“…I never thought you couldn’t be a feminist if you wore pantyhose and high heels...”
– Carrie Bradshaw, The Carrie Diaries
Who would have thought I could get a feminist quote out of this book? shocker
(via fuckyeahfeminists)
Feminism is about having the full range of choices. That includes my sister’s awe-inspiring array of makeup as much as my duster and boots.

Work
Holding the horn is hard enough, but the tricky part of busking is everything else. The worst is hammering sixteenth note triplets from the top of the range to the bottom through ninety-five degree heat, eighty percent humidity, and Atlanta smog. My pitch is in full sun. Passing people and groups must be gaged. I have to remember demographic information about what has worked in the past. One...

Why Autism Awareness is broken →
I wish he knew how to use an apostrophe, but I agree. Things have gotten too political. People seem to care more about winning personal arguments than making sure the individuals concerned end up with decent lives.

Autism and Education Conference
“Can you tell me what he meant?” she asked.
I refused to speculate on the deeper meaning of a rare statement of opinion by a boy, somewhat verbal, whom I had never met. The mic moved down the line. I was the eldest at one end of the stage. The second oldest was on the other side. We were the only ones a stranger might not pick out on a MARTA platform. Well-rested, well-fed, with the...

acentric:
So, the heterosexuals are on the swingset, swinging back and forth like most people do.
And then there are the homosexuals swinging, like, side to side or something.
The bisexuals are sort of alternating between the two, and the pansexuals are just twisting their swing up in a…
This is why figures of speech are awsome.

A statement both true AND a reference to my favorite childhood game? Magic.

I never got the hang of Oregon Trail. Does that qualify me to be a...

Medicaid Cuts
This is from an email The Arc of Georgia is passing around:
…Programs critical to people with I/DD may take the brunt of the cuts. Members of Congress are reluctant to cut Medicare as the elderly community is a vocal, reliable voting constituency. Social Security is the “third rail” in politics. That leaves Medicaid on the table as a prime target for cuts…Fewer people will get care. People...

ladydane:
I should put some stuff in my tumblr queue so that it’ll look like I care. But I’m too lazy. So I leave you with this.
unfollow if you must I guess.

Rebuild the Dream
I collect figures of speech. I picture their literal meaning whenever I think of them. That makes them more amusing for me than other people. A favorite is my old theatre tech teacher’s “up to our asses in alligators.” It is an apt description of our situation:

and it went much more amazingly then I ever thought it would.
When I talked about the mom who talked about wanting to kill her autistic daughter in front of that daughter in the Autism Speaks video Autism Every Day, a girl in the back cried.

In Theory
When I was decorating wifebeaters for the Atlanta summer, I considered printing one insisting I am off duty. I would probably have worked in it within a week. One of those phone calls would come. I would see opportunity passing by through the window of a cafe. Aria would inevitably be waiting in the car.
I have vacation almost as often as I see herds of unicorns crossing Ponce. In theory,...
