| George W. Bush has launched a new assault on birth control and reproductive freedom.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently proposed regulations that could seriously undermine access to basic reproductive health services -- including birth control and abortion.
Instead of striking a careful balance between individual religious liberty and patients’ access to reproductive health care, the Bush administration has taken patients’ rights and their health care needs out of the equation.
This far-reaching proposal doesn’t need congressional approval. But, it can’t go forward without allowing for public comment. That’s where you come in.
The deadline for public comments is fast approaching -- September 20 -- and we have to generate intense opposition to these dangerous regulations.
I just sent HHS my comment urging them to stop efforts to block women's access to basic reproductive health services. You can do the same here:

| | he makes me pancakes and big bowls of tofu pad thai. i watch him make etchings and we sit on his floor eating pints of ben and jerry's. he picks my nose for me and kisses my fingers. we dance to 80s music and he sings me alicia keys' stupid songs. i am so so so so so happy for the first time in awhile. i've never really been in a relationship like this and i'm having all sorts of issues balancing my life and school and friends because all i want to do is lay in bed with him all day. | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| things are okay. little things about this school keep me from leaving. big things make me want to leave. if i do leave, i think i am moving west. maybe to canada. or seattle. seattle or portland sounds amazing. so does san diego. i wish there were better art schools in that direction, it's a shame.
karl blau is amazing. i saw him last night and met his wife and daughter and got a cd he recorded with phil elvrum at the dawn of time on a 4-track. he was so friendly, and liked giving hugs. i like it when other artists that inspire me are friendly, it makes everything better.
i got my bike. the hills in this city are out of control. its so hard. i'm a baby. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| well, i just talked to my art teacher (i only have one) about the possibility of transferring and he was amazing about it. it's taken me almost two weeks to get the courage to talk to him about it, simply because i don't want to offend him, and thought he was the type of person that would take offense to such a thing. but no no no. apparently he took 10 years almost to get a degree and he transferred all over the place and he understands! one of the issues with this school is that i do not have enough freedom to make the art that i want to make. people are always telling me how i SHOULD do it. but they do have an interdisciplinary program that i will go check out when it gets closer to midterm. this way, my teacher says, "i will know what i'm leaving and why i am leaving" or "why i am staying". its sort of weird, i'm not sure what type of recommendation i would get from him and i'm hesitant to ask, my work this far has been mediocre and half-assed. but we will see. he is a really nice man, i am so happy that he's my teacher.
these are the school's he suggested i look into:
san francisco art institute
school of the museum of fine arts
i don't know how much going back to chicago would help me, but that's a whole different story. | | comments: Leave a comment |
