Teaching today! I'm nervous. Haven't taught a class for about three years. Let's hope it's a skill you don't lose. (I don't say 'like riding a bike'. I actually forgot how to do that.)
Hi, omnis! Welcome back.
Every time I hear about something like this I think about those people who are unable to fight as hard for what they need as you were able to in this situation.
That's exactly it. The Girl and I think about that all the time. We have a lot of privilege - we're educated, and I have The Girl to fight for me when I can't do anymore. Most people don't have these advantages. That's why I campaign and give training, and The Girl spends hours giving advice to people she knows are having problems of this kind. (She's thinking of doing a law course and setting up a charity-type-thing with me, so that we can help people in a more official capacity.)
Good luck, Seska! Kick ass! (and oh, my sista in forgetting-how-to-ride-a-bike!).
I have to tell a fellow mod in Hollaback Israel to back off until she'll feel better and more empathic. She's kindda cold lately, and it's a problem when handling the site. Not sure how tell an uber intelligent and proud person to back off until she'll regain sensitivity without hurting her feelings.
Y'all are making me blush.
Heh. I wasn't even trying this time.
But you were missed.
Work is a bit crazy right now. If not working long hours, then coming home tired. Plus, y'all talk a lot! (not meant in a bad way).
Shir, what's this alt HI you mention??
You'll have to give me a link to where I mentioned an alt HI.
Also, why aren't you sleeping now?
Huh, maybe I misunderstood when you said
ION: I swear I didn't mean to start a movement when started Hollaback Israel. Kindda seems as if I did it. Whoops.
I blame skimming several hundred posts. And reading when tired. But that can't hide the pride! You are awesome!!
ION, I didn't mention, that while I have been working hard, part of that included a field trip to Vegas to see LOVE, and get a backstage tour of the sound system. Gotta love field trips!! Woulda been better if the blackjack tables were in my price range, and the slots were less of a bitch to me. But I can't complain! It was awesome. And tiring. Walked 15km in two days! Oy!
As for why not in bed? Good question. Um. It's cold and lonely??? What? seems about as good of an excuse as any. Plus, I'm not going in until 1pm. I worked 57 hours this past week, I'm taking mornings off until I can't!
eta:
pics of Vegas are in my Flickr and Facebook. Careful, lots of geeky pictures, not a lot of people pictures. I think, only one with me in it. What? I'm not going to turn the iPhone on myself. It might break!
I didn't mean to be awesome. I wish people believed me about it. It's really weird, the whole thing. Right now, trying to avoid making it into something more official work-like (even though it is).
Yay, Vegas!
Humm. Watch Doctor. Doctor is good. Sherlock is also watchable.
I've done that before.
I might be doing it now, and it's fucking great.
