mokie: Blackadder's Baldrick says, "That is a bourgeois act of repression, sir!" (politics liberal)
Having someone who once called you heavily, heavily implied you were a racist for living in South St. Louis wig out because black folks in her town are suggesting the community has some race issues to deal with: weird as fuck.

That some of the issues in question are things this same person openly acknowledged - even brought up - in conversation a few years ago, before they got into politics: weirder still.

I'm glad the protests have left the suburbs and gone regional, because it's not a Ferguson issue or a City issue, but a regional issue. Maybe now the skittish white suburbanites can stop being so parochial and defensive, nitpicking about trees and ignoring the forest.

About dream/reading tags

y-* tags categorize dreams.

For types: beyond the obvious, there are dreamlets (very short dreams), stubs (fragment/outline of a partially-lost dream), gnatter (residual impression of a lost dream).

For characters: there are roles (characters fitting an archetype), symbols (characters as symbols), and sigils (recurring figures with a significance bigger than a single dream's role/symbolism).

x-* tags categorize books.

Material is categorized primarily by structure, style and setting. If searching for a particular genre, look for the defining features of that genre, e.g. x-form:nonfic:bio, x-style:horror, x-setting:dystopian.
