Not a favorite of many of you out there, I know, but bear with me. The Happy Hausfrau kicked the bucket six weeks ago. They struggled to haul her into a casket and shipped her off to la-la land. In her place arrived an early-rising, coffee-swigging non-profit slave, also known as The Automaton around these parts.On her first day of paid work, she encountered an epileptic fit, dialed 911 and discovered a stash of tequila bottles in her desk drawer. Good times.
So yes, forgive me if words and saying hello to you guys are not priorities at present time. I hope we can still be friends. And Merry Christmas in advance.
In other exciting news, remember CSA Awareness Month in April? The good folks who comprised the core team will be hosting another awareness effort starting tomorrow and running through October.
We all know it exists. We’ve all shared the stories in some hushed and some outraged tones. Here’s your chance to join in as we push awareness into cloud space and encourage our friends to identify, acknowledge and resist the numerous forms violence can take.
My brand of feminism, in addition to my personal experiences, does not permit me to only call this Violence Against Women. Hence the sub-title Women Against Violence. And, I fervently hope, men and transgenders too.
Do hop over. Read. Contribute. Link up. Share. Refer the site to a friend in need.
At the very least, know this resource is out there, should anybody you know need it. Even though it is my ardent wish that you never will.
Back to Automaton mode. Over and out.

Dear Automaton, Hope you are good to our OJ, and let her out sometimes to write to us. In which case I will wish you well. Since I’m a Woman Against Violence I really can’t threaten you with dire consequences. Just let OJ out sometimes. All the very very best.
OJ, am borrowing your tag line- women against violence. It makes it so complete- linking to your post.
dipali: Sure, Dipali. 🙂
well said OJ!
I tagged you OJ…just blogged about this cause. Thank you for spreading the cause
