Ugh. Just read the story about the Iraqi girl who was stoned to death and they caught it on video.
Humans suck.
Indeed they do. But did you read Joss Whedon's response? [link]
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Joss's response made me cry. Also made me join Equality Now and give them money.

The DH and I have been loaning a little money each month through kiva.org in an effort to make the world a better place. I'm not sure what his criteria are for choosing his borrowers, but I've always picked a woman.
ION, my niece came in 2nd this year at the Topanga Canyon Banjo & Fiddle Contest in her fiddle category. I'm a proud auntie.

There's also Modest Needs, though it's donation-based, not loan-based.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
yay for Mal! yay for good news stories. I spent too much time talking about the pit that has been roaming around our neighborhood for the last five days. It looks like thy finally caught it. Sadly, I think it was a fight dog that was dumped. the animal control officer thought someone should "befriend" it and trap in their backyard. I think if the used used the word lure , I might have been a little more excepting of the idea. because they couldn't get near it. But it did trap some one in their house for a day ( it decided to live on her front porch) and no one cam e and got it then. I think they finally caught it this morning.

Me too. And write a rant in my LJ. And finally join Educate Girls Globally. And buy a Dua Khalil t-shirt and buttons.
I am a woman on a mission.

Oh my gosh, Raq, he is so big
A couple other mothers this weekend assumed he was 3. But really he only wears 2T! And the waists are too big, so he's always got that gangsta look.
I just dropped off my rental application. There was almost tragedy: I was so occupied with making sure I had all the checks and stuff that I forgot to put the handbrake on!
Of course, the car didn't start rolling until I was out of it, so I had to unlock it and dive in and yank the brake up before it hit anything. I came about a foot, or maybe 7 seconds, from hitting a parked car.
Thankfully I had parked in the space with the most room behind, but diving headfirst into a Miata from standing? Ow.

Sparky and Steph, thanks for posting about Kiva.org and Modest Needs. I've been lately wanting just such organizations, but I didn't know they existed.
Me too. And write a rant in my LJ. And finally join Educate Girls Globally. And buy a Dua Khalil t-shirt and buttons.
Kristin, I think I'll be doing all those things too.
Dua Khalil's murder has hit the same way Matthew Shepard's murder did. I can't stop thinking about it, I can't stop crying, and I'm so angry, with no one in front of me to blame and punch.

What is even happening?
Thankfully I had parked in the space with the most room behind, but diving headfirst into a Miata from standing? Ow.A bit too much like jumping into a rolling mini-van, seven months pregnant, huh?
