Across U.S., Big Rallies for Same-Sex Marriage - NYTimes.com

"In Las Vegas, the comedian Wanda Sykes surprised a crowd of more than 1,000 rallying outside a gay community center by announcing that she is gay and had wed her wife in California on Oct. 25. Ms. Sykes, who divorced her husband of seven years in 1998, had never publicly discussed her sexual orientation but said the passage of Proposition 8 had propelled her to be open about it. “I felt like I was being attacked, personally attacked — our community was attacked,” she told the crowd." - Cecily via Bookmarklet
This makes me ridiculously happy. We need MORE African-American LGBT folks to stand up and come out. Yay, Wanda! - Cecily
Liked because I'm tired of too many people assuming that most black people are anti-gay. Might need to start a Straight blacks for gay rights room or something. - Kamilah Gill

Yeah, I've noted this new look on a number of local high school students. It's sort of a cross between 80s skinny jeans and the hiphop boxer-peeks. totally unflattering - the opposite of sexy. - V for Veselka

I always saw it that they didn't have an ass to keep the pants up, and they refuse to wear a belt to help the process. They're like, emo gangsta. - ::Kristen::
by the way, this "look" started in brooklyn, ny with the cross-pollination of hipsters moving into once-predominantly minority neighbourhoods - Cee Bee
Yep. This is how you do it now. You could show them pics all day, but they must have already seen someone else do it and knowingly copied the look...lol - ♫ Rahsheen™
I remember when I was in junior high, the look was in where the guys wore suspenders, but hanging down behind them. My (tiny and ancient) geometry teacher used to ask the guys if the needed help holding their cheeks up. Cracked us all up. - Ladybug Heather
Emo gangsta was the firs thing I thought of when I saw him. I've been over the emo look for 5 years now, hell I was over in '86 when it was the metalheads who dressed like that. But this crossover with hip-hop is so jarringly stupid. A simple case of two wrongs don't make a right. - Anika Malone

