Cabarrus county schools blocking access to LGBTQ sites?
According to Nathan (curly, not blond): Synopsis: the [Cabarrus County] public school system’s firewall is blocking LGBTQ sites without blocking other sites that I would consider parallel (say, http://www.operationsaveamerica.org). It’s not that the sites are thought of as related to sex (vs. sexuality), or something graphic. “The reason these sites are denied is as follows: ‘Gay, Lesbian, or bisexual interest.'” I really like the way Nathan and his partners in crime are handling this: Presently Savannah and I are trying to resolve the issue through normal channels by talking with people involved in the school district.

Ajax… for the win
AjaxWrite is an Ajax-powered word processor. That means no installation, no huge Microsoft application running, and–if you don’t own MS Office–no paying $500 to word process nicely.

*stumble*
It is always distressing to me when someone calls me attractive. It upsets the flow of my day and sends my mind reeling trying to cope with what that means. *laugh* How much meaning is there behind, “You’re hot”? Unsurprisingly, I can come up with a lot of potential meanings ranging from insulting to embarrassing to flattering. I suppose that in my mind, I am still the acne-covered, bitchy, unfit and unshapely high schooler that I was a mere couple of years ago. I know that I’ve changed, but I see the changes as being primarily internal and not noticeable to those that don’t pay close attention to that sort…

Midnight linkage
nolongerunknown: Firewall » It looks like Charlotte-Meck schools may have a bit of a problem on their hands–banning GLT, etc. websites just can’t end well. Yay to Nathan for championing this cause.
