Brian's 2011 year end wrap up
2011 felt like a year where I spent most of my time dealing with the ongoing but dwindling after effects of previous years. Deaths, breakups, decisions, accidents, mistakes. Mostly bad. There were some positive consequences, too, but they feel overwhelmed now, in the final waning hours of the year. I’d still like to acknowledge the good, though. Debt: my debt, as I’ve said many...

soupsoup: Secret Fed Loans Gave Banks Undisclosed $13B The Fed didn’t tell anyone which banks were in trouble so deep they required a combined $1.2 trillion on Dec. 5, 2008, their single neediest day. Bankers didn’t mention that they took tens of billions of dollars in emergency loans at the same time they were assuring investors their firms were healthy. And no one calculated until now that...

Your hair more blonde than the auburn it was
I watched you approach as my friend was talking to me about something related to the labor union march we had both just participated in. I don’t know, I tuned him out. Your face and your bearing struck me and I could not take my eyes off your face. You walked up, stood next to us, your eyes intently on the screen, looking at the time or the schedule being displayed. Not once did your eyes...

Organon: To all those men who don't think the rape... →
charnanigans: oforganon: I get it—you’re a decent guy. I can even believe it. You’ve never raped anybody. You would NEVER rape anybody. You’re upset that all these feminists are trying to accuse you of doing something, or connect you to doing something, that, as far as you’re concerned, you’ve never done and would never… I will never ever be able to emphasize how important and dead-on this...

Nothing less than spectacular
My friend Athena has been having some actual, successful dates lately, and part of it, I think, is that she’s realizing how hard it must be to actually date her, combined with finally finding men who are OK with that.
