In the (m)other tongue. Tuesday, January 8, 2008. The IV pole and the tree in vermont.

In the (m)other tongue. Sunday, May 25, 2008. I have someone's else's coffee mugs in my drainboard. My collection of one deodorant, one bottle of lotion and one cologne has grown into an impressive collection. My spare closet contains Murhpy Brown DVD's, econometrics textbooks and Champ Car caps. I have hair darker than my own in the drain and an extra towel on the hook. Different brands of bread and coffee are in my kitchen. Labels: more on interesting interpersonal relationships. A lesbian and a scholar.

Living as a Prochoice Christian. Monday, November 29, 2010. Supporting Pregnant Teens/ Teen Moms. Pregnant teens or teen moms need support. And no, I am not encouraging teens to have babies. I am always surprised when I come across people who think that supporting pregnant teens/teen moms means encouraging teens to get pregnant. Why is it so difficult for us to understand this difference? Of course, the first issue here is that Teen Pregnancy Is Bad (tm). Lets just educate them to use a condom…. This abo...
