I'm a Bit Rattled By The Exodus...

happening here on Blogit.. I hope nobody else is leaving any time soon! Do you think Facebook is replacing the site? Personally I don't feel FB is a conducive environment for creative writing posts - I've put some of my poems there and other than my son's English professor and the assistant editor...

OINK, Oink?!

The pulmonology office I am a patient of just e mailed me a link to this fascinating article: "Pig lungs could soon be transplanted into humans after astonishing medical breakthrough" My doctor knows I have reservations about receiving new human lungs because there is a shortage and I feel young...

Toxic Blogit?

A person leaving cruel comments is bad, but I must say the worst Blogit behavior I've witnessed occurred a couple of years ago. A Palestinian woman joined the site; she lived in the Occupied Territories and wrote gentle, lovely poetry. Sometimes her work reflected the deep angst and fear inherent in...

Think I may know who the Blogit-ta provocateur is...

Something in a comment to my recent poem jogged my memory...very reminiscent of days gone by here. The person I'm referring to posted lots of poetry (good hint, eh?..lol) and was quite provocative and more in his writings and comments, especially to other poets and women. All I can say is if I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy 4th

My schedule is overly full and the terrible heat is sapping my already compromised energies, so I'm not able to write in great length on the subject of U.S.A. Independence Day, though I would love to do so. I always have mixed feelings about this holiday. My nation-state began (it was already a... Sign in to see full entry.

Signs Of Empire?

We have civil wars on a regular basis here in the good ol' US of A. But not over the usual causes of violence - political or religious ideals, poverty, land. Instead our battles emanate from all levels of society, the rich to the poor. They are about a worthy-enough-to-die-for-competitive drive -... Sign in to see full entry.

A History of Blogit Crushes

When I first became a member here in the summer of '03 I posted poems with political and social themes - imagine that, eh? - along with verse inspired by beauties surrounding me. They caught the attention of another new blogger, whom I'll refer to by his initial - S. S was a truly gifted writer and... Sign in to see full entry.

Which Bloggers do You Hate??

We can disagree in debate and comments, sometimes so strongly keys fly off the board and go into hiding...) but hate is an emotion I only feel for the vilest of the vile: those who abuse/destroy children. Personally I have come to the conclusion that with bloggers/people whom no common ground can be... Sign in to see full entry.

The Mother's Day ANTI-WAR Origin

Mother’s Day began in America in 1870 when Julia Ward Howe wrote the Mother’s Day Proclamation. Written in response to the American Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War, her proclamation called on women to use their position as mothers to influence society in fighting for an end to all wars.

Hello, Remember me?..:)

Feeling like Earth herself these days: storm shattered and stripped down to roots and rock, but still fertile, pliable and wanting to grow flowers everywhere I awaken.. Hi Guys! Been caught up in toxic family situations; didn't intend to stay away so long. Sign in to see full entry.
