The Constancy of Change: October 2009
http://theconstancyofchange.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
The Constancy of Change. Sunday, October 11, 2009. If Only It Were Just Blindness. So a friend sent me a message on facebook today. He told me he'd seen some special on PBS about this new technique that allows some blind people to see, at least on a minimal level. While I'm sure this friend meant well, as Gareth gets older, I worry less about his vision and more about the other medical conditions that he was born with. Why isn't everyone concerned about fixing those? And who are we kidding? The diseases ...

The Constancy of Change: January 2010
http://theconstancyofchange.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
The Constancy of Change. Sunday, January 31, 2010. Needs more medication for existing conditions, then I'm pretty much screwed. But that's not the only reason I want more money. I feel powerless. I admit that ideally, there are some things I'd like to be able to buy without hesitation: music, art. Does more earning ability automatically make one greedy? Am I going to forget this desire to live small and simply and compassionately when I'm bringing home a bigger pay check? What are your concerns now?

The Constancy of Change: Body love and hate
http://theconstancyofchange.blogspot.com/2012/01/body-love-and-hate.html
The Constancy of Change. Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Body love and hate. Maybe it's because I'm sick of law school or maybe it's because I'm making an effort to do more things for me in order to survive law school, but I'm writing another blog post. Whoa. Slow down, me! At any rate, I was reading a recent post by Chandelle. I've addressed body issues here before. Most recently (almost two years ago now) here. I'm not thin enough. I'm not fit enough. As Chandelle mentioned in her post, I'm trying not to ge...

The Constancy of Change: Subjective Experience, Dogma and Community
http://theconstancyofchange.blogspot.com/2010/05/subjective-experience-dogma-and.html
The Constancy of Change. Tuesday, May 11, 2010. Subjective Experience, Dogma and Community. As my four, maybe six, readers know, I attend the Unitarian Universalist church here in Idaho Falls. We're an eclectic group. Some of us are Budhist, some are pantheistic, some are pagan, some worship Norse gods and goddesses, some are agnostic, some are atheist (me, me, me! What we generally have in common is our desire for social justice, peace, egalitarianism and deeper understanding of different circumstances.

The Constancy of Change: July 2009
http://theconstancyofchange.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
The Constancy of Change. Monday, July 13, 2009. The Real Issue Behind Global Warming. Say the traditional family values folks among us. "America's birthrate, hell the birthrate of quite a few developed nations is in decline! It's those heathen third world countries who are making too many humans! And just so we're clear, I'm the uber-hypocrite and actually don't spend a lot of time looking myself in the eye in the mirror, because I'm so ashamed of my apparent unwillingness to change my lifestyle). I am a...

The Constancy of Change: Sex. You Know You Want It ;)
http://theconstancyofchange.blogspot.com/2009/08/sex-you-know-you-want-it.html
The Constancy of Change. Friday, August 7, 2009. Sex You Know You Want It ;). Thankfully, I finally discovered orgasms, and I learned to enjoy sex once I was guilted into it. But I can honestly say that there was only a brief period in my married sex life where I. Actually craved sex. And you guessed it, that was the period in which he wasn't that interested. And while we're at it, he also happened to most enjoy the sex positions that hurt me the most. Had I craved sex before I was married? Wow Your post...

The Constancy of Change: Issue Spotting
http://theconstancyofchange.blogspot.com/2011/12/issue-spotting.html
The Constancy of Change. Tuesday, December 20, 2011. So I want to address a topic that I've never really looked at before. I don't really even know how to start it, so I'll just say: I've been thinking a lot about race. I want to start by saying, this post is sincere. If I say something stupid, call me out. I know I've got a lot to learn. Of course they were there, but once again they were largely marginalized. After that evening, it was my favorite move Iron Jawed Angels. What do I do? Obviously the gam...

The Constancy of Change: December 2012
http://theconstancyofchange.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
The Constancy of Change. Sunday, December 16, 2012. White People, You're Not Listening. I have a paper that I should be writing, and it has nothing to do with gun violence. But the recent school shooting in Connecticut, plus other recent episodes of gun violence (Trayvon Martin, Sherry Frey. And a host of other violent episodes have me thinking a lot. First, I will say. But lots of other people are addressing those issues in the wake of the Connecticut shooting. I want to talk about something differe...
