Just in case you want to nominate me for any particular posts for cultural commentary anecdotes at the UU Blog awards, I’ve skimmed through the last year’s writing and picked out some favorites:

In Cultivating Religious Skin, I recount an experience with zealotry at a spa while naked for a facial (Why? Explain the nakedness.) Enter the Extractor. Aee!

In This is Not About Starr King, I tell the story of how I said, “That sucks!” in reference to a financial aid package at a seminary while considering UU ministry and was told I was being homophobic. I did not point out that anyone can suck, but probably should have. Instead, a decade or so later, I consulted the OED and made my point (Yes, much like George Costanza with the shrimp joke, I cannot let it go.)

Free Samples in which I stop doing work for free. Except, of course, on this blog. And volunteer work. And other stuff. But I stop doing paid work for free! It was an important step.

Southwest Doesn’t Like Breasts and Policing Women’s Attire were written during that weird period of time in the summer of 2007 when Southwest flight attendants kicked women off of planes for being scantily clad. Clearly they had never been to Abercrombie & Fitch.

The Sexualized Workplace describes the nature of a specific type of harassment that seems popular at the liberal darling, American Apparel. I hate them. I’m a hater.

And then there were the Job Titles series of posts on titles, tasks, and authority: Editor, Artist, Teacher, Doctors, Lawyers, and Minsters, oh my! I thought those were pretty good. Thorough, at least.

And the No China Diet: General Thoughts, Motivation, Overcoming Objections, Where Does Your Food Come From?, What Trader Joe’s Says, Food, Reading Labels on Food. That’s probably enough for anyone of my China tirade.

You can nominate them on the UU Awards. You don’t need to be a UU as far as I know. Ms. Kitty said so. And you don’t have to nominate me. I said so.
