Words From a Wicked Woman

You may have noticed that there have been no new postings to this blog in almost two weeks. That is due to both personal and medical issues back-to-back. Although I do not post about my personal life, it is not unknown for me to keep readers abreast of whatever medical difficulties I am having if they interfere with the writing of this blog. Sorry, but that simply isn’t possible in this instance. This one has the potential to be very serious and is definitely very personal.

The medical issue befell me as I was working on an intriguing issue: the objection of some to the inclusion of transgender people in federal hate crimes legislation. Ironically, the piece was almost finished but for a comment or two from official sources when I became ill. I am still working on getting those sources to speak on the record even as I’m laying in bed wishing that I had the mental and physical energy to get back to that thing I love–writing. I do anticipate being back at some point next week, but, as much as I don’t want to admit it, that date could change also.

So, until I can get back to you, be well; be safe, and; continue to think critically.
