Letters to Dave Navarro

I got this from JayLynn.  I don’t ordinarily promote causes here, but this is something so bizarre and enormous that I felt I should pass it along.  I honestly did not believe the first site…talking about the internet harassment of Dave Navarro for seeking a divorce, until I actually went to the second site.  Part […]

MacMcClelland, Rape, and PTSD

In the past few weeks there has been a lot of traffic in the online world about a piece by Mother Jones journalist Mac McClelland for Good. That’s not surprising in itself. If you’ve never heard of Mac McClelland, she’s one of those rare people in the world who is out to do some good…and cut a […]

Thanks for the First Full-Day Workshop

The first thing I want to say is “thanks” to everyone who came out to the full weekend workshop.  I was just awed by the response to this.  I’d felt for a while that basic Psychological issues were under-presented in the Community. I just cannot thank the attendees enough.  Some of you were people I […]

A Warm Fuzzy Tale–PART TWO!

  So…probably most of you in School, or Church, or some other Institution of Cultural Assimilation, read Claude Steiner’s “A Warm Fuzzy Tale” in grade school.  And if you’re like me, you sort of shrugged and said “well that makes sense but whatever.” So…most people get “A Warm Fuzzy Tale” without any explanation that it’s […]

I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner…

The Sexting scandal with Representative Weiner is a source for plenty of tittering and twittering, not least because most of us still have enough Junior High mentality to think “Weiner’s weener” is funny. For me it opens up a larger question. Has the dichotomy between conventional conservative American morality and the new media led to […]

W.C. Fields was right…(leeches)

I’ve always looked a little askance at Field’s wisdom. Through most of his life he took little digs at the boredom of Philadelphia…the most famous being his proposed epitaph from a 1925 Vanity Fair. “Here lies W. C. Fields. I would rather be living in Philadelphia.” Philly has been a fairly consistently charming city for […]
