopefully" to modify a sentence, that aroused the ire of some self-appointed 18th-century grammar guardians who didn't really know what they were talking about, and their ill-informed pettiness has poisoned the well for the rest of us."

via Facebook... Bloody bollocks. For the HUGO awards to fall to shite? "To be frank, it means that traditional sci-fi/fantasy fandom does not have any legitimacy right now. Period. A community that can be this effectively controlled by someone who thinks black people are subhuman and who has called for acid attacks on feminists is not one whose awards have any sort of cultural validity. That sort of thing doesn’t happen to functional communities. And the fact that it has just happened to the oldest and most venerable award in the sci-fi/fantasy community makes it unambiguously clear that traditional sci-fi/fantasy fandom is not fit for purpose."
