Hey all -
I was complaining to my friend Erik today that reddit [EP: For those who don't know reddit, it's a site where people share interesting links] didn’t seem to like clothed, vocal [...]

What I’m doing
04Feb08I posted recently about how my blog seems to tend towards the negative. This is one of the reasons why my parents are continually worried about my happiness, despite the fact that I think I’m as happy or happier than I’ve ever been. I’ve also talked with my mom about how she doesn’t really get [...]

30Jan08Jane: what’s been up with your sad twitters and blog posts?
Me: i don’t know, sometimes it just seems like the most noteworthy things that happen to me are sad :)
Me: my life is overwhelmingly happy. if I wrote about all the good stuff it’d get boring.
Coverage
29Nov07Some recent press/blogging about Forkolator:
Sandy Armstrong, a maintainer of the Tomboy note-taking app who I met at BarCamp San Diego, wrote up his response to the project.
That post showed up on Planet Gnome, prompting Colin Walters, who is a Red Hat developer working on Gnome Online Desktop to add his thoughts.
At which point the article [...]
The limits of poor writing
15Jul07I just reread the post I wrote about privilege checklists yesterday. When I wrote it I was rushing out the door to get crepes with Camille (in honor of Bastille Day!) and I just didn’t have the time to properly edit it. Hell, I didn’t have the time to properly write it in [...]
Men in the shadows
05Jul07I just read this intense story on feh-muh-nist. I thought it was powerfully written, and started to write a comment saying how I thought it was powerful and beautiful, but I stopped myself. There were already several insightful and supportive comments from women and transmen, and I decided it’d be better not to [...]
Sneaky spammers
18Jun07I just got a comment on a post I wrote a while back:
This is exactly what I expected to find out after reading the title Who is this thing for?. Thanks for informative article
At first I was like “aww, someone liked my post, how precious!” But the suspicion followed pretty quickly, and I started [...]
Morning bell, release me
28May07Anxiety creeps up on me. I start reaching for comfortable things. I sit down amongst the web pages and browse. Someone is making homemade pizza. Someone is having friends over to sit around couches with their laptops and work on pet projects. Someone is going out dancing, flirting, kissing. [...]
Choice and responsibility
25Apr07Today I found my friend Emilie’s amazing blog, The Conscious Kitchen. Seriously, amazing. Everything looks delicious, and lots of fun stories about food experiences.
One of Emilie’s creations. Is this even legal in the state of Massachussettes?
Her post from Monday, Simple Pleasures and Guilt, really resonated with my recent food experiences. She [...]
Standing up for yourself
21Feb07I just wrote a long entry I really want to share. But I don’t feel like I can. Because I can’t handle the thought of one particular person judging me.
It sucks.
I generally feel confident about who I am, but it’s amazing how one person can unnerve you. I hope I’m getting stronger, [...]
