Let’s get pissed

nobody@vox.com(Jack Yan) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 03:20:49 -0800

Time elapsed for the compose window to load: four hours. I have just started another Vox account and the compose window comes up instantly (I will not blog from there as I refuse to use noms de plume). Someone at Vox does not want me blogging. ...

Merge

I'm not a Luddite, nor am I fond of ludditic kinds of extremism... I do embrace the wonders of new invention, technology, new medicine, our generation, right now. I think it is important to be in touch with where the world is heading and not drown...

Filigree

nobody@vox.com(Charmagne Coe) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:32:12 -0800

Memories and floating and wishing and feeling all sorts of oceanic. An idea that I'm toying with. It's toying with me, actually. Ink. Tra-la-la.

Jane Doe's Suicide Post

nobody@vox.com(Susan Ee) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:42:59 -0800

For the first time, I have heavily censored a post. I am strongly pro-1st Amendment, and it doesn't sit right with me to do this. But there is no resolution of this situation that is going to make anyone feel better, so I have decided to respect...

A Friend's Suicide

nobody@vox.com(Susan Ee) — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:44:09 -0700

I stopped posting to my blog when something shocking and personal happened, and I didn't know whether it was right to post it for the world to read or not. On the one hand, a woman cutting herself off from her friends and committing suicide in a ...

Halfway to a manuscript

nobody@vox.com(Susan Ee) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 13:03:20 -0800

Character D-Fex: An Un-Poem of Love & Acceptance

nobody@vox.com(Scoobywings) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:14:50 -0700

I am tired of character deffects. Tired of lugging them around like a recovery badge of honor. Can't I just be human? Human with faults, in acceptance of them. Not trying to remove them all. Not asking anyone or anyTHING to take them from me. Jus...

Into The Great Wide Open

nobody@vox.com(Scoobywings) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:37:54 -0700

So, here I am...single. I can't recall ever being single before. I think I came out the womb with a ring on. When I was two and on vacation with the fam in Hawaii, I met a boy on the beach and latched onto to him like calf to teet. Back in Seattl...
