Jul. 25th, 2007 12:58 pmJust a little post to say I'm not dead. I even updated my other journal -- more on sodomy laws, with a few legal bits and pieces that probably aren't worksafe, unless ancient gossip about "great ladies" and "baboons" is worksafe where you are.
With all the paranoid knee-jerk censorship online these days, I worry sometimes that the words I have to use to talk about queer history will get my site shut down by some tech who's more reaction than thought. I mean, you can't write about "sodomy laws" without the word "sodomy," especially not when the meaning of the word was in dispute.
It's been a shitty day at work -- I made a stupid and major mistake, so I can't even put it the blame on someone else. My only defence is that I'm doing the job of 2.5 people right now, and my attention is scattered. Problem is, it's got me so stressed that it's leading to a cascade of minor errors, and it's put me in a foul mood.
In better news, I finally finished Deathly Hallows, though a review will have to wait for another day. I just wanted to say it's the best in the series, which is good because so much could've gone wrong. Now that's over, I'll venture into cyberspace again, no longer afraid of having it spoiled.
