I wasn't intending this to be my 500th post on LJ, but I guess this is good enough. ^_^

A brief rundown of stuff that's happened since I last wrote something here:

• The freak late October snowstorm that dumped a huge amount of snow in Connecticut and put at least 60% of the state without power. Thankfully we didn't lose power or cable this time, ( Read more... )

Okay, so I don't usually do this, but this is an issue near and dear to me and this is getting very little no attention in the mainstream media.

Mississippi is voting on November 8th on whether to pass Amendment 26, the "Personhood Amendment". This amendment would grant fertilized eggs and ( Read more... )

Ugh, this week was a total bust. I hardly got any of my work done -- especially the activist stuff for Social Movements -- I didn't get a chance to do most of the things I wanted to do, I didn't look for any jobs or things like that, I'm still angsting over the summer job I wanted that won't work out, the pictures for my class yearbook all came ( Read more... )
