A few announcements, concerning the activities of various friends of mine:

Mention the First
amurphyhiscock has announced a release date for Out of the Broom Closet, a new anthology in which “fifty contributors share their stories of how they discovered their spiritual path, the obstacles they faced, the reactions of their colleagues, family, and friends, and the ongoing challenge of staying honest with themselves and the Divine.”

I am one of the contributors! As are several friends of mine, including erynn999, and blaackangel (who runs Hamilton Pagan Pride Day, one of the largest one-day pagan events on this continent). More info about the book here.

Mention the Second
I really, really like this new blog, Pinch Pennies Save Planet. Yes, a friend of mine of 12+ years is the author.

Mention the Third
brandondedicant, regular reader of this blog and contributor to its comments, asked me if I would be willing to mention Genocide Prevention Month here. He also tells me that he’s helping to organise a genocide prevention ritual, which he described as follows: “It’s an interfaith event of numerous rituals happening worldwide throughout the month of April. Groups and solitaries alike can participate. It will also be performed at the Trillium festival in Virginia.”

Mention the Fourth
By popular demand: well, actually, by request of a friend who emailed me to ask for my opinion about my own Question of the Week: I’ll say a few words about about it shortly. But when this morning I sat down to write a blog post about it, and within an hour it was 2,000 words long, I thought I had better find a more succinct way to say it. Meanwhile, have a look at what Gus DiZerega had to say about a similar topic.

And now, I must get back to marking essays.
