- The Birthday Of The World (And Other Stories)
★★★★☆
Ursula K. Le Guin
A collection of stories set in Le Guin’s Hainish universe, on worlds with vastly different gender relations. Plus a couple of stand-alone stories. Mostly ranging from good to great, with Solitude and Paradises Lost being my favorites of the batch.

- California Marriage Equality: Vote Yes on Prop 3
If you haven’t voted yet, make sure you vote for Proposition 3 to future-proof marriage equality. While court cases have *blocked* 2008’s straight-marriage-only definition, it’s still in the state constitution and needs to be removed. Prop 3 does this.

Good grief. “Traditional marriage” didn’t go away when gays were let into the club. It doesn’t need a discriminatory law to “restore” it. South Coast Plaza has Christmas decorations up ALREADY. Halloween doesn’t […]
