Not replacing blogging, for me
I suppose if one is just posting cartoons and videos, then Facebook might be the right venue. I know columnists from my local newspaper and reporters from TV stations and indeed TV networks use it to pose questions to get a sense of the “pulse of the the people.” Said content often shows up in their newscasts/broadcasts.
But if one want to say something more, I still am a fan of the blog. Read the rest of this entry »

To be sure, occasionally it was just a single YouTube video, but even then, it almost always had a soupçon of contextual verbiage. (Here’s a question for you all – how does one type a ç from a standard US typewriter? The one in the previous sentence I cut and pasted.)
One of the ways I have maintained whatever level of sanity I have is that I don’t blog here nearly as often as I used to. Some days early on, I would blog here more than once a day. I’ve tried very hard not to do that anymore. Read the rest of this entry »
My text can go here. Yahoo! This is so easy.
How did I do that? Well, some years ago, I saw it done on someone’s blog (Mike Sterling? Greg Burgas? I don’t remember) and asked, “How do you do that?”
If I cut and pasted the code, then you wouldn’t see it because it would be invisible. Read the rest of this entry »

I have a blog at the Times Union newspaper, the local Hearst-owned daily, where I write far less frequently, and generally have a difficult coming up with topics there. I KNOW what I want to do here in THIS blog, but after over three FIVE years there, not so much.
It’s the week in late March of the Supreme Court hearing two cases about gay marriage, or same-sex marriage, or marriage equality. The latter term may be preferred by advocates – of which I am one – but the former two are more descriptive. It’s like talking about interracial marriage, which was a marriage equality issue in the US in my lifetime. Most people these days don’t say, “Hey, there’s an interracial couple,” do they?

Not sure from whom I got the idea of allowing y’all to ask me stuff – maybe it was Jaquandor.
But I sure know WHY I do it. You might ask me something that – maybe – I always wanted to write about it. But perhaps I edit myself because I don’t know if anyone is interested in the topic. Or perhaps propriety gets in the way; I do HAVE some sense of propriety. REALLY. And YOUR requests will assist me in liberating this piece from the recesses of my brain, and my heart.
Last month, I discovered Scottish therapist Heather Bestel, who wrote Read the rest of this entry »
Local judge removes 5-year-old from grandparents to live with mom and known child abuser. “Local” being in Michigan, with the child being moved to Utah with a mother who had never been part of her life. This particular case involves Troy, the grandfather in question, who’s contributed the ABC Wednesday team. He’s not thrilled with the way the actual story came out – I’ve seldom liked stories I’ve appeared in myself – but the “justice system” is SO wrongheaded in this case, which, as I’ve linked to before, is not an isolated incident.
KunstlerCast #215: Nicole Foss Interview. Economic contraction and the fate of the nation.
Blogger Alvin McEwen has published a booklet called How They See Us: Unmasking the Religious Right War on Gay America, which deftly exposes the most common anti-gay propaganda. Also, conservatives file amicus brief in a case before the Supreme Court; they are supporting the plaintiffs in Hollingsworth v. Perry, the challenge to California’s anti-gay marriage referendum.
How Joe E. Ross (of Car 54) is NOT like Donald Trump or Michele Bachmann.
I mentioned Melanie LAST month; I COULD mention her weekly. This month, she talks about 17 years of defying death and fulfilling longed-for dreams, and for futures that are better than what we have known.
Jaquandor: On Snark and his eleven years (!) in Blogistan. Not only that, he answered some of my questions!

Roger Ebert “took after” his aunt Martha.
Recovered suitcases from an insane asylum; this is a Kickstarter project I backed.
Why does bottled water have an expiration date? We HAVE some 2007 water in our emergency kit. Hmm.
I want THESE people to move my stuff; too bad they are in Japan.
One of many reasons why people hate Disney: Disney Refuses To Allow Epilogue To Appear In The Don Rosa Collection. You may not know the name, but if you ever read the Disney ducks, you’ve probably seen his work. The publisher Egmont has agreed to publish a link to career-end.donrosa.de in the final volume, which leads to the now unpublished text, a scathing indictment of compensation practices. (Mark Evanier clarifies this, but does not dispute, in Rosa’s case.)
A fine letter to DC Comics objecting to the hiring of hatemonger Orson Scott Card to write some Superman comics.

Chris Honeycutt – wish you were still blogging, Chris – wrote to me, “Totally thought of you on this“:
“If you’re reading this sentence, chances are you’re reading it silently…”
Yup.
“Your lips aren’t moving, you’re not making any sound that other people can hear. But are you making ’sound’ in your head?”
Absolutely.
