I just learned about the oil spill in San Francisco Bay. My heart is breaking because I lived on the bay for 16 years in a wee houseboat in Sausalito at a low-income housing marina called Galilee Harbor. I was actually cruising in the South Pacific when the Exxon Valdez went aground in Prince William […]
Today is Blog Action Day. The goal is to have bloggers ‘round the world write about ways we can all work together to slow global warming.
Last July, I wrote about 7 Ways Writers Can Help Stop Global Warming. That post generated a ton of comments, many expressing dismay and a sense that we’re more or […]
As long as we’re talking about Banned Books Week it seems appropriate to publish the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people […]
Lorelle Van Possen blogs about WordPress, the free blogging software client used by many top bloggers. (and a good place to find blogs of interest).
She’s got a nifty article on the legal rights of bloggers with lots of good links. My favorite is to the Electric Freedom Foundation’s article Legal Guide for Bloggers. The EEF […]
I started Thom Hartman’s The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight last night. Subtitled The Fate of the World And What We Can Do About It Before It’s To Late, I had to start with the final third of the book because I’m just to aware of the problems and wanted to read about solutions. I […]
For the last 19 years, National Public Radio has read out loud The Declaration of Independence. I always get shivers hearing it.
This year, with our Constitution under attack from within, it seems even more important. For the second year, here is the print version. Read it out loud to yourself, to your family, with friends. […]
On April 18th I posted the possibility of a silent vigil sparked by OneDayBlogSilence.com. After some agonizing I’ve decided not to be totally silent - it seemed to me that if I were going to be silent here I also needed to be silent in the rest of my life for the day, which simply […]
Google news has almost 70 stories listed with headlines like “Massacre fallout: Charges for essay” and “High school senior charged after writing ‘disturbing’ essay.”
You can read the details but as I understand the story, a senior high school class in northern Illinois was assigned to write an essay that, among other things, was to […]
We’re all struggling with the events shootings at Virginia Tech Monday. One approach has been a call for a silent vigil in the blogosphere Monday, April 30. Lorelle VanFossen announced the move and followed up with a moving account of her experience in Israel.
Among freelance writers there is some sense and a lot of confusion […]
This is tricky… there’s a fairly well known blogger who has gotten death threats in her comments… very ugly. As I read through first her post about it and then some of her follow-up I gather that the more bloggers protest and point to her the more threats she’s getting… so I won’t.
But death […]
