Six Years
I wish I did not have to write this. It pains me to see
how little coverage the war commands, six years in. Last year,
I spoke to David Ledesma about his experience protesting the
war every weekend for five years and counter-recruiting. This year,
I wanted to call attention to/…

First Baby Blue Eyes...
Like most of the other gardeners in California,
I'm worried about the water. We've nearly caught up this year,
and I can tell the difference in the way the trees have flowered.
Still, the reservoirs have not managed to capture much, so parched
was the ground. So, I'm glad to say/…

You're Never Too Young to be a Raging Granny
I don't even have any kids, but they took me in anyway. They dress
me up and Ruth always brings extra hats to deputize the hatless. In
a way, they remind me of my real grandmother (The hats! The
feathers! The flowers!), but then they'll start singing about
equality or Roe…

My Marriage, My Responsibility
Tomorrow,
the Supreme Court in San Francisco will hear oral arguments
regarding the legality of Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment
which bars the state from recognizing gay marriages.
That is why I will be at the
vigil tonight at Embarcadero and El Camino. My marriage is my
responsibility and n… Read full post »

Now I Know Why I Hesitated By the Ham Hocks Monday...
My Mardi
Gras sense was tingling! And I should really apologize to all
the people to whom I promised a Presidents'
Day party. I have to confess, I thought Presidents Day was in
January. When I realized it was the same weekend as Valentine's
Day, I figured trying to compete was…

Back in the Saddle Again
I told you LA looked just like Texas, didn't I?
It was fun to make the rounds. We flew into DFW last week and it was amazing to see some of the changes since I'd last been. This was very hard to photograph on the escalator at the ai
rport.

Elegant Sufficiency
That is what my grandmother wants us to say instead of "enough".
Apparently when she was growing up, a teacher or relative taught
her to say "I've had an elegant sufficiency" at the ends of meals.
And while I cannot say that I have actually adopted this habit, I
do nonetheless…

Cold Feet and Warm Hearts
I always feel like a weenie when I complain about the cold here in
California. I'm from
Texas dammit... chunks of ice used to fall from the sky in spring,
for crying out loud. We had an ice storm the day my parents had to
take me back for second semester…

rewards of conservation II
i've decided to make this a series. these posts are for the moments
when i forget how lucky i am, so i can remind myself. especially
times like now, when i'm struggling through a cold and beating
myself up about holiday traditions i'm allowing to fall by the
wayside. i wish…

Thank you, Veterans
I was fortunate enough to be born in a country where I
can:choose my own husband
pursue unlikely careers
apply for loans to go back to school
imitate presidential candidates
Unfortunately, this is the same country where our veterans are sentenced to live on the street, selling books of poetry for/…

they took all the love out of my revolution
I was so excited about everything tuesday afternoon. I was one of
those lucky people who had armed themselves with coffee and snacks
for the polls, only to have no line to wait in. It was a beautiful
day and I found a really easy (and fantastic!) carnitas recipe. I'm
not…

Tired of Palin' in Comparison
Like every other man, woman, child and dog in this country, I dressed up like Sarah Palin for Halloween. Actually, I have a multitude of sins as I've been dressing up like Sarah Palin for the past month. And of course I wasn't alone.
I am particularly proud of 10/22/08.
But on Thursday,/…

Shock Doctorin'
On Thursday, Naomi Klein spoke at Stanford, hosted by the Aurora
Forum. Her whole presentation will be aired Thursday, October 30th
on KQED.

Blog Action Day: The Real Politics of Poverty
Today, in honor of blogs against poverty, I'm revisiting Kiva. You
might have seen my
introduction to microlending a year or so ago, and I thought
I'd take the opportunity to talk about how the site I like has
grown.
First, I really appreciate the way Kiva has evolved. They have a…

you're welcome, matt
i don't make resolutions;
i adopt new habits. somehow, that seems less final and more
forgiving. habits are hard to break, whereas resolutions are broken
all the time.
habits are hard initially, but after a while, they are scribed
into your life and you tend to forget you even do them.i/…
