It’s hard for LGBTQ people to talk about religion, or even to interact with religion, because most of us have been victimized by religious zealots of one sort or another. Bigots have conveniently cherry-picked verses from holy books to tell us we’re abominations and deny us basic human dignity. As far as I’m concerned, if […]
This video crawled into my Facebook feed today and it felt like a good fit with NaBloPoMo. Arthur’s energy came not just from the yoga he practiced, but from the people who believed in him.

Wednesday, January 23, 2013 What is the most creative way you conserve energy in your home? The uncreative parts of conservation involve changing our habits and following “best practices: Set the thermostat and do not “adjust” except in cases of true sickness. Because I work from home, we have two settings: 68 during the day/evening […]
What is your biggest concern about the future of the environment? My biggest concern is the fact that people ignore science. They don’t like the facts so they simply ignore them. This is a common human response to things we don’t want to hear or deal with – denial. But it is very powerful. Realistically, […]
