Not Okay, Not Okay, NOT OKAY

Not me- I'm coping.

I'm also furious.

I have, until recently, *really* enjoyed Dan Savage's column, podcast, and books. I've *bought* Dan's books, for heaven's sake.

And now this.

Can't handle it. I've listened to the podcasts in which he uses words like that, and I've always let it go as heat of the moment, doesn't know any better.

But another reader did what I didn't- Stepped forward, tried to educate, and was instead, mocked.

I can't support that anymore. I can't excuse that anymore. Maybe I should never have done.

I'm sorry I ever recommended him to anyone, I'm sorry I ever read his books, bought his books, listened to his podcast.

This is his fanpage on Facebook where I intend to voice my displeasure and then leave.

This is NOT okay. Not by me.

*taptaptap*

Even though I feel so afraid and stupid right now, I'm still a really great gal...

Even though I feel so afraid and stupid right now, there will be brighter days ahead

Even though school isn't going so well right now, I have lots of other things to contribute to the world...


Oooooooh boy, I try not to post on Blogger unless I have something positive to say or funny to share. I don't. I'm done in...

Good choices?

Have been compliant on my new meds for over 2 weeks now- This is absolutely new for me... and as I do not like change, I'm having a little bit of difficulty with it. Weekends are probably most difficult, and I sulk once the purple thing is in my system... but at least it gets there.

Am getting ready for exams and break and gainful employment and for the parents (please God) to find a good deal on a Southern vacation and GO there...!

Anyway, just a brief update

Light, love and energy
