Queer bunnies

[nullalux]

Thanks to montrealais for this Adrienne Arsenault link. Excerpt: And earlier in the day, a prominent rabbi called homosexuals "subhuman." He publicly declared they would all be reincarnated as rabbits.

I'm not sure why he chose rabbits and he never really explained it. But the poor man had no idea what he started. The light bulbs must have gone off in a hundred heads at once. Surely, the text messages were flying.

Because everywhere you turn at this party someone else has managed to dig up a pair of bunny ears to wear proudly. The park before me is awash in fluffy, droopy ears silhouetted against the night sky and bouncing up and down to the music.

Even the Israeli soldier found a pair. He's in uniform, rabbit ears askew, arms draped over his boyfriend, who is beaming. Other than the clearly frustrated rabbi, who doesn't like bunnies?

Okay, I cleaned out my car and I'm feeling more like myself. I have to remind myself occasionally that I have been productive this summer, and I still have a few more weeks before the school year tolls its bell of all-encompassing grading and lesson-planning. I should savor these weeks; for the subsequent nine months I will not be able to watch a movie without my laptop glued in place. I won't be able to get through dinner without regaling tutordennis and threetimes with tales from the classroom. My reading time will be taken up with pedagogical texts instead of fiction and Latin poetry. Ah, the halcyon days of gardening, making lemonade from our tree, beer-saturated barbecuing in the backyard, and other pleasures, will soon be past.

A project for which I must make time, however, is crocheting a new afghan for Geo in time for winter. If you know a good yarn store, let me know. Or if you have good resources for our winter holiday project: glass etching (drinking glasses, and the like).
