Why no post today? I’m trapped — temporarily, I hope — in an alternate universe where it is considered bad form to write blogs when there are other, more tedious things to do (such as evading jury duty, taking care of a sick horse, or spending hours on the phone trying, with a pesky history …

No, there wasn’t a different post here yesterday. You are hallucinating. Perhaps you should go lie down, Paula.

Spinster aunt: “white,” perhaps, but not white
A selection of hues from the skin of my left forearm. The next time I have to check a race box on some form, I’m gonna tick “other” and write in “aubergine.” UPDATE: I realize that this post may need a bit more explanation. Here is how I got these swatches. I took a photo …

UPDATE: Crisis resolved. Thanks, and carry on. ________________________ UPDATE: I think I found the open tag. Is it fixed? ________________________ There is a rumor going around that I broke the blog and everything is suddenly all in italics.

New message appears on Chain Link Oracle Dumpster
Today’s question is: when is bathroom humor runny? I mean funny? I ask because there is a vas deferens between when some jokey sexist dude uses bathroom humor to tell women to lighten up and enjoy their oppression, and when some jokey spinster blogger uses it to draw attention to bigotry. Ha! Ha ha ha! …

Announcement Korner
For the heartwarming nature crappists, I present the red swamp crawfish found beached at my low-water crossing the other day. No yella labs were injured during this photo shoot. Brief thoughts of étouffée, the ancestral diet of spinster aunts of yore. Meanwhile, there can never be a proper bloggy dustup without a mea culpa from …

Spinster aunt mutters in Yiddish
If you are anti-IBTP-on-Facebook — and no spinster aunt can blame you for that — you have been spared the recent grim ennui of a painful exchange between a dude named Alexander who fancies himself feministically enlightened, and a blamer named Ana who does not entirely concur with Alexander’s self-assessment. It’s a classic Clueless-Dude Time-Drain. …

Global Blamer Kaffeeklatsch
Phil, my secretary, is against Facebook. I admit I have my reservations, too. It is difficult to regard such a wholesale privacy massacre without suspicion. For example, I just heard on the Marketplace Tech Report that they have just started this dealio where if you mention a brand name in your status update, Facebook can …

A pity there isn’t an antisocial network
I’m not sure why, but I Blame the Patriarchy is now on Facebook. Got some ultra-feminist thingy on your mind? Go on over and spew. By “spew” I of course mean “contribute elegant, concise, thought-provoking remarks that elevate the discourse.” We’ll see how long this lasts! Also, here is a picture of my horse. Carry …
