A Sad Day
It’s a sad day for so-called democracy when it is necessary to sign a bill protecting schoolchildren from religious bigotry, but that is essentially what happened in Texas earlier today when Governor Rick Perry signed a new bill into law. The law protects people from prosecution for saying Merry Christmas at Christmas time in public [...]
Feel Good Factor
Who hasn’t heard about Internet abuse, about mobbing, bullying and the singling out of one person to be a target, a victim? Who hasn’t wondered what sort of people are involved, what their mentality can be, why they do such things? For some people it is a daily part of their lives, much the same [...]
Levels Of Religious Abuse
Following an interesting radio discussion last night I learned something new about the Catholic Church and paranoia, amongst other things. It would seem, according to this discussion, that the present Pope had a private conversation with a group of ultra-conservative religious leaders over the possibility that there is a gay conspiracy within the Vatican, and [...]
Giving Due Thanks
Some people are grateful for what they have, others for what they get. Some thank for blessings received, some just take them without a word. And then there are those who stand up on a podium and thank all those who helped them get to where they are today, on a podium. This may well [...]
A Spam Which Fits?
Either someone was very lucky indeed, or they really did read the post they spammed. Or perhaps you feel that the spam doesn’t match the original article and posts? Either way: on my post Upholding God’s Law today: Everyone loves it when folks get together and share ideas. Perhaps if a few more people would [...]
Upholding God’s Law
It’s a well known fact that you can use extracts from the Bible – and most other religious texts – to justify absolutely anything you wish either through a modern interpretation of the text or through a traditional interpretation, depending on which one turns out more to your favor. And you can use extracts from [...]
Inked Beauty
It’s not for me, to be perfectly honest, simply because my tastes change all the time and once I have a tattoo on any part of my body it is there forever. But, I do sometimes appreciate the inked work on other people, not very often – there are many tattoos out there which aren’t [...]
Not The Brightest
I must admit, people on bicycles get on my nerves as much as they do for anyone else, especially when you see them running a red light, cutting off traffic and behaving as any sensible driver wouldn’t. But when you hit one of them, even if they were breaking the law in some way, you [...]
Cosplay: Not For Everyone!
If you don’t know what Cosplay is, then you’re not up to date on things which have been around for several years and really should take a quick glance at the Wikipedia explanation as well as do a search on your favorite search engine for examples. Basically, though, Cosplay is two words strung together: Costume [...]
The Gay Guide to Wedded Bliss
An excellent article in The Atlantic Magazine highlights to benefits heterosexual partners can gain by looking at their homosexual counterparts. Perhaps, for those who are not stuck in a rut and only believe what they have never checked out, there will be a few tips in here on how to improve their own marriages. And [...]
Time For Change
Anyone who has been following me for the last three years (and a few days, I missed my third blogging anniversary on May 12!) will already know where many of my interests have been in the past. I have written much about erotica; about the discovery of myself and my sexuality; about life as a [...]
Hissy Fit?
The life of an author, no matter which genre they might write in, no matter what their print or virtual medium may be, is not an easy one. We all suffer criticism, we all – hopefully – get reviews and a certain amount of attention. How we handle this attention is another matter entirely. Take, [...]
Real Live Nastiness
Apparently Twitter sells books. I know it must be true because someone posted it on Twitter. Leaving aside the snide references about proof of something being true because you read it in the book / publication / whatever being queried: the author John Niven has taken an interesting idea and put it into practice for [...]
Nastiness
Having just amused myself by watching celebrities read some of the Tweets that are aimed at them, and I mean the not so kind ones, I thought I’d quickly clear away what is still lying in my Twitter file. There’s nothing mean here, I guess, but I might just do a search a little later [...]
