Peace Rally in Santa Cruz!

[The police department confirmed the 5-7,000 number… it was a huge march, a four lane street filled from one side to another, and from Mission Park all the way back to Ocean and Water (at least). Very inspiring. We will stop this war! -Thomas]

Free Speech

“Fear of serious injury cannot alone justify suppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burned women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.” –US Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis (source: “Stupid White Men” desktop calendar)

Molly Irvins on the Radical Right

[It is even worse than she thinks… the political manifestation of the fringe right, in the form of the Constitution and U.S. Taxpayers parties, has drawn more attention and endorsements from elected officials (such as former members of Congress) than the Green Party has gained, despite the higher profile of the latter party, and it’s […]

Medical transphobia nearly kills activist

[I can’t help but become completely enraged as I read this. The treatment this person received is utterly despicable… and an educated, professional activist of this sort is vastly better able to combat it, than an average person - who likely would have simply died. -Thomas]

Getting rid of stuff

Did another dump run today, the recycling, greenwaste and garbage bins are also all full. Filled the garbage can with boxes of old software (mostly Borland stuff) apparently scavenged by her ex-husband… what in the world he wanted with Dos 1.1 and 2.0 compatible graphics software for 128k and 256k IBM PCs is beyond me.

A weekend with the kids = no blogging. :)

Highlights:
Friday - went through their toys, threw out the broken ones, donated a bunch of the other ones to Goodwill (Lynessa was really into that) — they gave away more than half of the stuff. Not at all materialistic, I guess. Good for them.
Went on a shopping expedition after school, including checking out Radio Shack […]

White House cancels poetry event due to anti-war poems

(from John Nichols)
Whitman, of course, would have been the most problematic poet for
the Bushes. Openly gay and radical, he was no friend to politicians,
complaining that offices such as the presidency were “bought, sold, electioneered for, prostituted, and filled with prostitutes.” And one […]
