We must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.
It's so ingenious it almost doesn't make sense.
Disclaimer
About ableist language on my blog to any new readers - there is going to be some on old posts (pre November '09, I'd say roughly).
I'm not necessarily proud, but I'm not going to go back and edit the posts to clear them up, even though I want to and go look, I've been a good little activist all along!
But that's a lie and it's disingenuous. It's also a disservice to the few people who do read the posts.
On a personal note, it's a disservice to me. I can go look at my posts from 2008 and compare them to ones in 2010 and see how I've grown as a writer and as a human being. It's nice to see how far we've come in life, you know?
I am truly sorry if anything here hurts somebody, and even if it's on a post from 2006, do not feel shy to tell me - e-mail me at otrumpets at yahoo dot com or comment. (I get a notification with every comment, so if you do comment on an old one, I'll know and reply.)
Thanks for reading.

The story so far:
In the beginning, the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people mad and been widely regarded as a bad idea.

Sooo cute. He looks like a happy little teddy bear.
Oh Monkey Trumpets....
Where are you lately? Where was Thursday's video? Are you okay? Are you in pain? Is the weather so gorgeous you can't find the time to post? Some of us check your blog semi-daily and are worried...
There's an e-mail address available if you click on the picture of Dixie.
otrumpets@yahoo.com
I don't have yours. *whine*
And rebecca m, you are more than welcome to the teddy bear. He was playing with it again yesterday. Unlike Mikey, you can take it from him.
