  Daisy knocks it out of the park. “I attempted to participate in a thread over at Women’s Space/Margins, only to have my comments censored. Heart does not tolerate any dissent from any feminists at her site.”

  “He chooses what he says next more carefully than others do: ‘I think the quality of leadership is not representative of the people who live in this area.’ And now, thanks in good part to this, a malaise hangs over the place like a smog.”

  “Now that I’m living on my own, Twitter has become the place for an ever-present circle of friends. This near-constant virtual chatter – that is easily turned-off – has helped ease my loneliness a great deal, in ways I’m still figuring out.”

   OMG. That Augusta article.

   I have no words. It’s so fucking dead on. Who is this Christopher Solomon and how did he nail it so absolutely? (Yes, he’s a freelance writer based in Seattle…I must know more…off to Google, I go…)

   Seriously…that is the world I grew up in. Dead on. Eventually I will be able to articulate something else about that article. But not yet.

   Small criticism – Like the smell of a rendering plant on the outskirts of town, – no, dear. You don’t need a hypothetical rendering plant. There’s a real life paper mill to perfume the low-hanging smog. Apparently my beloved Christopher wasn’t in Augusta for a sticky summer night when sultry winds from the south blew rotten egg-scented dioxins over Georgia’s Second City.

   Flabbergasted.

   You win, Amber. I need a blog.