You say true, Sir. - ♫ Rahsheen™
I agree...and that begs the question...why is it still ok to call women a bitch? Seems like words that have been used to oppress a group of people often become a permanent part of our language landscape. - Jean Ann Van Krevelen via twhirl
Who said it was ok to call women bitches? - ♫ Rahsheen™
Jean Ann, do you mean amongst women? - Shevonne Polastre
yes, I do - Jean Ann Van Krevelen via twhirl
I know that I am guilty of saying things like that from time to time. Sorry Derrick and Jean Ann! - Shevonne Polastre
Agreed, Derrick. It seems these days, I hear it more from younger kids (high school, etc.) than from adults. At least, I don't hear it so much from adults I'm around? - Rochelle
And society says it is ok to call women bitches...think about this...when a women gets too assertive or doesn't mind her manners, what's the first thing she is called? A bitch. Not every single person does this, but our society sanctions it...how many times has Martha Stewart or Hillary Clinton been called a bitch? I am guessing quite a lot. It is a word that has been used to keep women in their place...and it is still used that way. - Jean Ann Van Krevelen via twhirl
Well, with all oppressive language, the group it is used against has the choice to reclaim it...to use it as a badge. And, yes, there are plenty of adults in the working world who call women by this name - Jean Ann Van Krevelen via twhirl
flag on the play; flagrant misuse of the phrase 'begs the question'. 10 yard penalty. [tweet] - Anika Malone
And yes, I have tirelessly advocated against the term "that's gay" since the first time I heard it in probably '93. I was so taken aback, that I used their race as the adjective for "lameness". When I do that, people realize how stupid they sound, but there are a lot of people out there who still insist they aren't being harmful. - Anika Malone
I stated this a long time ago myself, Derrick. It's as if people won't bother to get what it means, anymore. - Helen Sventitsky
This is one of my huge pet peeves as well. I am a gamer/geek, and back in the late nineties when just about everyone I knew worked for Cisco, we would have big lan parties there, and that was when I started really hearing it. I would get on my friend's cases about it, and they would always seem so flabbergasted. Then I would say "Am I your friend?" and they would say "Of course" and I would say "I have probably been with more guys than your girlfriend. Is it still funny?" That shut them up (for awhile). - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
I used to be most vociferous about this very issue, but you know what? I'm kinda immune to it now - even said it myself on occasion. I think it's reached the point where "gay" in that context no longer means homosexual. Words shift their meanings over time. - Slippy Lane
Also...yo, where my byatches at? (sorry, had to, lol) - Slippy Lane
@Slippy, as evidenced by the fact that gay originally meant 'happy and festive'... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
@Slippy That's just not how such language works. It is used to reinforce norms and exclude; that's the whole point. Do you think people just chose the word randomly? It was chosen for exactly this reason, reinforces homophobia and stigmatization, and the biggest issue is that it is a word for a group of people and it is being used as a synonym for lame and stupid, thus saying those people are lame and stupid. - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
What if the whole world decided, en masse, to start using the word "American" as a synonym for fat, lazy, ignorant rednecks. You hear it constantly online and in popular culture, and when you call foul or say it is offensive, people just say "Oh, it doesn't mean natives of America in *this* context, you are just being too sensitive". Should we just say "Oh, words shift their meanings" or call it for what it is...offensive and attacking? - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
dude, don't be so 'merican.. - Gregory Lent
Neal, you can be offended on my behalf if you like, but don't feel it necessary. I'm gay (when I'm between women, anyway, lol), and I'm not offended by the use of the term "that's gay" in a derogatory way. As was previously mentioned, most of the youngsters using it aren't even aware that it's the same word. - Slippy Lane
@Neal You mean they aren't doing that now? Are you sure? - Ben Jackson via twhirl
Also, yes TIna, exactly, and as Jean Ann suggests, if we take ownership of the term, refuse to be insulted by it, there ceases to be a problem. - Slippy Lane
@Slippy: that's pretty much what's happened with the term 'queer', don't you think? Queer = strange, odd, or out of the normal but seems to have been readily adopted as a non-derogatory identifier (and yes, I'm aware it took a while). - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
@Slippy Technically, among gamers it isn't the same word (usually written ghey). This isn't about getting offended, really, this is about not allowing what should be offensive to become institutionalized. - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
Let's try a different analogy...what about the word "gyp" or "jew" being used as a synonym for cheating people on a deal? I am not Romani or Jewish, don't give two figs for either as a culture (I don't know any Romani, and find religiously designated races an obsolete concept), it doesn't offend me, but I still think it is wrong to use language to reinforce prejudice. It doesn't matter if they don't know why they say it...most people don't recognize their own institutionally reinforced prejudices. - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
Why use an analogy at all? Why not just accept that it's not that offensive? - Slippy Lane
That's your argument? I make points, all premise/premise/conclusion like, and you just say "Why not just agree with me?" I don't agree because I think it is pretty damn offensive, and I have argued as to why in multiple ways. Your main argument seems to be "It doesn't offend me, therefore it isn't offensive", an argument I find unpersuasive. - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
In the end, there's not much we can do about how others use and employ language, no matter how offended we might be by specific usages. My best straight drinking buddy calls me fag whenever he sees me and I understand it's full of affection, and respect even. (He'll be the first one to tell you than he'd be nowhere without his gay male mentors.) Any attempt to regulate instances when it's not is likely a waste of time and energy. Don't sweat the small stuff. - Rick Powell
Calling stuff gay and someone actually being gay are two separate things to me. I know the former is wrong, but I don't automatically make that connection. Also, I refer to men and women alike as "bitches" if I get mad, but I wouldn't actually call a woman a bitch to her face. That's just wrong. - ♫ Rahsheen™
But just because some people have decided it isn't offensive doesn't make it not offensive. It's not an argument. There is no argument. - Secret Squirrel
Because, Neal, I think there are far greater injustices in the world to spend one's energy on, therefore I find your argument irrelevant. You can criticise me all you like, but when all's said and done, who are YOU to say whether a phrase or term "should be regarded as offensive"? I hold that my argument is valid, that if no offense is specifically intended then none should be taken. That's all. I don't know how else to say it, it's really not that big of a deal, and the general consensus seems 2 b with me - Slippy Lane
Hmmm, reading back over my last comment, it doesn't seem to make much sense. I must be tired of arguing with you over this non-issue. :-) - Slippy Lane
er, but what if you say "that's gay" to refer to something that's wholly appropriate for 13-year-old girls, but not for grown a** men, unless said men are gay? i'm thinking glitter, lame, and rhinestones here. (and that's 'lah-may' as in the fabric. not 'layme') - tiffany
Funny how no one mentions the elephant in the room, the word so scary that people who curse like sailors will still say "The N-word" in hushed tones, or write it with an asterisk in place of the "i". What makes the outlawing (essentially) of that word NOT "sweating the small stuff"? - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
Because, dear Neal, that's NOT what we're talking about. You can't say "X" is offensive therefore "Y" must be offensive too. Culturally and historically they are VERY different concepts. - Slippy Lane
I don't understand how racist epithets became the elephant in the room? - Rick Powell
More than anything, its a respect issue, no? Whether it's someone's sexual orientation, race, or gender, we all should be respected and respectful, no? - Derrick
Then context is the final arbiter. There would be no Spike Lee movies, Jean Genet novels or Lenny Bruce routines without these words that offend people. I, for one, would not want to live without Do The Right Thing, or Our Lady of the Flowers, or any number of other works of art that use language in ways that might offend someone. Compared to that, do I really care what words some 15 year old twat uses when he's trying to put down his mates? Let his parents discipline him. I don't have the time. - Rick Powell
Here, here, Rick. I am grateful for your thoughts on the thread. (and LOL at twat) - Derrick
@Rick OK, now that is a good point. @Slippy I am not criticizing you, it's called debate, I put forth an opinion, argue for it, you put forth yours, argue for it. Not meant to be personal, supposed to be about the positions and arguments. - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
I think of it this way: I want control over the effects of my words. Sometimes I want to hurt someone, but usually I don't. So I choose words to match the effect I want, and since I know that "that's gay" hurts many gay people (and many of their friends) I choose other words instead. - Deborah Fitchett
@Deborah That's a lovely human thing to say and it's really just that simple. - Rick Powell
Deborah +5 :) - Neal "thePuck" Jansons

