I Guess the Main Stream Media missed this

Submitted by on

I have been listening to NPR ( National Public Radio ) lately and 3 days ago they did an artical on the New California law that requires the teaching of LGBT history in state schools.
They compaired a man named Harvey (I know when somebody smarter than reads this they will correct Mr. Milks first name) Milk, who was assinated for being an equal rights spokesman and also gay, to Dr. Martin Luther King.
To listen to the artical you can probally go to your local NPR station on the net.
I guess the mainstream media missed this or thought unnewsworthy

Server Rescue

Submitted by on

My understanding from Kristin Darken is that Bob was hosting sites for a lot more than just the TG community. The following is the post I made on the Crystal Hall, which may be pertinent to the BCTS/TG Server/Site Rescue Taskforce.

If the servers for the non-TG sites are on physically distinct machines from "our" sites, our (narrow vision) end of things would be relatively easy, just get "our" machine(s) moved elsewhere.

Justice Department seeks to keep enforcing DADT

Submitted by on

Found today online:

"Justice Department seeks to keep enforcing 'don't ask, don't tell' for now"

"The Obama administration wants to stick with the timetable set in last year's congressional action to repeal the controversial policy.The Obama administration asked a federal appeals court late Thursday to suspend its decision last week ordering an end to enforcement of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which bars gay people from serving openly in the armed forces."

Thank you all from Bob's sister

Submitted by on

I wanted to thank you all for giving me insight into how many friends Bob really did have. He seemed to live such a solitary life, but I now realize his life was much richer than any of us imagined. Please know that you will be with us in our thoughts as we go on with his memorial service and as we try to get his websites back up and running.

Your messages have brought me much comfort during this terribly difficult time.

Please feel free to keep in touch.

A fitting tribute

Submitted by on

I have been fretting all day over the news of Bob's passing away. While I did not know him, I knew of him, how can you not ... story edited by, site maintained by and the list goes on. I wish I had the words to express the sorrow I feel within, but I am not that good with words. All I know is he will be missed terribly.

So, here is to Bob's memory, his work and legacy. God speed and may your rest be peaceful.

Shaving Mishap

Submitted by on

Hey BC, last week I had a go at shaving my legs for the first time. Turns out it was a bad idea as I was unprepared, though I managed not to cut myself at least. My advice if you have lots of hair have a bag full of disposable razors at the ready. I blunted mine before I got past my knees and whilst it could still handle the longer hairs it could no longer get the stubble; that was itchy for a while. I fixed it by buying some hair removal cream so I'm fine now. Probably should have asked for some advice before I tried but whats done is done.

Character Names

Submitted by on

Sorry to vent.

But what's with these names? We had Jackson Browne as a black manual laborer a few weeks ago, and now we're seeing James Worthy as a white business executive.

We're talking about Hall of Famers here, authors -- people are going to recognize the names and get distracted when they're inappropriate. I do, anyway.

I need a good author

I am looking for a good author who is willing to help me tell my life story. I am a 32 year old man, I have lead an average life for the most part, except I am ADHD and I am sure I have some other mental issues, after all ADHD is a mental illness.

I am trying to get treatment for my issues and get my life on track. I would like to get started on a Bio ASAP.

Blown Away by Performance - Kelli O'Hara

Submitted by on

Monday on the Capital 4th program on PBS, I was blown away by Kelli O'Hara's voice in a duet with Matthew Morrison singing Tonight from West Side Story. I was not previously familiar with Ms O'Hara. The performance is posted here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NT5VUulLssg . The duet starts about 4:17. It's well worth watching if you haven't seen it.

I'm Kristine Roland's Wife. And you're a great bunch!

Submitted by on

First, thank you all for the offer of giving me a place in your home. I do appreciate it, I've now created an account, and I may drop in on occasion. Unfortunately, it doesn't really solve the problem.

The problem is this: because Kristy is a CD, because TGs are a (very short) step up from unacceptable in our world, the two of us have decided not to out hir. Which means that, publicly, I can't say anything about it. Which means, it all lives in a box and I can't integrate my whole life anywhere.

Summer, Tesla Coils and Editing

Submitted by on

Hey Everyone, college has broken up for the summer and I'm planning to spend a lot more time writing. I'm also, as a slightly random idea, going to build a tesla coil. I'm probably going to build the type that uses a spark gap but it would be awesome if I could build a solid state, which can be used to play music (if tuned right anyway).

I would also like to have a go a some editing so if anyone has a story/chapter that they want editing please send it my way. I wont feel insulted in any way if you send it in for a second opinion as I have never done this before

Gaby Tales

Submitted by on

Hi peeps

Over the last few years Angharad and I have written a number of pretty much standalone Gabysodes for various competitions and events. Some of these have been widely seen on the internet, others have only limited distribution.

I thought it would be nice to bring a selection of these tales together in one single volume so if you have missed their previous appearances or simply like to see Gaby in print, this one’s for you.

So here it is, Gaby Tales, ten Gabysodes that sit outside of the main stream of either Angharad's or my own main Gaby storylines.

Story Suggestion(s)?

Submitted by on

I'm mainly posting this story suggestion request because I'm finding it harder and harder to find stories which I really like.

1. The kind of story that I'm looking for should preferably revolve around a main character that's around 12 to 25 years (or ends up around that age through age regression). The main thing is that the character ends up going to a school of some sort (high school, collage or university), this makes it easier to relate to and I just like the kind of environment it provides for the character (will she fit in or not and things like that)

Ignore list

Submitted by on

I've got a question about the ignore list function. I just ignored another author by accident again, and I wanted to ask if there is a possibillity to deactivate the ignore button, or have a pop-up-window that asks if I really want to ignore the user.

Yes I know how to remove an author from the list, it is just really annoying.

A 15 Yr Old Suspended

Submitted by on

I Think this School District could have problems with this being what state this happen in! Richard

PORT ORCHARD, Wash. – A 15-year-old boy has been suspended from school after wearing high heels and a dress to school as a part of a challenge laid down by his mother.

Sam Saurs, a ninth grader at Sedgwick Junior High School in Port Orchard, said he told his mother that wearing high heels wouldn't be that hard. Saurs' mother challenged him to try it and he accepted. To take it even further, he decided to wear a dress, too.
