Things I don't love about Switzerland: the motion sensor in the bathroom TURNING THE LIGHTS OUT ON ME at inopportune times.

Things I do love about Switzerland: a popular catfood brand is ExcelCat. I see it, and I think, UBERCAT. Then I am pleased.

It's warm and beautiful here today. I've been watching the snow melt on the mountains when I've not been working my ass off.

Speaking of: I feel tired and fragile.

Patty so soon! We actually have to firm up dates to try to get her over here, because it's been complicated, but if nothing else, soon I will be there. I hope she got the package I sent her today, since it has Halloween treats in it. Any joy, baby?

neo_prodigy, with significant comprehensiveness, sums up the damage done to multiple communities by various straight, white female fans who don't get intersectionality.

Haiti still needs our help. It still hasn't finished recovering from the earthquake and the cholera outbreak is just one symptom of that.

Obama says his position on gay marriage has evolved. He's just not told us into what exactly. I'm getting tired of hoping. Let's have some happening.

Basketball and the billionaire. It's always the Nets. ALWAYS.

Public chess in NYC wound up with unique (incorrect) boards. So people are making due.

Links vastly not comprehensive, because I have time and connection problems. Seek out the world!

Theater Thursdays coming later!

Like I said, some of this impression is predicated on previous things he's written, but just things like "chicks," "hissy fit," and in particular the "porcelain vagina" remarks which are a strong echo to my ears of both misogynistic gay men slamming women's anatomy and straight men complaining that women always think they have "pussies made of gold." Plus a a generally belligerent attitude about being called out on sexist stuff.

And as I said, I don't disagree with him either on this point. It's certainly nothing in this case worth calling out (and thus derailing). Just hearing some dissonant notes.
