Friday, May 27, 2011. Around the Globe with CYNTHIA POLANSKY. 1 Who is Cynthia Polansky and what makes you the most fascinating person in your city? What makes Cynthia Polansky fascinating is her unpredictability. I seem to constantly surprise people with my interests and projects.

The New Chapter Has Begun. Proposition 8: A Rant. October 23, 2008 at 8:53 am ( Uncategorized. Evidently, I’m not very good at blogging. This is unfortunate, as I’d like to be blogging more regularly. Work has been busy, and my job is so writing-heavy that I’m not particularly in the mood to write more when I come home. So for those of you out there who are still reading (are there any of you? I promise to try harder. Why is this relevant? And I know that some people don’t see it as a civil rights issue,...

The New Chapter Has Begun. September 16, 2008 at 11:21 pm ( Uncategorized. As exhausted as I might be right now, going to work today felt amazing. Even if it’s just a freelance gig lasting for the next week and a half, it’s paid work. And it’s a reason to get dressed and leave my apartment at a reasonable time of day, which is always a good thing. That’s not what I wanted to post about tonight, though. September 13, 2008, 2:01 pm. This is Your Nation on White Privilege. White privilege is when you can ge...

It’s asking me for a URI? Yeah, maybe in the future, there will be some other way I want to point you to my website rather than my URL but seriously, URI? Just trying to add some controversy.

Seven years later | The New Chapter Has Begun
https://lavendermenace.wordpress.com/2008/09/11/seven-years-later

I’ll admit it — my initial reason for agreeing to go when he asked if I’d accompany him was because I’d heard that Obama and McCain were also going to be there. I agree that’s a lame reason, and if it makes me a terrible person, I apologize. Honestly, I felt really guilty for thinking it would be otherwise. In co...

The New Chapter Has Begun. Proposition 8: The Aftermath. November 5, 2008 at 11:12 pm ( Uncategorized. I went to bed last night with conflicted emotions rushing through me. I was ecstatic about Obama winning the presidential race, but the numbers for Proposition 8 were making me worried. Still, it was early. There was time for things to change. I’m still emotional over this, and I doubt many of us will be able to shake this uncomfortable feeling for awhile. But feeling down doesn’t accomp...While I don&#...

https://lavendermenace.wordpress.com/2008/09/26/a-virtual-stimulation
The New Chapter Has Begun. September 26, 2008 at 6:53 pm ( Uncategorized. Weird things on the internet. Okay Sometimes technology is just really weird. Take this, for instance: Virtual boob simulator for the iPhone. The virtual boob simulator is here to entertain you for hours on end (or, I guess, until your battery dies). If you know me, you know that I’m a big fan of boobs (like, a. Fan) I think they’re just great. But is this really necessary? As sensual as, you know, an actual breast. I think you mig...
