For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much — the wheel, New York, wars and so on — whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they

Still....so long and thanks for all the fish.

My mother picked cotton as a child on my great-grandfather's farm in Monticello, MS. He owned his own land, largely because my great-grandmother was a light skinned black woman who "passed" for white for the first 30 years of her life. Her first husband was white (apparently he knew her true heritage) and she acquired

A blog about how to live a one-of-a-kind life doesn't even make any sense.

As I've written about before here I placed a child in a closed adoption. When 9/11 happened I scanned the victim lists with nothing more to go on than a family with the right number of kids the right ages. I remember that fear too well. Fortunately my daughter is alive and we've been reunited for 2.5 years (she's

Gay atheist kittens, preferably.

If we made the banknotes entirely out of Spandex it'd be easier to make our money stretch.

Geese are awful assholes, and it is entirely too cold to go outside without their feathers keeping me warm. This opinion might make me a monster, but I'm a warm monster.

Normally I feel horrible about things like this, but geese are the worst.

For some reason, any time a heterosexual woman kisses another heterosexual woman in this context, they seem obliged to refer to the other as having "soft lips." I always wondered about the lips of the men that these poor women were ordinarily kissing, and then finally deduced that this means "her mouth was not

Sometimes your cat tortures Christmas... and sometimes Christmas tortures your cat back (heh).

Rape is a major problem. But so is assuming guilt.

I've been feeling depressed lately, and I don't know why. I am having the best year of my life. I am in grad school for an MLS degree, I am working two archival part-time jobs, and I may get a well-paying full-time job next year. If I do, I can save up for a trip to London and Paris, and someday adopt a dog or cat.
