Respite

Taking a break from blogging for awhile. Nothing new to say, tired of bitching about the same old shit.

Talk amongst yourselves.

me again... ok... so you wanna hear a funny story?? Too bad, I'm telling anyway! So I was looking at the title of this post, 'respite', and I'm thinking 'yikes, i hope James isn't angry about something'... since 'respite' sounds a whole lot like 'despite', and I'd never heard the word before... sooooo... i went to webster's and found that

res·pite ( P ) 1. A usually short interval of rest or relief. See Synonyms at pause.
2. Law. Temporary suspension of a death sentence; a reprieve.

So of course I am relieved... and now I just want to say, James, i hope your 'usually short interval of rest or relief' is both restful as well as relieving, and I hope to see you back real soon!

UPDATE TO PREVIOUS POST

Tim's flight went smoothly and he is now in Arkansas. My day feels hollow without being able to IM him. Still no word on exactly when he'll be back--either Friday night or Saturday morning/afternoon. Oh, and add that supreme bitch, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) to the list of modern-era senators refusing to cosponser the anti-lynching measure. I have also added her to my litany of reasons for truly despising this fucktard state in which I live. MEMO TO THE GOP: Your true (lack of) colors are showing. Smarmy sanctimonious bastards.

On "Political Differences"

I had some thoughts on this interesting article and was gonna thread them on my Twitter timeline, but I have too much to say on the matter, so I decided to dig out and dust off my old blog and post them here. Here's the thing about explicitly disliking a "political other" that the media doesn't want to cop to: There is actually clearly a right and wrong side at this point in history. Once upon a time, the differences in the Democratic and the Republican parties were simply regional and political stances on tax policy and fiscal spending and a myriad of other procedural thingamabobs. Precisely because both parties were inherently and inexorably racist, misogynistic, and LGBTQ-phobic because America  was vastly racist, misogynistic, and LGBTQ-phobic. Some might argue that it still is. And they're right. It is. But it used to be FAR, FAR worse and much more banally violent about it, too. POC, women, and LGBTQ people were freely beaten and murdered, with little
