rivendellroseA lot of things may be wrong with the US right now, but two things give me hope:
1. The campaign against Alito is, if not actually managing anything, at least making a significant stink. Good on Massachusetts. :D
2. As of this morning, the Washington State senate passed a 'gay rights bill' today. According to the Seattle Times, "Opponents warned the legislation [...] would lead to gay marriage and force people to hire gays and lesbians against their religious beliefs."
Sane people the world over reply, "Yes. That's exactly the point."
Oh, and folks may be amused to know that I went to a panel on "Careers in Writing" today, and ended up chatting with a very nice lady who, it turns out, wrote for both The X-Files and Star Trek: The Next Generation. I restrained the desire to fangirl her with much giddiness, and instead praised her commentary about mythology and classic literature like Shakespeare as necessary in the background of any good writer. :D
I'm still trying to figure out which episodes it was.
