Jiao Raizel? [09 Feb 2009|08:28am] bipagan I'm hoping someone here may have an answer to a question that has been bothering me for a while. How do you pronounce Jiao Raizel? I know Jiao is Chinese and Raizel is Yiddish. I think Jiao is Jee-ow? I gather that Raizel is pronounced Ray-zel. 11 comments|post comment

Who wants to be Mo? [28 Jul 2008|04:16pm] neo_mo Okay, so maybe no one wants to be Mo -- it's tough being this neurotic. But if you identify with Mo and you would like this here lj name, let me know. I will delete all of my entries and give you my lj. 1 comment|post comment

It's over? Already? [13 May 2008|10:04pm] mercyb Hi, I'm a long time reader of DTWOF and recent follower of AB's blog (and even more recently a member of this LJ community). And I'm quite sad that I'm getting on board with fans here just in time for Alison's sabbatical. Did I say 'quite sad'? I meant REALLY freakin' sad. 8 comments|post comment

"Fun Home" protested in Utah [28 Mar 2008|12:38pm] mr_sadhead Utah prudes terrified of cartoon cunnilingus A book being used in an English class at the University of Utah is generating controversy ... The issue is with "Fun Home," a book assigned for reading in a mid-level English class at the University of Utah. The class introduces students to different literary genres. In the case of "Fun Home," it's told in the style of a comic book. The story centers around the author as she comes to terms with her own and her father's homosexuality. Drawings depicting sex acts are included in the 230 page novel. A student in the class was offended and approached the group "No More Pornography," which made headlines earlier this year when it staged a successful protest of music videos shown a gym in Provo. The group has started an online petition in protest of the book. 4 comments|post comment

content strike [20 Mar 2008|11:52pm] miriamjoyce I'll be observing (just barely with this post) the content strike from midnight to midnight 3/21 in protest of LJ's new owner's anti-user policies. The reason LJ works (as with so many other apps like this) is the critical mass of content and connections from  free/basic accounts makes it worth it for us paid users to be here. I also suggest that during 3/21 we don't look at our friends pages or any other LJ page to try to drive traffic down over all. Temporarily disable your links to your blogs even if you have the time to do so. I will keep an eye on this. I know one group I'm a part of that's leaving LJ over it, and I won't rule it out, though that would be a royal pain in my ass. 8 comments|post comment

found and lost [29 Feb 2008|04:22pm] se_offendendo [ mood | sad ] Is it really only a few years since Toni's SSRI haircut, and she and Clarice's twentieth anniversary? They would be, what, 25+ now, if they were still together. "Sometimes lately it's hard to remember who I fell in love with." "This planet could be a #@*ing paradise, and we're making it into a living hell." ...thanks. You just reminded me of something. 3 comments|post comment
