TN Turtle time

Wednesday, November 30th, 2005

Okay so there is an interesting dynamic going on with the turtles. First off we have no idea what sex either of these turtles are. Zeus is larger than Caspian in size and generally dominates the tank. Sometimes Zeus gets in Caspians face and takes it’s hand/fins and waves them in Caspians face. Lisa says that Zeus is bitch slapping Caspian.
I think that Caspian sort of likes it. Caspian doesn’t move or try to get out of the way when Zeus is doing the “wave in face” action. So I was wondering if it was like tickling the face kind of movement.
Today Shanthi our 2 and a half year old neighbor came over to look at the turtles and when Zeus climbed out of the water she cried out “There he is” and when Caspian stuck it’s head out of the water she yelped” Oh she’s cute”
So whe are confused. Any thoughts???

I am concerned

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

I am concerned
about the unconcerned
about the twisted thoughts
that warp, rack and become ingrained in the soul
for generations
I am concerned
about deception and how it mixes with power
leading you to believe you are better than
I am concerned
that equality is still misssing
I am outraged
that we think that is okay
I am a woman
living in the United States
I pay homage to all that have come before me
fighting for the voice of women, men and humanity
From them and with them I speak
and I will not shut up.
I am concerned
