I will endeavor to keep this list of filters up to date right here, so it won't get lost.
Not all of these have posts at this point; I assume they will at some point, but no posting frequency is promised. Comment on the site (http://kadiera.quicksilverdragon.com ) to be added to filters; you must have an account there and read them there, or in an RSS reader that allows authentication, to read them.
polyamory - there hasn't been much to say on this topic lately, but every once in a while things have come up for discusison.
kink - I think I've posted exactly one post in my entire blogging career on kink-related subjects, and that was a public post. But just in case I decide to talk, it's here.
The rules here...

In general, I write a lot. Feel free to subscribe to a feed (there should be links somewhere on the main page) and read from your favorite aggregator.
I write a lot about general things going on in life. I write about writing, religion, relationships, the cats, things that irritate me, things that amuse me, and anything else that comes to mind.
an ounce of prevention costs more than a pound of cure...

"The truth is, shockingly few prevention efforts actually save the health care system money overall, despite claims by the president and some in Congress."

It seems to me that if we want to save money on health care, we should start with evidence based medicine - stick with therapies that actually work for most people, until/unless it doesn't work for a specific patient. If therapies don't work, the cost is sort of irrelevant, isn't it?
a sort of backhanded compliment

"The words just come to you, don't they."
I never thought that sentence could be said in an insulting way.
The fact that the other person in the room got berated for his lack of writing skills just makes it all the worse.
the problem with hate crimes
Submitted by kadiera on Thu, 06/11/2009 - 13:23.
The murder yesterday of a security guard at a museum is a hate crime, because of the topic of the museum. I suspect the deceased, being just a normal run-of-the-mill American, thought more on his way to work every morning about how grateful he was to have a job, than about how awesome it was to work at a place with a particular theme.
The murderer hated a group of people so much that murder made sense...and we don't even know if the guy he killed actually belonged to that group. The assailant was a known white supremacist with a history of jail time, apparently thought this was the best way to convince everyone else he was right. That's what you call an extremist - someone so enmeshed in their beliefs that they lose touch with reality.
Jane Austen & Zombies

I am odd -I was never a fan of Jane Austin.
But add in zombies, and some of her work might be entertaining:

The interesting thing about facebook is finding out that some people turn out as adults to be nothing like you thought they would, and others turn out to still be *exactly* the way you remember them.
I'm not sure that this is good or bad...just interesting to see that there were friends of mine in HS who turned out to be a hell of a lot more like me than any of us really thought we would.
The friend we all thought would be an actress (because she was fabulously beautiful, yet down to earth) is a stay at home mom who works renfest and is a burlesque dancer....and is Pagan, and loves the kushiel books.
The friend we thought would be a stick-in-the mud engineering type is....he drinks wine, designs airplanes, reads German memoirs for fun, and has dogs instead of kids.
the update of the week

I dislike driving near people who can't drive in the snow.

I received my royalty payment yesterday for my essay in Manifesting Prosperity. Yay me, I am now officially a paid writer.
*****
Lots of thinking going on as I get through the work of figuring out what I know and what I don't know, spiritually and religiously speaking. It's odd, but good.
*****
In other thinking news, I'm contemplating this concept of pride. I get nervous when people say they're proud of me, and I assume they are not sincere, and that it's just a ploy to make me see things their way.
A big part of this is that no one ever said they were proud of me as a kid.
yay bread!

Yay for a bread machine.
Now if only I'd read far enough to realize that this loaf won't be done baking until sometime after 1 am... I suppose the first loaf (cinnamon raisin bread) may be a good time to try out the cool down cycle, since we'll be up and about a few hours after it shuts off.
Wednesday night's project: whole wheat bread, because it means not having to buy bread anymore if I make it work.
