BUSTED! The Google POLICE.
This morning I signed into my Google+ and was greeted with this.
My soul iced over. The law had finally caught up with me.
I'm guessing the Google Police want me to change my name from "JC Little - The Animated Woman" to simply, "JC Little".
For the record (← haha, see what I did there? record?), I'm not a proponent of total anonymity on the web. But only cuz it seems to be engendering a lack of accountability and irresponsible behavior. Nicknames and pseudonyms are ok, and I appreciate that sometimes we need to protect ourselves. But some folks (Trolls and Haters) tend to hide behind them like some people hide behind hoodies.
So what's next for my G+ account? I'm on review. I had to submit links to my LinkedIN and Facebook to prove I am "JC Little". Can you smell the stinkie poo-poo IRONY?
And if they kick me off....I can promise you one hell of an awesome ass-kicking mofo post. They'll never let me out of Google Jail after that.
I love ya!

The HOODY.
When I was four, my mom bought me a Kangaroo Shirt.
It was called that because it had a pouch to keep your hands warm. If you put the hood up, you were nice and cozy.
It was pale grey and soft, and I loved it.
In the last decade or so, the hoody has become legit baddass street fashion.
It's mainstream.
And if you put the hood up, a measure of anonymity is within reach. You can hide your face and hair colour.
CCTV surveillance cams are easily snubbed...and accountability evaporates.
Nowadays, a person wearing a hoody may cause a ripple of unease and fear, or prejudice against an innocent fashion conscious youth.
The 14 year old daughter took my 11 year old son out shopping for his back-to-school clothes today. They came back with a Kangaroo Shirt. It looks great on him, but I've made him promise to keep the hood down unless his head is cold.
I have worn hoodies for years. What do you think of them?
This is a thoughtful response to Youtube videos of the recent London riots and looting.
