Susan G. Komen and Planned Parenthood.
mariness said it best, so I'm just going to link to it.
Long story short. Susan G. Komen threw Planned Parenthood under a bus in response to the Xtianist Right and the Rethugs. They don't get any more of my money. (It's not the amount of the grants, which is under half a million. It's that you don't throw women's health under a bus for PR.)

Shaugnessy's liqueur and recipes, I hope.
There used to be a couple that did Rennfaires. They had a business named Shaughnessy's, and they sold beautiful bottles and packets of spices to add to things to make dips, and other packets of spices to add to booze. They had a lot of flavors, although we never tried them all. Unfortunately, one of them died, and the other did not continue the ( Read more... ) -
Salvation Army - Passing It on.
This is through several people, so I'm linking to the original post.
A reminder this holiday season!
Pass by those red buckets, ignore those jingling bells.
The
Salvation Army is a church not a charity. They are an anti-gay
religious group that openly discriminates in its hiring process and
denies benefits to same-sex partners. They are also pro-life.

I am going to have a holiday rant, a little bit early.
If you think that saying "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings" means that someone is attacking your religion, come down off your fucking cross, you martyr.
No. I mean it. Seriously.
I am NOT CHRISTIAN. I do not give a rat's ass about Christmas, other than to say that I like buying people presents, when I have the money, and the twinkly lights ( Read more... ) -
Tomorrow!!!!!
Tomorrow, I am going to a really and truly SHOW. They Might Be Giants and Jonathan Coulton, no less. The last actual concert I got to see was Dave Matthews Band in the Gorge, which was insanely awesome and something I want to repeat, but it was also...quite a few years ago. Meanwhile, holy shit, THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS AND JONATHAN COULTON ( Read more... ) -

The cute BURNS.
So, Tadlet got his hair cut, today. (I'm bad about that. I hate getting my hair cut so much that I always forget to take him.) And the stylist did a good job, seeing as how it's the generic short boy-cut, shaved on the sides and short on top. But then, she did something insanely cool and offered to color it for him, temporarily ( Read more... ) -
Casey Anthony Trial and Verdict.
I am not sharing my own feelings about the Casey Anthony trial and verdict. I wasn't there, I didn't hear the evidence and I know enough about the law to know that I don't know enough to make a judgement. Also, circumstantial evidence is circumstantial and often has nothing to do with a case ( Read more... )
