Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Glad you're back online, omnis, and yay to ND for Ikea enabling.
Askye, you made the right call. Feel better!
smonster, I'm thinking you are long since asleep. But if you want to do a productivity email round tomorrow, I have some things I need to get done, and I should be around.
Yes! Always! I'll be in and out due to meetings today, but still willing to play. And definitely tonight after I get home.

Yay! I got stuff I want to get done, but some of it, I have serious laziness about. Anybody else want to play?

Incidentally, I probably won't start on my list in earnest until early this afternoon. I just want to make sure I do get started, at all.

Nora, I still can't quite believe you guys are doing this!
I know, right?!?!!?
Strasburg--> Chattanooga leg today. Hey, when exactly do we hit Central time? According to the internets, it's at some point in Tennessee.

Safe journey, Nora, et al. It's good to see (in FB) that the feline contingent are doing so well.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Nora, the time change is somewhere between Knoxville and Nashville, but after Chattanooga.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anyone heard about this? Save the Life of Kiana Firouz
Kiana Firouz, 27 years old, is an outspoken Iranian LGBT rights activist, filmmaker, and actress. When clips of her video documentary work featuring the struggle and persecution of gays and lesbians in her country were acquired by Iranian intelligence, agents began to follow Firouz around Tehran, harassing and intimidating her. She fled for England where she could safely continue her work and studies.
She plays a starring role in Cul de Sac, a documentary film produced in the UK about the condition of lesbians in Iran, and based heavily on Firouz’s own life story. Directed by Ramin Goudarzi-Nejad and Mahshad Torkan, the movie will premiere in London in a few days. Since the trailer was posted on YouTube in December 2009, Cul de Sac has attracted global media attention, with thousands of views. Apparently, some of those views included members of Ahmadinejad’s puppet media in Iran. They know who Firouz is and what she stands for. They want her to come back to the country she was born in to answer for it.
Firouz, understandably, has requested asylum from the British government. Much to everyone’s shock and dismay, the British Home Office has rejected her application for refugee status. Yes, they know she’s gay. Yes, they know she could deported back to Iran at any time, and that if this happens, Firouz will most likely be sentenced to torture and death after being found guilty of the “unspeakable sin of homosexuality” because she has participated in explicit lesbian sex scenes in the movie, and been a fierce proponent for human rights in her country.
