Spirit Day
I did not don purple for Spirit Day today, although I had intended to, for the simple reason that my brain was not functioning very well at 6:30 this morning when I pulled on my clothes, and I consider myself fortunate that I left the house with everything buttoned up and with shoes on both feet.
However, I think you can safely assume that I am against bullying, particularly of GLBTQ kids, whether I am wearing purple or not. I did also celebrate the day by reading the 125 page 9th circuit brief in Perry v. Schwarzenegger in its entirely. Mr. Olson and Mr. Boies, not to mention the plaintiffs, you are my heroes.
Well, I admit I don't want to write at length about bullying, either. Not tonight. I don't know why....I am weary, and two straight weeks of no karate has been wearing on me (although I did go back last night--my balance absolutely sucked. It's like starting all over again as a green belt or something.) But it's partly that the topic of bullying (and I've been reading the coverage obsessively in the news the last few weeks) has awakened some old ghosts. I've blogged about my experience before and I don't want to paw through that ugliness again tonight, particularly.
Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice. I am all in favor of that.
