Boob pain has struck again, specifically the left one. Argh. Tiger Balm seems to be helping a bit, but a stabbing pain still breaks through now and again. Worse than freaking puberty. And even if it is due to not binding, I haven't bound in a couple weeks now so really it should have come sooner.

These things are not making a case for me keeping them.

Sigh. Oh well. Couple things helped. Like watching some of a travel thing on Scotland. Kilts+accents=mmmmmmmm. Gah, I wish it were possible to screw voices. Also CSI: NY...strip club...lube wrestling. I should feel bad for liking that, really, but...I don't ^_^

The school's website is just begging me to kick its ass. *growl*

I'm going to preface this by saying I'm not sure where I stand on the Rick Warren issue. I don't know enough.

I do know, however, that Melissa Etheridge and her wife have split from the majority of the GLBT community on the issue. And the community have ripped their throats out for it, which has been pissing me off.

From an article on Bilerico:

know it is not my place to tell Melissa Etheridge when she can and cannot speak, but when she continues to make excuses for Rick Warren's anti-gay bigotry, I have to say to her: shut up and sing.

And someone's comment, which pretty much sums up my opinion.

I started reading, but stopped at "shut up and sing". This reminds me of what the über-conservatives were saying when Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks denounced Bush during a concert. (Isn't "Shut Up and Sing" the name of a documentary about the incident and its backlash?)

She has the right to say what she wants, you have the right to post what you want on your blog but the difference between the two is that you're trying to stifle another point of view.

I don't agree with that point of view, but I won't tell someone who does to shut up.


From what I've read I don't think I agree with Melissa and Tammy-but they have the right to their opinion. We're always getting pissy when the far right and others try to put us all under one heading politically/socially...then we get pissy when anyone steps away from that heading. I think the Log Cabin Republicans are horribly misguided-but I don't tell them to shut up because it's their right. We know that Melissa is all for human rights, so just becuase she thinks one particular person isn't Satan doesn't mean that we should tell her to 'STFU!'

Feel free to throw things at me for this-just don't aim for the head ^_^
