where the winds of limbo roar....
Oct. 17th, 2011 01:14 am1 AM is the best time for posting for me, it's the closest to real free time I get; I know a lot of people miss the posts because of that, but what can I do? It's been a very, very busy week. #understatement.
Occupy Chicago is where I was for 12 hours yesterday. No, I wasn't arrested -- I had the choice to stand in the arresting space, and I chose to stand in the witnessing space instead. I felt vaguely guilty about that for about 10 minutes, and then I remembered my early 20s and remembered I'd earned my merit badges already. Still, the amazing mass solidarity of a singularly-focused crowd is a major peak experience for me, and I will keep going until....well, until our nation is different. Very different.
Today I went to the Chicago Cultural Center for the release party for a longtime dear friend's book about Aretha Franklin.
In between, y'know, work. And the novels. I'll be putting up a new post at my original fic journal
face_fomus shortly. (all posts there are locked)
