		<title>Listening to music on my television</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Interconnectivity is the feature creep of our age. Facebook&#8217;s resurgence and now blatant armed takeover of online content means that every piece of text you enter, tag, or share, which is the same thing, pins a data chip in the 360-degree portrait of your marketable self. You are now either a consumer searchable by gadget, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=michelletackabery.net&amp;blog=7695630&amp;post=725&amp;subd=tackjournal&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>Stop forgiving</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I was personally asked to support a Wolfpack basketball player who is going through rehab for a severe spinal cord injury. I decided not to send money to his rehab fund. Why talk publicly about that? Because the details matter. When news of this player&#8217;s injury was announced, I was flamed on StateFans for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=michelletackabery.net&amp;blog=7695630&amp;post=721&amp;subd=tackjournal&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Smell of Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been reading William T. Vollman&#8216;s The Royal Family on my Kindle. It is an addictive read, but a long, indulgent slog &#8212; I find myself wanting to stop reading but unable to, like the lost crack- and smack-addicted whores in the San Francisco Tenderloin hell Vollman has brought to life here. I&#8217;ve read [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=michelletackabery.net&amp;blog=7695630&amp;post=707&amp;subd=tackjournal&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>Exposure therapy, Tackabery style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have made a promise to myself that I will work on my book five days of the week. Not necessarily the week days or the equivalent hours to a five-workday week, but just in order to keep proceeding to that goal. As it is with all the writing I’ve done for pay, there is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=michelletackabery.net&amp;blog=7695630&amp;post=405&amp;subd=tackjournal&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>Atsür scores 25 in bronze-medal victory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apparently taking &#8220;don&#8217;t give up, don&#8217;t ever give up,&#8221; to heart, Engin Ats&#252;r scored a team-high 25 points to lead Turkey to a bronze-medal victory in the finals of the Mediterranean Games in Pescara, Italy.

		<title>Columbine writer struggled with PTSD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past couple of weeks I’ve been participating in a discussion on Goodreads with Dave Cullen, the writer of Columbine. Dave wrote about the Columbine incident for Salon.com and his book was very, very powerful.

		<title>Avoidance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been avoiding my blog. Avoidance is a common coping mechanism for people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); you want to stay away from the things you know will upset you. But like just about everything else I can think of, avoidance has a dark side. Avoidance can be the crutch that keeps you away [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=michelletackabery.net&amp;blog=7695630&amp;post=400&amp;subd=tackjournal&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
