my lungs had a rough weekend

I like them - the shakes that steal inevitably over me after taking my inhaler. Those quietly reassuring shivers that tell me, at least for a while, that I won't have to gasp for air anymore.

being bi...or pan...or queer

I'm going to stop referring to myself as 'bisexual' when I can, I think. Some people think that 'bisexual' seems to support the gender binary, and I tend to agree. I don't know what to go to as a replacement, though. I like 'queer' better than 'pansexual,' although both are less well known than 'bisexual.' 'Queer' tends to invite, "Oh, so you're gay then," while 'pansexual' elicits confusion. Among most people I know, anyway.

Which is why I'm probably going to stick to 'bisexual' in conversation with people I'd rather not get into a giant discussion of sexual orientation/gender with, though.

thank you, tea party. you bring us so many things

This is a link to a list of "non-essential" programs that were cut in Washington so as to balance the budget. You know, things like adult dental care and access to psychotropic meds. Thank God the income tax didn't pass though, right? Then we REALLY woulda been fucked!

"There's one thing the religious right does want to protect children from: f-bombs. F-bombs and access to affordable health care. Because their priorities are, in a word, fucked."
