It Gets Better

The message of the Trevor Project is 'Hang in there.  It gets better.'  This message is designed to keep LGBT teenagers alive until they discover that life is, indeed, worth living.

Or Longer Days Are Here

And so the twice yearly confusion sets in.  What time is it, anyway.  Are we an hour earlier or an hour later than we were this time yesterday.  Also, why do we do this twice yearly thing with the time.  There will still be approximately twenty-four hours in each day except for those long days at work when there are actually twenty-six hours and then, of course, the extra hours are then deducted from weekend off work time or vacations when we're relaxed and happy and then suddenly look at the clock/calendar and say how did the time go so fast.
Now we know how it goes so fast.

Long Days Are Coming

While I usually agree with those of you who've said you can't wait until the boy has a facebook page of his own (during breakfast, listening to "Horse With No Name" on the radio, he said, "That seems like a pretty easy problem to fix."), we have to be careful what we wish for. Having watched "Crocodile Dundee" for the first time last night, for the last 30 minutes he's been wandering around the house, pointing to random objects and declaring, "That's not a knife." It's gonna be a long day.

If you've built at least a portion of your professional reputation on being "that funny guy from downstairs," and you step into the elevator, see that one of the judges is holding food from the cafe and ask, "Did you bring enough for everyone?" Make sure you haven't accidentally given him an opportunity to ask, "Did you know your fly is down?" Because, man, nobody's even going to remember your joke. - by Michael Walker

Privacy Changes, Too

A decade ago, on the rare occasion that I might see the phrase "We've changed our privacy policy," I would dissect that document with a magnifying glass, a highlighter, and a pile of sticky notes. However, I've noticed that when I see the same phrase these days, I just shrug and assume they already have pictures of me hanging in their bathroom stalls. - by Michael Walker

Don't Forget The Coat Hangers

As the men brokering their power positions forge ahead in the quest to remove all reproductive rights from women they need to remember the coat hangers.  When all contraceptive devices are no longer accessible to women and when abortion has returned to the back alley butcher shops they will surely remember to make the purchase and/or use of coat hangers illegal.
