…it’s where Zeus sells his used thunderbolts

Stuff

1: The California Supreme Court has ruled that the ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional. Gee, do ya think that might be because getting married, in the eyes of the state (NOT in the eyes of any fucking church), is entering into a legal contract? Do ya think that it might just be setting up a “separate, but equal” situation to demand that a group of people accept a “civil union” instead of a marriage? Oh, and to any rightwing religious fuck who might read this, “separate, but equal” was ruled illegal by the U.S. Supreme Court. Of course, the righties are crying “Legislating from the bench!” (which, oddly, only seems to apply to rulings they don’t agree with) and threatening to pass an amendment to the California constitution. Stupid homophobic assholes.

2: According to some gardening and sustainable agriculture blogs that I read, home gardens are on the rise due to the sucky economy. YAY! Once again, Your Humble Narrator is way ahead of the curve! Y’all should plant some veggies or fruits or herbs. (especially herbs, which are hella expensive if you buy ’em fresh in the store) Veggie gardening is fun and you get to eat what you grow.

3: Since I can’t get to any of the big cons this year, I’m thinking of giving my cell number to those of you who are going so you can call me on the Saturday/Sunday of Origins or GenCon and give me a con report.

I write things that I think people might enjoy reading, especially if they are roleplayers or just strange.

  1. 1. Amen! It’s because of the constant discrimination that I’d been thinking of filking Nina Simone’s “Mississippi Goddamn.” “And I mean every word of it.”
    2. This does not surprise me in the least; I thought this might happen, especially after I’d started helping Pete with his garden. Hell, if the economy continues down to the Depression that I swear I see coming, we may see more than just vegetable gardens — we may see mini farms. People keeping chickens and goats and such.

  3. I might be able to swing some herbs, but most vegetables require much more work (here in Minnesota) than my “benign neglect” style of garden affords. Still, I loves me some fresh veggies, so farmers’ markets are my friend.
