One of those feelings that's hard to describe...
My first temptation was to post that this week has seen some of the highest and lowest times of my life. Maybe it has one of the top moments of my life. Just how hard I'm finding it to type that must mean that I'm quite repressed ( Read more... ) -

Privilege Part 2, a New Job, ANZAC

Most of the things I'm doing are yoga based to try to help straighten my back with a bit of cardio to get the blood pumping and start the day well. ( Read more... ) -
The Subtext of Orson Scott Card
So in my tradition of arguments with a certain vocal person on the internet, I've decided to post my argument on here, rather than take them up on how wrong they are, so that I can have it to show to people should the need arise, but not to take them up on their antagonistic views directly. This person gets themselves into a fit of accusatory and ( Read more... ) -
