The ageist hounding of Ming Campbell: BBC to air new investigation 1 Citation One of the most striking examples of the prevalent levels of ageism still at play in parts of the British media, in my mind, was the ageist hounding of Liberal Democrat leader Ming Campbell in the lead up to his resignation in 2007. Some of the worst culprits probably think of themselves as progressive in their politics, in particular I am thinking of the Guardian ?s political cartoonist Steve Bell , his portrayals (see below) of Ming Campbell relentlessly drew upon negative sterotyp, technorati.com

Age and Ageism amongst Players, Player- and Non-Player Characters 1 Citation Last night, while bored (and dreading having to get up early this morning, but not actually making any attempt to get to sleep early), I clicked around the internet until I stumbled upon the Jurassic Park theme song on YouTube . Jurassic Park is one of my childhood favourites, I watched the movie way back in ?93 ? when I was 10 ? at least once a week. So, wanting to get others to share in the warm, glowing nostalgia, I hopped on to twitter, interrupting another DnD edition war, and told everybo, technorati.com

New directions. Older problems. 1 Citation Encouraged by helpful support from fellow bloggers , I feel more confident with the odd 'off piste' post. Though not quite out of the woods yet (meetings with finance guys, trying to let her cottage, etc), with my dear old Mum now in a nursing home I hope to see my focus on work options returning more soon.

Anyway, there is also the no, technorati.com

The Big Question - Exposing Myself 1 Citation I?ve had this question in my head for a little while and thought I?d send it out to the blog audience. Hopefully I can recruit some educators to jump in on the conversation as well. I?ve read a few posts about ageist, racist and sexist fiction writing. I?m exposing my ignorance her by admitting I don?t exactly know what that means. I?ve never studied writing. I don?t want to be guilty of these social sins, but I?m not sure where to start learning more. I also don?t want to sanitize my writ, technorati.com

not middle class enough I guess: the official midlife crisis post 1 Citation 2009 is shaping up to be a year of suck. So far: My badass pistol of a feline best friend got so sick that I had to put her down I was diagnosed with a currently fairly benign but likely progressive, potentially scary and definitely attention-requiring medical condition I watched a women?s land community, which I had hoped to one day be a part of, disintegrate, due at least in part to one woman?s lies, misrepresentations, and festering resentments I turned 40 I learned that despite K, technorati.com

Traditional Catholics and My Grandparents 1 Citation discussed as two separate topics. I always find something of interest at Daisy's blog but I wanted to comment on two recent posts in particular. The first was a look at Sedevacantists , a splinter group of traditional catholicism, most famously associated with both Mel Gibson and his father. For a person raised with the most fleeting nod toward Christianity and currently practicing no religion at all, I know a surprising amount about traditional Catholicism. Some of that is due, technorati.com

1 Citation Purple and red angelonia, and other purty plants at the South Carolina Farmer's market. (from my Flickr page ) I am one of those lifelong weirdo-hippies that enjoys talking to strangers, and so the article titled Happinomics in Adbusters totally vindicates me. I do think I am happier when I exchange pleasantries with other people, and I enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling of connection/communion that results from it...it's not (only) because I am a nosyparker!
