in The Great Hashtag Debate of 2009 on odd time signatures
Anyone who feels the need to personally attack a voice or a person with a voice has huge insecurity issues going on. I don't care what forum it happens in. I've seen it before.

Sorry it happened to you, Karoli, especially since you offer a voice of reason.

Karoli It's really okay. It has been an interesting way to really hammer down how I feel about hashtags, track, community, and disruption. All happening in real time. I don't want to dwell that much on the personal aspects of things, because they are what they are. I do confess to wanting an opportunity to speak my mind about my perception of the impact of antagonistic behavior on causes in a venue that's not sitting on someone else's real estate.

I know there are some who say that publishing this post somehow undermines progressives as a group. I disagree. I think it speaks to our strengths as a grass-roots, bottom-up group of diverse people. At the same time, we're imperfect and human. That's all there too.

Karoli! How long do you have to wait for unemployment in California? It's about 2-3 weeks here.

Hope to see you this weekend but if not, there will be other chances!

Beautiful photo. Hang in there!

in Starbucks, I’m breaking up with you on odd time signatures
I totally agree with you about this!
That's why we go to to Thai Lotus Restaurant in south Reno instead of PF Cheng's. Both serve gluten free food but I want the little business to stay open!
I'm stuck with Starbucks because they are the only coffee shop within 5 miles of me that has an indoor area with wifi. :-(
But when I am in downtown Reno, I go to Java Jungle!
Thanks for your thoughtfulness on this subject!

in Squelching the editor on odd time signatures
Wow! I admire your writing talent. Had no idea that The Editor was haunting you!

I know The Editor too. It's funny how she creeps in and takes over. Years ago, I wrote poetry and fictional stories. Then I became a grant writer and worked in city and county planning. My writing talent was spent on dry, explanatory technical pieces.

I let The Editor cut my creative tongue out.

Don't let it happen to you, Karoli! You remain such a breath of fresh air, force of nature and all that good stuff!

When I was a kid, they called these "shot gun" candy. That was in the 60s.

So the handful of Repugs still left in congress are wasting their time 'tweeting' instead of coming up with solutions to our many major problems? I'm so impressed with these losers. Wow.

in Yes on 8 Bus Tour: Impressions at an Exhibition on Bang the Drum
Excellent coverage and information. Wish I lived in California. I'd be voting against taking more rights away from adult human beings who love each other. Those of you with a heart and conscience, vote NO on question 8!

in McCain Shocked at Racism Charge and I’m Not Pt 1 on thepete.com
I can no longer believe I once respected John McCain. I respect him no more. And forever the Republican Party will remain the party of racist for me.

thepete It is awfully surprising, isn't it? I would have voted for the guy in 2000 if he had won the Republican primary. Now he just seems like a madman. Don't really get it.
