A morning
My alarm this morning woke me up in the middle of a dream in which I was reading 2 emails, one chatty missive from Obama and one from Lyndon B. Johnson that had Obama's birth certificate as an attachment. Both had something to do with the fact that I'd tried to walk (or possibly instantly transport myself) to California but gotten lost in Indiana.
It was really weird.
I also read LOTS of interesting news stories! Here's two:
An interesting article on the history of gender-neutral pronouns, for some reason also about Twitter.
Not a Victim, But a Hero: After being kidnapped at the age of 16 by a group of thugs and enduring a year of rapes and beatings, Assiya Rafiq was delivered to the police and thought her problems were over.
Then, she said, four police officers took turns raping her.
The next step for Assiya was obvious: She should commit suicide. [...] Instead, Assiya summoned the unimaginable courage to go public and fight back.
