Is Wicca sexist? Is Wicca trans-phobic?
Wicca - the dichotomy of the god and the goddess. Only a few nods to gender-switching gods and characters (Tiresias, Loki). Everything thing else is black and white.
I work with a lesbian separatist who absolutely loathes trans, genderqueer, fluid. She rejects anyone and anything that is not outside the absolute sexes.
Almost as bad as a christer fundy, another bunch she loathes.

She was my mom.
It's starting to sink in.

I'm watching a great movie, "Queen of the Galaxy" - dahlings, Zsa-Zsa just blew up a space station! (It vas uckly, dahlink.)
Tomorrow, I'm going to Chadron to see my mom; help her get settled from one place to another, find another apartment, get stuff packed or junked ... rinse and repeat from December.
(Now the spacemen are wriggling in their recliners like they're getting the best. head. ever.)

Being quiet
I'm keeping my mouth shut, practicing listening instead of shooting my mouth off.
We'll see how long that will last.

Nattering about karma
The rule of three.
Is it a way to make the craft all nicey-nicey? Is the universe a giant push-pull lever?
You throw a rock. Did you squash a bug with it? You're fucked, my friend. Karma is going to eat your lunch because you killed an innocent bug. Oh, and don't forget that you're taking the bug's karma onto yours as well. Looks like your lunch is going to be eaten for a few lifetimes now.
Western Karma makes the universe seem mechanistic. You put your quarter in the slot, make your selection, and hope it's a good one.
When I try to look at karma from a Hindu standpoint, I run into a wall. I'm not Hindu, and I'm totally ignorant as to how it works. Is it solely Hindu? Have the Jaina and the Buddhists incorporated the idea into their faiths? Does Islam acknowledge karma?
Does western karma cripple people to the point where they can't act?
Is the rule of 3 a version of karma?
Why 3, for fuxxakes? Why not the rule of 1, of 100, of 69?
