A Progressive Warrior Queen-Isn't That an Oxymoron?


In case you don't know the story of Boadicea (Boudicca), in a nutshell it goes like this.

Boadicea's tribe, the Iceni, lived peacefully as a client tribe under Roman rule. After her husband's death corrupt Roman officials reneged on the agreement that left the Iceni in peace. When Boadicea, still the leader of her tribe, went to protest this, she was flogged and her daughters were raped before her eyes.

She returned to her tribe and raised a rebellion against the Romans that was short lived, brutal, and ended in her death.

Understand, I'm not looking to raze Colchester, or leave piles of bodies behind me. However, the Radical Right Religionists and the Corporate sponsors of the Chattel Society have declared war on us who are "others".

 
I say we fight back.  Right now, I'm fighting back primarily at Texas Kaos. Please come join me.

Podcast Fridays: Stars In Your Eyes Edition

« H E Boadicea :: email
posted Friday, 13 June 2008

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us Growing up in AZ meant a lot of nights with clear skies for stargazing, and a vital astronomy community anchored by the University of AZ.

So I have a fondness for astronomy buffs who've picked up the podcast microphone to enlighten, educate, and share the amazement of what we find when we turn our gaze out into the stars.

Astronomy Cast: Fraser Cain, publisher of Universe Today, and astronomer Dr. Pamela L. Gay, of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, have a great rapport in this fun and informative podcast suitable for astronomers from middle school to mid life.

For video podcasts, one of my favorites is The Beautiful Universe images from the Chandra X-Ray telescope. Between that and the NASA/JPL video podcasts, you may feel like your swimming through the stars like some exotic space creature.

Remember the anti-nausea meds if you're prone to motion sickness...

Happy Friday. What are you listening to or watching?
