Who's with me?

I'm feeling much better, thanks. After many long and wonderful conversations with many wonderful (but not necessarily long) people since Wednesday morning, and after reading some outstandingly funny takes on the sit-choo-ay-shun, I'm no longer investigating indigent defense jobs up North. Instead, I'm thinking about what I can do (new, different, more, or better) to prevent the country from sliding into bigoted theocracy and to move us closer to the pluralistic, tolerant, diverse, and free society we should be. If you have ideas, please pass them along.

I had a conversation today with an old friend who, with her wife, is raising three gorgeous children. Among other things, we talked about ways that Steve and I can show solidarity with gay couples as we go forward with our own marriage. I'm keeping the ceremony under wraps for now, but I'm hard at work incorporating some ideas and brainstorming others. I feel incredibly lucky - and more than a little uncomfortable - that I can marry the person I love while many of my friends whose relationships are just as committed as ours cannot.

I also made contributions this week to the ADL, NARAL, and Planned Parenthood. That felt really good. If you're looking for something to do thisminute, why not pick your favorite activist organization and send some much-needed money its way? After all, the fight is only just beginning, and it's going to be a long and expensive one.
