  • Pretty and my wallet survived the vet without anything too dramatic happening. Yay. She's at work with me now.

  • Plane makes emergency landing when dude tries to open emergency door mid-flight. This part of the story makes me furious and puzzled: "A passenger, Casey Coleman, told 7News that flight attendants directed all of the females to the back of the plane and all of the males to the front. Coleman said a flight attendant ordered the men to hold down the passenger over the intercom."

  • Dogboy & Justine did not win the festival, which is fine and as I suspected. The plays that tied for first place I actually liked a good deal. I remain baffled how one of the others even made the finals and interested in the degree that I don't think short play audiences want the content of these things to linger.

  • A Buffalo woman has been charged with blinding a lesbian in one eye in an anti-gay assault.

  • [livejournal.com profile] sparkindarkness brings us a list of recent trans-related news items, most of them appalling. I keep saying this over and over, but trans issues, gay issues, and feminist issues are everyone's issues. In a world where gender isn't a supposed dichotomy and "feminine" isn't a dirty word EVERYONE -- even straight cis-gendered men -- is safer.

  • This story on medical radiation errors is almost impossible to read it's so awful, but should be read anyway. I wonder, to what degree, I can barely read it is impacted by my Cold War childhood. This was, in a way, how we all thought we were going to die.

  • I like Patty times-evelentybillion. So I'm going to get some work done now (cat is in the office with me!) so I can get home to her!
