One of our favorite shows just went all Kramer on Mexicans. (And things will never be the same. Sigh). Car show Top Gear appears to have gone off the deep end with anti-Mexican sentiment.

Oh, Mercedes Lackey, no. -- my experience with her books was similar to the writer's; it's why one of my dogs is named Tarma. I won't defend her as great lit, but deeply influential? Yeah. Very much so.

Because the House Republicans aren't satisfied at merely attacking the right to choose and revictimizing survivors of sexual violence, they are also fixing to defund violence prevention, too.

So excited! Had a really good meeting today with Casey and folks from the SANE program at Metro. We're designing a new element for their training program, and I'm really excited about it; I've been interested in working with the SANE program for years. It's a great chance to make use of the skills I've learned in the past decade of patient-instructing in order to support a program I really believe in (I love patient-instructing, but this is a great chance to do something additional). It'll be quite different from patient-instructing; we'll be role-playing through the whole sexual assault kit exam, from interviews to sample collection, but there are a lot of skills I already have that will apply well, especially in terms of handling the spec exam. So, yes, very excited!


And also, just a couple of random followup thoughts from my previous ramblings:

I tend toward definitions that err on the side of inclusiveness

Intimate personal activism something I learned from feminism and especially queerness (out as political)

Oddly, I'd say evangelism is a form of activism. Weird that I have such a squick about it.

I'm really tired, or I'd expand on those (they're the notes I sent myself when the thoughts crossed my mind).
