Grim Colberty Tales with Maurice Sendak Pt. 1

TheNation: MCA’s Feminist Legacy -- I agree with some of the commenters that there are problematic elements to this piece, but I still think it's worth sharing.

*sigh* The past two days have sucked mightily. Migraine started Monday, and Tues/Wed were nasty despite meds. Today's a lot better; still feeling a touch wonky, but nothing dramatic. Got a lot done on a really tough puzzle over the past few days, though (progress pics over at my FB). Really looking forward to getting home and finishing it ( Read more... )

Blarg. Woke up with a migraine at 7am this morning. Took meds, settled into my new jigsaw puzzle again until they kicked in, and about two hours later a massive thunderstorm with hail hit and passed over really quickly. We're due for storms all day. Never did get back to sleep, and although the migraine is mostly gone my brainmeats are mushier ( Read more... )

Well, I have my schedule for this weekend; second shift Saturday and first shift Sunday. Otherwise not much going on; my mood's been a bit wonky this week, but that's mostly due to some financial stress; life is otherwise quite good ( Read more... )

Switching back and forth between project work and linketies, hence the frequent smaller postings. Besides, my brainmeats aren't optimally functional today, and I'm having more trouble with focus anyway. Most of this post's articles were sourced from Alternet, but there are a few random additions, too. Lots of political stuff in this one.

Good grief, where to start? It'll probably take me a few days to even begin to catch up.

I think I'll start mostly with local Cleveland and Ohio news, and some random silly/quicky stuff.
