On Promoting Ourselves

So far, this year I’ve read 16 books.  I can’t tell you if that’s better or worse than any other year because I never used to keep track of them.  I have a goal of reading at least 50 books …

Harassment in the Least Expected of Places

I’ve been working a long time.  A lot longer than most people I know in my age range.  Part of that was due to a strong penchant for disliking boredom and work kept me busy.  When I was a kid, …

Karl Heideck:  And the Death Threats Begin

I am a pretty active and vocal participant in social media.  It’s how I’m wired, being an extrovert and all.  But I’ve never, until today, had anyone visibly express a desire to have bodily harm caused to me.  I can …

I’ve Got a Face That’s Made for Violence

An Open Letter to My Scale

I’m not entirely sure if Colbie Caillat is trying to start a makeup free movement or just help women feel better about the fact that we don’t look like her.  Listen lady, you’ve got a lot of natural beauty to …

One Step Forward, A Mile Back

By Li Posted on 07/01/2014 Posted in blog, fact, god, rants, religion, science, writing

I was absolutely appalled at yesterday’s SCOTUS decision to allow family run companies to deny birth control coverage to their female employees while citing their deep religious beliefs. I grew up in a world where women had the right to …
