Every now and then, I

Every now and then, I take a look at how much work I put in on my two sites and how much feedback I actually get from people, and I am just amazed that anyone even reads all the stuff I write, let alone appreciates it enough to write me about it. I guess that’s the old self-esteem issues cropping up again, but it really does amaze me. I think I’d like to keep that amazement though, it makes me appreciate the people who take the time to write me all the more. I like being humble, because every time I start to not be, something happens to make me humble all over again. It would be easier to just stay that way, eh? *L* Besides, there are so many people out there that I can learn from, that I don’t think I could ever feel like they have nothing to offer me.

  • Rape culture?

    Lauren has some interesting ideas about what its going to take to stop rape and sexual violence. I’m not saying I agree with everything she says here, (I would argue for a more individual responsibility approach, but I also understand that not stigmatizing rapists and abusers does enable them to continue.) but it’s all worth…

  • Going out tomorrow?

    If you’re in the US, and planning on eating out tomorrow, how about eating at Chilis? They are donating 100% of their profits on Sept. 25th to Saint Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, one of the leading childhood cancer centers in the world. Thanks to Kevin for the pointer.
