Oz Squad: January 2010
http://ozsquad.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 29, 2010. It is not often you come across a writer for an arts and culture style magazine who gets all excited about using the term, “fucking retarded.” But Foster Kamer in his article titled, In Defense of Retarded. Foster’s logic is faulty and his presentation is mean and extremely rude. Here's a guy who thinks that calling things he doesn't like "fucking retarded" is a joke that mentally retarded people should be able to "take" in order to be considered equal in our culture. To email t...

Elizabeth Twist: April 2014
http://elizabethtwist.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Writer, Plague Enthusiast. I'll Tell You What. So April has slapped me upside the face with a wet fish (metaphorically speaking), and I've gotta slow down a little. Everything is fine. Great, even. I'm so glad people are enjoying the elephant animations, and I have to say, I am having an absolute blast doing them. So much so, I want to ease back on the pace a little. At the beginning of the month I decided to finish my page-a-day novel. Links to this post. In case you missed the previous installments:.

Elizabeth Twist: Trunking It
http://elizabethtwist.blogspot.com/2015/06/trunking-it.html
Writer, Plague Enthusiast. So I woke up in a cold sweat this morning, heart pounding, only to realize it had been approximately a thousand years since I last dropped by here and said something. Okay I didn't. But I have been thinking about all of you and imagine my joy and bliss to see that so many of you are still vigorously or at least semi-vigorously posting on your bloggity blogs. Currently I'm working on a superhero story and trying to finish one about genetically altered sheep women. Im trying to g...

Elizabeth Twist: Literally Funny
http://elizabethtwist.blogspot.com/2014/08/literally-funny.html
Writer, Plague Enthusiast. Something I noticed while massively feverish is that my ability to concentrate on one thing at a time was actually better than usual. I set myself up at my keyboard and got done a giant amount of work on second-drafting / transcribing a bunch of fiction, all while dripping sweat and hallucinating ponies. I'm wondering now if my occasional bout of distractionitis are related to having too much energy? Anyhow, I hope you are all having a fabulous August so far. Literally is a gre...

Elizabeth Twist: September 2014
http://elizabethtwist.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Writer, Plague Enthusiast. I am still here and still writing and trying to sub more. It's been a busy summer for me. I've finally figured out a couple of ways to promote my other, non-writing business that are comfortable and don't feel like crazy self-sacrifice. A couple-three weeks ago I followed a circuitous route (mostly via higherfunction's tumblr. Into the fandom that follows / fics / combs through every detail of BBC's Sherlock. I'll probably blog other pop culture stuff over there. Cherie Reich -...

Oz Squad: September 2009
http://ozsquad.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 29, 2009. Ten years ago a close friend of mine came to me when she was 18 weeks pregnant and explained that her child had Down syndrome and that she and her husband had decided to abort it. She told me that the doctor said it would be a financial burden on the family and that it was unfair to their other three children. I felt really bad for them and never gave much thought to their reasoning. 1 A life of suffering. I wouldn’t do that to my child. Yeah, me neither. Guess what? I read t...
