Deep Thoughts
It’s Halloween. Why not? Too many bars on the Lower East Side? Awww, fuck you. (Gawker mentions Dark Room, Tenement and Motor City Bar; I prefer Dark Room, Tenement, and Punch & Judy. But fine minds will differ). The legend unfolds. I *heart* dogs. Especially small dogs in costume. Don’t know what to be for [...]

Yesterday night at the law school fall ball, not one, not two, but three different people I had never met came up to me and said that they read Feministe and recognized me from it.
