Americans for Peace Now has launched a new campaign, “Stop the Violence, Stop the Hatred,” calling on supporters of Israel to condemn the recent rise in hate speech and anti-opposition violence in Israel: We are witnessing a systematic attempt, by the hard-line Israeli right, to delegitimize dissenting voices. Almost every day we see more expressions [...]

The listing of mental groceries.
All right then, yesterday — in a post that got a little whiny for my tastes, but well, I posted it, so we’re moving on now! — I said that I would be taking up my buddy Citizen E on his suggestion to do what I’m calling grocery listing. And so I shall. Und zo: [...]

Clearing the blockage.
Writer’s block – ten tons of fun, or twelve? I don’t know what to write about, and so I find myself doing all manner of things that surround but don’t really approach the actual work. Like: setting up a Twitter account. Like: reading Stephen King’s excellent On Writing (man, I wish I enjoyed the suspense [...]

Resistance is futile.
See that little blue button over on the right? I have been assimilated into the Twitter nation. Never say never, my friends! Never, ever say never. I will be tweeting links to my own posts, and occasional links to other articles or posts that I find interesting or useful. There will be no overshare, and [...]

Israel: Losing the plot, winning the peace?
Turns out it’s been more than a month since I last really blogged about Israel/Palestine. Now, I’ve had some good reasons, ranging from Disney World to dying people, but still. This is supposed to be my (occasional) gig! I think it’s almost a result of an embarrassment of riches. There’s the assassination of Hamas militant Mahmoud [...]

Not…there…yet.
No time, no time, must rush out the door! For fun with friends! Whoo hoo! But before I go, Tim F. over at Balloon Juice reminds us all that – hey, don’t know if you’ve noticed yet? But we still don’t have health care reform. If you haven’t called your Representative or your Senators yet [...]

Obama, unicorn wishes, and me. Side of economic stimulus.
This may sound, or in fact be, lame, but I think that part of why I’ve been in a funk lately is that without realizing it, I did actually sip a wee bit of the hopey-changey Magic Unicorn Koolaid vintage 2008. Ok, some it went down knowingly. I fell a little head over heels with [...]

Q/A – lightning round!
Ah questions. I love questions! My Queenie used to say that there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. And she was a teacher, so she would know. In the hope that my answers will be good ones: Do you respond to comments in your own comment section? No, I don’t, for reasons of my [...]

Ow! My heart!
I was just snuggling with my daughter in her wee bed, and she had been quiet for a minute or two when she says to me: “How many people draw perfect circles?” (Only she still says “puh-fect suh-cles”). I say “Oh, not many.” “Yeah, that’s probably done by machines.” “You know what honey, you really [...]

Me, Christina Hendricks, and writer’s block
I don’t know what to write about, is the honest to God truth. I spent most of last week running around, and yesterday had the kids home for the President’s Day holiday, and while I am somewhat abreast of the news, all of it is just so… exhausting. More of the same. So being creative [...]