Pecans rule. I didn't know this: "Pecans were one of the most recently domesticated major crops. Although wild pecans were well-known among the colonial Americans as a delicacy, the commercial growing of pecans in the United States did not begin until the 1880s. Today, the U.S. produces between 80% and 95% of the world's pecans, with an annual crop of 150–200 thousand tons." - Ginger Makela via Bookmarklet

Alebrijes are carved wooden figures created by Oaxacan artisans. They have become so popular that even the world’s most respected Spanish language authority, the La Real Academia de la Lengua Española, Spanish Royal Academy, has included the term “Alebrijes” in its official Spanish language dictionary. The term “Alebrijes” originated from the name that Mr. Pedro Linares, of Mexico City, gave to his fantastic creations of paper maché; which are internationally recognized. Most Oaxacan artisans simply call them figuras "wooden figures", naming them after the animal which they carved, such as the deer, raccoon, leopard, etc., but when a fantastic figure is elaborated, the artisan is compelled to say he has created an "alebrije." - Cee Bee via Bookmarklet

I am so very glad I don't worship this man's god. If that's really how god is, then screw him, he doesn't deserve my worship.

We know that stocks can be very volatile. We also know that some generations have been luckier than others when it comes to the performance of the stock market. The baby boomer who started regular purchases of U.S. stocks in 1970 and sold in 2000 would have felt pretty sick after the awful bear market of 1974, but in retrospect, his timing would have been perfect, filling his pockets with bargain late-1970s and early-1980s shares and selling out right at the top. His daughter, entering the stock market in 1995 and aiming to retire in 2025, would have spent the past 13 years buying shares at prices that now seem to range from high to extortionate. We could call this "generational risk." - clarke thomas via Bookmarklet
