Tragedy and then some

With all the events that have happened in the last couple of weeks, I've been wanting to share so much with the world. Mostly it's been anger. Anger over the events following last November's California State Elections, when a (very) slim majority of voters opted to strip the right to marry away from same sex couples. Yes, this is terrifying for many reasons, predominantly the fact that a slim majority (really, only two percent more) vote for a constitutional change that effects the rights of many, and it happens. systematically oppressing a minority group. This is digustingand terrifying for us, and many many other groups. Imagine if 51% of the state decided that it would be better if interracial couples shouldn't marry, wrote an initiative, and passed it. Same concept, different minority. I'm on a tirade and I digress.

On this same day, I ran a kayak into a rock. The boat flipped and my poor beloved iPhone and camera (yes this is a materialist complaint) were destroyed.I wasn't that upset about this, until I started readjusting to life without them. Luckily for Mr. Ninny, Frankus and Danger(Space)Kitty delivered devices for contact. Now I'm back in the world, and trying to step up my game. I've had students graduate, and made a quick trip to LA. I wanted to post little nothings of these events to this here Ninnyspot, but I failed. Apparently my new nifty, text a post system isn't functional, even though Blogger says it is. Hrrmmmm.... We'll see.
