Mojourner Truth: Cavalier Attitudes Redux
http://mojourner.blogspot.com/2014/12/cavalier-attitudes-redux.html
Does the word that just popped into your head show up here? 07 December, 2014. A few days ago, I posted about the cavalier attitude towards rape at UVA frats and their breathern elsewhere. I was among the thousands of bloggers and hundreds of news media outlets that picked up on the story. Now, it turns out that the Rolling Stone. Article that triggered the uproar itself took a cavalier attitude with the truth and verification. By reporters at the Washington Post. Nonetheless, fratboys and their supporte...

Mojourner Truth: NPR Edited my 15 Seconds of Fame
http://mojourner.blogspot.com/2013/03/npr-edited-my-15-seconds-of-fame.html
Does the word that just popped into your head show up here? 07 March, 2013. NPR Edited my 15 Seconds of Fame. You edit me, I'll edit you. Irked by an All Things Considered. Story touting a new record on the stock market, I posted about the Dow Jones Industrial Average and it's faults. NPR, of course, fell in line and had their Planet Money guy do a related story the next day. So I wrote 'em a letter, congratulating them on the second story and calling them to task on the first. Or actually, just blah....

http://mojourner.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-hipster-effect-and-other-models.html
Does the word that just popped into your head show up here? 11 November, 2014. The Hipster Effect and other Models. Image by Getty, Fair Use by This Guy's Nephew. A mathematician recently posted an article ( available at arXiv. This guy read the Hipster Effect article before I did, and was already appearing in blogposts about it days ago. And yet, I exhibit signs of being a hipster. I'm in phase with them as far as clunky black glasses, facial hair, brewing ale with hops I grew, and so on. As I w...Were ...

Mojourner Truth: Guns at the Capitol
http://mojourner.blogspot.com/2015/02/guns-at-capitol.html
Does the word that just popped into your head show up here? 08 February, 2015. Guns at the Capitol. Some guy from Alabama running his mouth on the Washington State Capitol steps. This past Saturday, our local paper reports. And it really pisses off a few people. Maybe the dude in the colonial outfit worries he'll be deemed as crazy as he looks. Maybe the guys covered head to foot in "tactical" paramilitary costumes genuinely believe that a background check is tantamount to tyranny. But of course, it wasn...

Does the word that just popped into your head show up here? 16 April, 2012. Something in the Air (KAOS). It's that time again. After months of soggy-slumber lumbering through the dark, the days are long,. Procession of the Species is nearly here,. And plants are pumping out blooms and pollen, putting Spring in the air. You listen. You know no other station will carry this much commercial-free broadcasting, this much world music, this much native programming. But do you contribute? The KAOSticians on and ...

Mojourner Truth: How I Lost My Hearing
http://mojourner.blogspot.com/2014/11/how-i-lost-my-hearing.html
Does the word that just popped into your head show up here? 16 November, 2014. How I Lost My Hearing. That's me in the striped shirt, appropriated from grand-dad 30 years before McLemore made it cool to do that. So yeah, I was a punk. Back in the early to mid-1980s. Then the migraines got too intense, or I fell in with some deadheads, or I got married to a non-punk, or I just didn't have the time and money to goto punk shows anymore. Being a punk also made me deaf to sounds. Mom may not have been rig...

Mojourner Truth: Admint Calendar
http://mojourner.blogspot.com/2014/12/admint-calendar.html
Does the word that just popped into your head show up here? 07 December, 2014. So crazy it just might work. Being both a mint junkie and a anti-garbage saver of containers, I have on hand a bag full of little plastic disks that once contained mints. I've used some now and then for seeds, but consumption has out-paced re-use for a while now. This fall, however, inspiration struck my younger daughter and I, and we vowed to invent the Admint Calendar. So, there you have it. The Admint Calendar. The ...Subsc...

http://mojourner.blogspot.com/2011/12/card-carrying-member-of-kaos.html
Does the word that just popped into your head show up here? 17 December, 2011. Card Carrying Member of KAOS. I written about radio. Not free, though. Which is why I am a member at KAOS, Olympia community radio. Because it's not just that the call letters are hands down the best in the nation (sorry, KBOO), or the discounts kicked back at me from local bidnesses- I really do want to make sure community radio stays on the air. And I cannot count the number of times I've cooked dinner listening happily to V...

Mojourner Truth: Re-emerged
http://mojourner.blogspot.com/2015/01/re-emerged.html
Does the word that just popped into your head show up here? 02 January, 2015. First there is a building, then there is no building, then there is. Donovan (If he'd been an archaeologist). I don't have to get metaphorical or writerly about it, because the language is right there. Men seeking minerals and timber experience boom and bust; only to someone with a drawn out sense of time does it look like an ebb and flow. Discover gold, and there's a Rush. Hidden in the forest was a lumber mill. Subscribe to: ...
