I've been much less present on DW than I'd like the last few weeks. I've abandoned several really good comment discussions in mid-flow, which I hate doing. And I've been reading lots of really important personal or thinky posts from various people and bookmarking them to comment later but not getting round to it. And I have several big posts queued up in my head:
  • intersectionality and the causes you're not an activist for
  • the post I promised [personal profile] pretty_panther about antisemitism
  • mmmaybe religion and homophobia, but I'm not sure if this is actually a post yet
  • introduction to epigenetics (I've been meaning to write this for years but it floated to the top again because I found myself explaining X-inactivation in #dreamwidth recently)
  • a proper discussion about alternative medicine, to follow up my rather flip comments from when I was being deliberately controversial
Much as I dislike withdrawing from DW, which is really an aspect of withdrawing from my connections with people I care about, the reason is almost entirely work, and it makes entire sense to prioritize urgent job-related stuff.

Anyway, I have one day to myself (today) which I'm trying to use to catch up with DW a bit as well as doing some of the looming stack of abandoned chores. Inconveniently I'm working the Open Day tomorrow; we all have to do two weekend days a year and I signed up for this weekend months ago, before I realized it would be the day before I go away on holiday. Which brings me to the other point of this post: I'm away for two weeks from Monday, visiting [personal profile] hatam_soferet and [livejournal.com profile] rysmiel yay! I am really really looking forward to a holiday as well as seeing two of my favourite people who usually have far too much geography. And when I get back I go straight in to running High Holy Day services, so I might not get to continuing those conversations or writing those posts for a while yet. I'll probably have at least some limited internet access via borrowing my hosts' connections, but I likely won't be online much because I want to spend time with my people in physical reality.

Soundbite

Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
