Via a circuitous route, I came across a blog post that made me think: http://sourduck.blogspot.com/2005/10/feminist-blog-community-and-anger.html

It has taken me a lot of courage to admit to not being 100% of good health in such a public place. I was so pleased with myself. On reading this, though, I realised that I am silent about a whole bunch of other issues because it is too hard to talk about them here. Not because I can't talk about them, but because I can't talk about them without getting wildly emotional. Am I guilty of silencing myself because I am a feminist who is scared of arguing from an angry place in a public forum?

Someone decided to brighten my day by blogging how tenth grade students respond to learning Pyle's Robin Hood. Rather cool teaching and rather funny results. I am tempted to apply the tenth grade rules of medieval-sounding language to certain less-than-wonderful authors I have come across and see if they do (as I suspect) add 'eth' to all sorts of things to make speech sound archaic. http://www.livejournal.com/users/sartorias/116880.html
