Animal Rights 2010 and Creature Quotes
From the never-ending list of things I kept/keep meaning to write about but never did/do…
1. The Animal Rights 2010 National Conference starts next week in D.C. and runs Thursday the 15th through Monday the 20th. I’ll be there from start to finish. If you missed my awkward ramblings as one of the speakers in the Promoting on the Internet session last year, and you’re going to be in D.C., here’s your chance to get in on the “count how many times she nervously laughs” action; I’ll be on the same panel this year. And Vegetarian Summerfest is happening this week in Pennsylvania. I can’t be there. But lots of folks I’d love to see are going to be there. So if you’re going, don’t rub it in, but do hug a bunch of people for me, mkay?
2. Creature Quotes: Animal advocate SBH Clay has been toiling over this impressive labor of love for the last several months, at least. And now (we hope!) she can finally relax and be proud of her effort. Creature Quotes is a beautiful collection, in concept, words, and imagery, full of quotations and excerpts short and long from animal advocates spanning centuries. Check it out. Mary wrote about it over at Animal Person as well. (I should disclose, I suppose, that there are several pages of extracts from my posts, as well as contributions from other AR&AO bloggers, but that’s not why I’m linking to it; it’s just a great project.)

Thank you so much for providing the link to “Creature Quotes”. I am only on chapter 3 and the words provide me with a hope that someday all humans will listen to their inner wisdom and cease devouring the flesh of others. Thank you again. Namaste.
I’ll be at the AR Conference this year since I live in D.C., but I’m not planning to be there for all, probably not even very much of it, unfortunately.
I hope the author would not mind too much… I’m exploring with abandon! Going middle, to back to in-between and front again! There’s so much to learn and explore! I just haven’t the discipline for methodical patience so instead I’m like a kid in a candy store… Creature Quotes is an absolute delight! :)
Good luck on your panel. I’m sure you’ll be great and that your “nervous laughter” is very charming. :-)
