Join us in standing up for reproductive health and education. Planned Parenthood, the organization that delivers reproductive health care, sex education and information to millions of people worldwide, has come under fire in the U.S. lately, with many politicians on both state and federal level seeking to end funding (and in a few cases succeeding).

During the month of May, you can send a specially designed Planned Parenthood vgift to your friends to help support this cause. (And if you need someone to send it to, frank is always happy to receive gifts!) There are three variations ($1, $5 and $10) for you to choose from, but they'd all look good on your profile when your friends know that you stand by something so important.

                    

Thank you all for your help in our support for Planned Parenthood. This promotion ends June 1, 2012; LiveJournal is not affiliated with Parent Parenthood. For more information about Planned Parenthood, please visit: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/

my new year's resolution [Dec. 31st, 2011|11:59 pm]

[music |24 hours - the noisettes]

Alright. Let's try this book list thing again. Except it's gonna be 50 books for 2011. I know I know, I didn't even hit the 30 mark for 40 books in 2010. But what the hell, it's a new year AND I have new parameters for this year's book list to make things interesting!


For one, I shall attempt at least 2 "regular" books and 2 young adult ones per month. I haven't read enough young adult novels so this year will be a good time to catch up on the lot that I've missed. It'll also be good to recommend books with well-rounded characters and not those of the Twilight variety to my favorite 8-year old.


Additionally, rereads won't count! I probably shouldn't have counted them on last year's list either because rereading should be done for pleasure anyway. I've got tons of great books gathering dust on my shelves, I don't know why I let them. However, I'll still put them on the list. The more, the merrier right? Belatedly realizing I'm broke as all hell, I've come to the decision that rereads will indeed count. Good job, self.


Wish me luck!Collapse )

I'm so sorry that you weren't granted justice and that you will be used as an example, a statistic, to further any changes in our justice system. I'm sorry the US government, our government, your government, did you wrong. You deserved so much better. You will not be forgotten. RIP.

With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

So I've decided to catch up on the pleasure reading that I've failed to do in the past several years. My pre-New Year resolution will be to read a certain number of books before the end of 2010. Hopefully, I'll figure out that number by the end of this year, but until then, behold the results of my warm-up for the BIG!read of 2010:


And it went on and on my friend...Collapse )


Of course, recommendations are always welcome! Happy reading!
