Happy birthday to Zora Neale Hurston!
Zora Neale Hurston, a black writer, ethnographer, presumed lesbian and all-around badass, was born on this day in 1891. Hurston’s most famous work, Their Eyes Were Watching God, is required reading in classrooms across the nation.
Hurston is said to have lived and wrote out of the context of white people, meaning that she did not study black people in relation to white people, but black people as their own, independent culture. She also opposed the Supreme Court decision on Brown v. the Topeka Board of Education, which integrated schools and declared “separate is not equal,” because she believed it told black teachers that they were not good enough to teach black students.
She also heavily studied the voodoo and hoodoo culture in New Orleans and was an up-and-comer during the Harlem Renaissance. Her works, which fell into oblivion following her death, were revived by Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple.

Matt Barber on Barack Obama's Hiring of a Transgendered Bureaucrat
According to the New Republic today, Matt Barber, an associate dean at the Orwellian named Liberty University, had the following response on hearing that a transgendered person had been hired to work in the federal bureaucracy:
[It] boggles the mind.
What boggles my mind is that anyone’s mind would be boggled at the thought of a transgendered person with a job. If, for example, sexually, you’re a male, but you live in the gender aura of the feminine, wearing women’s clothing, are you hereby unemployable?
Why?

Housewives of Northwest Arkansas and Bravo Television
We reported last year that rumors were swirling that casting staff and producers were in town from Bravo-TV looking for frustrated housewives to star in a new twist of that Bravo show, “Housewives”.
We’re sorry to report that last week’s rumors were false that the show got the greenlight from Bravo.
There will be no Housewives of Northwest Arkansas television show on Bravo this season. I guess I’ll just cancel my cable subscription.

The Aborable Diner
The diner was in fact, adorable and the food was great to boot. We proceeded with our usual small talk which consisted of weather, work, and her new boyfriend. I was happy to discuss her happiness, because she wasn’t focusing on me and what see liked to refer to as my “shortcomings.” She would always tell me where she was at age 20 – which apparently was not living with her mom and working in a record store to pay for school.
“How is your friend Alex doing?” She asked.
“Oh, umm, she’s fine.” I said rather curiously. My mother usually never asks about my friends.
“Are you guys doing anything this weekend?” She asked.
“I don’t know, London has a pal visiting from out-of-town.” I said, “We probably all will take in a movie or something.”
“Well, that sounds nice.” She said then put her hands in her lap. She took a deep breathe, “I wanted to ask you something.”
I knew it, “What’s that?” I started to take a drink of my soda.
“Are you and Alex a couple?” She asked as if she was asking if I had cancer.
My soda came out of my nose. “Alexandra?”
“Yes, are you a lesbian?” She said seriously this time. I was too busy laughing. “Valentine, this is not a laughing matter.”
“Yes it is. No, I am not a lesbian. Yes, Alex is, but I’m not.” I said, finally claiming down from laughing.
“I was only asking because you spend so much time with her, and you haven’t had a boyfriend in a long time.”I couldn’t help but giggle.
“Yeah, thanks for reminding me.” I replied. I hadn’t had a boyfriend since I was 18. Not for a lack of trying, I just the one I was interested at the time was somewhat geographically undesirable living six hours away and I was rather busy with other things like work, college, and did I mention work.
“I’m sorry, but, I was talking to Marline. And she said that girls who hang out with other lesbians become lesbians.” She said a matter of factly. Marline, my mother’s friend was a nice enough lady, but where she got her information from is anyone’s guess.
“Ah, well, you can tell Marline that I am not a lesbian.” I said with a slight giggle. “Although, will my luck with guys maybe I should consider girls.”
My mother looked mortified.
“Too soon?”
