Common Places: Just another day
http://featherlessbiped.blogspot.com/2012/02/just-another-day.html
Hating Valentine's Day has gotten tedious. Some years, it's an act of self-affirmation and a sign of solidarity with all the other single (or, for that matter, unhappily coupled) people out there to rage against the commercial juggernaut of candy, flowers, cards, and overpriced, overcrowded dinners out. Indignation is at least healthier than moping. This year, though, I didn't really feel the need to either mope or rage. I made a donation in the spirit of Panty Palooza. I try to be mindful of the approac...

Common Places: In Praise of Facebook
http://featherlessbiped.blogspot.com/2013/04/in-praise-of-facebook_5.html
In Praise of Facebook. A new article over at. Talks about the dangers of Facebook envy and the threat social media poses to true community. I want to be sympathetic to the author's concerns, but I have to object to the way she universalizes one kind of experience with social media and suggests that it is inherent to those media themselves. For some of us, Facebook can be a valuable tool for promoting true community. I check Facebook when I'm bored and/or lonely, sure. (Not only. Many of the most intimate...

Common Places: I asked for a trigger warning on Ovid before it was cool
http://featherlessbiped.blogspot.com/2015/05/i-asked-for-tigger-warning-on-ovid.html
I asked for a trigger warning on Ovid before it was cool. Discussions about the possibility and role of trigger warnings in higher education. Always make me a little depressed, because it seems that any mention of the theme instantly devolves into a shouting match between two camps, both terrified that the other will leverage power and privilege to trample on their cherished values, with the result that no one ends up listening to the valid concerns of those who disagree. It turns out, I was way ahead of...

Common Places: Music and me
http://featherlessbiped.blogspot.com/2009/02/music-and-me.html
One of the things that depression stole from me is the capacity to enjoy music. This is about recorded and/or broadcast music - somehow, my relationship to LIVE music is a different, more complicated thing. But I'm not going into that here.). I know fellow depressives who have found music to be a saving grace, something they held onto for dear life when the world stopped making sense. Sometimes it was music in general, sometimes a specific artist/album/song that got them through. My depression has been ...

Amanda Caldwell: January 2011
http://www.amandacaldwell.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Poetry, fiction, essays, articles, songs, and visual art. We've been trying to wrest ourselves into a "normal" schedule — as in, the type of schedule that wouldn't appeal to vampires. In the multiple.) It's a huge temptation, especially since I have yet to wake up not. In the middle of a dream, feeling all groggy and out of it. And we have yet to see Corin wake up on his own, without prompting that is met with much protestation. Why isn't he tired? And Steve said simply, "He's a night owl.". This evening...

Amanda Caldwell: If a pregnant woman falls in the forest and no one is around to see it, does she still look cute, in a beached-whale sort of way?
http://www.amandacaldwell.com/2011/02/if-pregnant-woman-falls-in-forest-and.html
Poetry, fiction, essays, articles, songs, and visual art. If a pregnant woman falls in the forest and no one is around to see it, does she still look cute, in a beached-whale sort of way? We have a couple friends we see regularly, and a few more we see occasionally, and that's that. We visited Steve's family when I was in that stage where I knew. Have fat rolls and funny-looking cowlicks. What does he have on me? So I get fabulous pictures like this. 169; 2011 Amanda L. Caldwell. I write from my home ove...
