Hi Folks. I lurk here A LOT and haven’t written a diary in years, and I rarely comment. I do feel compelled to let you know that today, the California Fish and Game Commission is meeting to consider listing the Joshua Tree as a threatened species. This would help greatly in limiting development in the fragile desert ecosystems that the Joshua Tree and many other species depend on. From the agenda:

Consider the petition, the Department’s status review report, and comments received to determine whether listing western Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia) as threatened under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) is warranted. (Pursuant to sections 2075 and 2075.5, Fish and Game Code)

The more people who join the Zoom meeting and speak out in support of this threatened status, the better! You can join the call on Zoom link here, and “raise your hand” when the agenda item #5 is brought up. You’ll get a minute or two (depending on how many people are there to speak) to express your support of the Joshua Tree. The desert ecosystem is delicate and greatly impacted by climate change and development. Anything we can do to protect the Joshua Tree, I believe we should do!

JBF is so gay!

The students at my school/employer publish a weekly alternative, snarky newsletter. My job is Programs & Services Coordinator. This is the article I had in the most recent issue. I'm "JBF," and my boss is "Tropiano."

JBF is so gay!

Holy time machine, Batman! The semester is almost over! It's been a crazy, mostly satisfying ride, with just a few speed bumps along the way. At the risk of being all fuddy-duddy, I'd like to elucidate my reaction to one such bump that I hit this past Friday night. No, not the students getting tossed out of Dodgers Stadium due to public inebriation. I have other, more sinister ways of dealing with that.

The bump in question was when a usually thoughtful, congenial student sitting about 2 rows behind me on the cheese bus said that something was "gay."

If you watched the Today Show like I did this morning, you saw Matt Lauer interview Laura Ingraham from Fox News. WTF? Matt practically fawned over Laura and her criticism of Obama's actions and Europe's embrace of him and Michelle. Follow me below the fold...

Being gay is NOT a lifestyle, Ms. Endo!

Thanks to Markos for calling attention to US Census media rep Cynthia Endo's idiotic characterization of gay marriage as a "lifestyle" to be ignored in the 2010 census, and not a "number" that might warrent counting. I'm so sick and tired of my GAY marriage being called a lifestyle that is somehow oddball, scary, sinful, worthless or negligible. HOW DARE YOU, CYNTHIA!

More after the fold (I think...this is my first diary).
