Bumper stickers and the Darwin fish have been discussed over on Volokh recently, so when i happened upon this i of course had to send it to him. (And for those not in the fandom-know, the guy in the icon who isn't a painting, is Joss Whedon, brains behind Buffy, Angel, and Firefly.)

Responding to one of my father's comments on the entry, [livejournal.com profile] dherblay writes, "On a different subject, do you mind if I ask how you found this? And, now that you've followed us home, can we keep you?"

*grins*

Posting all this Cate stuff i keep expecting someone to bitch me out for publicly posting personal e-mails. Ever since i found myself thinking that i wished i could just sit down with her and go over the article in detail i have been wondering how this would have gone differently if my LJ were on her friendslist. I wonder if i'm bordering on passive-aggressive or if i'm just moments away from this all blowing up in my face because it's so easy to come across other people's LJs (especially if one reads the smithies friendspage). An obvious answer is to just friendslock the bloody stuff. Proof of how much that isn't on my radar screen i actually had to have someone suggest that to me. I've private-posted twice, but when i'm LJing, friendslock almost never comes into the options list though i have lots of friends who commonly lock entries.

I don't feel like going through all the reasons i don't lock, and no one else really cares, but one of my immediate responses is that then my parents can't read it. (Though of course i can e-mail them.) I forget sometimes how jarring it is to some people's ways of thinking that my parents read this.

I luff the fact that if i were to give my dad a code he would totally be friended by bunches of my peoples (though oviously in a reading and not in a special-filter sense).

In my scant free time i have been reading lots of stuff and wishing i had the time to write about it. Sadness.

I think i may get to do my Sophian piece mostly on what i had wanted to do originally. Though i'm still not entirely sure how to interpret the end of Cate's e-mail, so we shall see what happens after i turn in the article tomorrow.

Britain study on genetics and gayness. UCLA study on genetics and gender identity. Next week (when the column will run) is Trans Awareness Week on campus. [P.S. We're selling copies of the "girls will be boys will be girls will be..." coloring book. Any non-Smithie want a copy?] I'm excited.

I don't think Cate lj's anymore. But really, she's not a monster...opinioned, but not a monster.

Oh i definitely know she's not a monster. Generally i respect and even like her. I just worry sometimes. But i think it will all be okay.

i'm sure she's read your page, as has most of the campus. hell, i did, and i wasn't even looking for it. you post a lot about cate, and i think it's unfortnate that you don't just talk to her. anyone can read this lj, and the way that you almost obsessively post about cate must have reached her by now.

it's doubly unfortunate because she's an excellent person.

I posted about Cate a lot these past few days because i was frustrated by the back-and-forth we were engaging in about whether i could write my column on what i wanted (and before that because i was upset by changes made to my piece in last week's Sophian). Jump back a page, though, and i post almost nothing about her. My column takes up a large chunk of my time and effort, but the posting about it almost never resembles obsessive. Also, i know it doesn't exactly show in this most recent page, but generally i am very happy with my professional relationship with Cate. For the most part i respect her a lot.

This is my online journal, so i use it to bitch in sometimes. Any serious issues i have with Cate i do bring up with her. I allow myself to be petty on this my online journal, and i admit that sometimes i verge on the passive-aggressive.

I really think that if Cate had read this she would have told me so, at least she would have if she had any problems with it.
