I heard Jonathan Kozol speak at a book signing in DC a few years ago, when Shame of the Nation had just come out, and he was incredible.
That's insane troll logic!

Spike's Bitches 37: You take the killing for granted.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I'd really like to see him speak.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

So glad things are going better for you! Go Team!
(I am 35 -- quelle WTF?!).
OMG, I so hear you. I mean, I'm 34, but - yeah. And this evening while I was out with colleagues getting moderately wellied down the Kao San Road, one of them told me that I looked really good for my age. Which she totally meant as a compliment (she explained that she'd have assumed I was in my 20s), and I took it as such, but it was still a bit of a gobsmacker that I can possibly be old enough for anyone to say such a thing.

I prefer "You don't LOOK that old!" which leaves me at once complimented and kinda freaked at the "O" word.
35!? That's insane! When did THAT happen?

Always Anti-fascist!
I've had people argue with me and say I couldn't possibly...which I suppose would be a compliment if I had, like, this whole regimen that I was madly devoted to, but I don't, so I feel funny accepting it for my ancestors or something.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Ugh one time this guy wouldn't let me buy cigarettes, that weren't even for me! Because he swore I wasn't 18. He wouldn't even look at my ID. I was 24 at the time.

I love living in a city again.
And I'm drinking elderflower beer right now. AIFG.
No more arse-end-of-nowhere for me! Yay!

God, I didn't just abuse exclamation points there, I freakin' strung 'em up, flooged them and sold 'em as child prostitutes.
Erin, may I tag?

ERIN!!!!!
Jars! Good to see you too!
So, in shit-you-not news, on my driving adventures today, I passed a store called, "Off Track Bedding." I think I laughed for 10 minutes. Who in their right mind would shop at a place who thought *that* was a good name?
