pipistrellafelixI am still shocked, & alternating among a sort of nauseated despair, ridiculous hilarity, & fuck-you-I'll-do-my-own-thing-&-better determination.
I am not, however, so knocked off kilter that I didn't go back & change "between" to the grammatically correct "among" in that first sentence, so, you know, there's hope for me yet. ...or possibly none at all, depending on your view of the importance of grammar. :)
In any case, I am currently finishing up the last Broadway Hour show of the quarter, & since that means I've been surfing the interwebs for the last two hours, have some links:
Racism is Over. This is a blog. It is hilarious, satirical, & perfect. Go look!
Ann Friedman tell us why the gay rights movement needs to stop calling it a culture war & start framing it as a civil rights debate. As far as I can see, many people already are, but I guess it's still a good point--culture wars are full of personal attacks & vitriol & the ability to push your culture on someone else. Demanding civil rights can still garner you hatred & vitriol, but no one has to like you, just, y'know, give you equal civil rights.
On the note of gay rights, Prop 8: The Musical. Awesome.
God, I love Neil Patrick Harris. I want to be his friend.
