Weekly Linkroll (Monday edition)
Yeah, links didn’t happen yesterday. But here they are today. An Open Letter to Jane Doe, the Victim of the Steubenville Rape Case (TriggerWarning) Lucy’s Football made me cry last week. This post is beautiful, and I’m torn between hoping that Jane Doe reads it and that she is staying the hell away from the [...]
Monday Morning Music
It’s Monday one more time and Passover begins this evening. Happy Pesach, everyone who celebrates. Bob Marley seems like a good go-to for today, at least for me. I hope you like it, too. Back later with links, hopefully. Filed under: Monday Morning Music, Music Tagged: Bob Marley, Exodus, holidays, music, passover, video

Women Learn To Be Women – Part 1
This week’s Monday Morning Music post and my conversation with the local radio station’s music director got me to thinking about how a lot of people don’t know about rock bands whose members are all women or majority women. And really, the more I thought about it, thecliché is still true that the majority of [...]

The Persnickety Princess by Falcon Storm – A Review
Lavender hummed a peppy tune while thinking about how she could best put herself into some sort of peril that looked, but wasn’t too, dangerous. At once, she remembered the time last month when the Witch’s cat got itself stuck in a tree. If she could get up a tree, the prince would have no [...]

Monday Morning Music
Okay, that was wierd. Logged into WordPress to find it had been hacked or something. My side of things was all right (and the blog looked fine), but anytime I wanted to look at stats or the reader, I ended up at some sort of spam blog. Which is now gone. Huh. Changed my password. [...]

Another Sunday is well under way. Happy St. Patrick’s Day to everyone who’s into that. I’m still processing the verdict in the Steubenville rape case and wondering at the insanity of the news coverage of it all. Those poor rapists and their ruined lives. The pity party going on for them is just outrageous. Well, [...]

Monday Morning Music
So, last Saturday was Night Out in Northampton day. There was the unmet desire to investigate open crypts, buttered tea, Tibetan dumplings, and meeting new, cool people (well, new to me; they’re not, like, new to the planet or anything [I think.]), and then it was time for church.1 Frank Turner & the Sleeping Souls [...]

Weekly Linkroll
Trying to get back in the swing of things here. Monday Morning Music is already written and scheduled. Now for my favorite links of the week. Well, of the last two weeks, since I skipped last week, and there’s at least one from last week that I want to share. Let’s start with that one, [...]

Words in Progress
So, the Winter of the Novel is almost over. Spring arrives in about a week and a half. Where does the novel stand? Well, I’ve edited the bulk of it and spent a lot of time parsing out what (out of everything I’ve written) belongs in this novel and what belongs in the other. I’ve [...]

International Women’s Day
In honor of the holiday, here’s one of my favorite songs about women by one of my favorite artists. Such great lyrics (“I can cut stone with a pen” is especially neat to me), although I do not get the crocodile thing. Couldn’t find a good video, but the song holds up, I think. What [...]
