    This is the best rose I’ve ever shot in my entire life.

    No, really.

    I have an urgent and compelling post up at The WAAGNFNP Blog about the insidious influence of children’s cereal box characters, all of whom are shown to be gay. Fortunately, I also have a stirring plan to bring teh heterosexy back to the youth of America. I usually think that what I write is crap, but this is pretty good.

    Argh.

    It’s actually here. The other pic is nice, but not a rose …

    I didna write it, but I found Twisty’s post about so called ‘feminist’ porn absolutely fabulous, and a must-read. Highly recommended.

    I wrote a post in response to yours on hormones in formula.

    Plus, I’m begging for money on account of being laid off.

    Oh, and my daughter is cute. Just thought you all should know.

    I mourn the end of civilisation as we know it – text message Shakespeare and ponder equality and development, passing by self-identification.

    After going to a lovely wedding this weekend, I’ve been thinking about what it might mean to have a ceremony that can avoid alienating queer folks in the audience. Thus, how we wed.

    I just posted my reason for getting a passport – so I can leave the country if we lose the right to abortion. Name link goes to whole journal, post is here.

    Um, well, I got a really fucking weird comment about the whole Asian female/white male phenomenon that provided, among other things, a whole new level of inside jokes for the beau and I.

    Oh, and I have a picture of a rose too. :) Though I think Furrycatherder’s is nicer, because mine’s all … pink, n’ stuff.

    Hmm I wasn’t sure what to plug this week, but in the end I’ve decided on this – it’s about International Workers’ Memorial Day, April 28th, and how people shouldn’t be getting sick or killed because of their work.

    Well, most of my stuff isn’t feminist or liberal oriented. It’s mostly primitivist/anti-civilization stuff. But a few days ago, I wrote up a post about my venturing out for the first time with unshaven legs and underarms. And at the end, there’s the money shot of my hairy pits. Very sexy.

    Well, it also helps if I put the link in the comment. Duh.

    I share the best – and funniest – response I’ve seen to the Supreme Court’s recent Gonzales v. Carhart decision on the federal abortion ban.

    And I take a hard look at California’s prison system that allows the rich to pay for posh digs at the expense of everyone else.

    A Woman Walks Into A Bar…, in which I attempt to talk about what’s so frustrating about “What About The Men?” in response to Feminist and Women’s Issues writing.

    I’m actually fairly happy with my take-down of William Saletan’s most recent “pro-choice”-but-really-anti-choice column in Sunday’s Slate/Washington Post. He moralizes that it’s okay to force women who are seeking abortions to view ultrasounds because it reveils the truth of what they are about to do to their bodies. And he’s supposed to be pro-choice!

    Is it possible for the reproductive rights collective to stop William Saletan from representing himself as “pro-choice” in media outlets everywhere? He’s becoming the “pro-choice” version of the “Joe Lieberman democrat.”

    Catrina, I read that column. It left me utterly confused. I’m glad someone read it and was as unsettled as I was!

    After reading Samhita’s post about her conflicted feelings about hip-hop and misogyny, I wrote a post about how hard it is to be critical of things we’re invested in liking.

    A-men, Catrina. Saletan is important to keep an eye on. His obsession with women’s wombs is more than unsettling, no?

    My post is nothing special, but I would like to here more people’s thoughts on the state of Ohio trying to backhandedly force srippers out of business after being pressured by conservative christian groups….

    ahem, strippers. sorry.

    I wrote another post in a series about women as sex metaphors that I’m doing, based on something I found in a post on this blog.

    I wrote about an Amnesty International survey on abuse of women in Norway: Shocking misogyny in Norway

    It got some play in the Danish media (and the Norwegian media as well, obviously), because the results were surprising.

    I made a nice little graphical timeline of Thomas Friedman’s stupidity re: Iraq.

    I don’t have a lot myself, but Riverbend has decided to leave Iraq.

    For my own blog, I’ll go with a post on a couple of famous cases of people getting trigger happy with guns.

    I was pretty proud of my (small) post on The intersection of murder, videogames, and media, but I didn’t generate much discussion. :(

    ballastexistenz has a great collection of links related to Disability blog carnival #13 about the boxes people get put into. Her own entry is long but well worth the read.

    Perhaps my first post of substance. At least the first post of substance that I didn’t feel horribly insecure about.

    My blog less than two weeks old, and I just wrote a post (a critique of an article supposedly “dispelling” media myths about women) that I particularly like.

    Selling Anxiety . . . and Heteronormativity?

    I’ve started to explore the effects of the passive voice in reports of sexualised violence, in Passive Aggression: Foregrounding the Object.

    This was triggered by reading a snippet of research which found: “When men read rape and battery stories written in the passive voice, they attributed less blame to the perpetrator – and less harm to the victim – than for the active-voice versions. The effect was specific to sexual violence: verb voice did not alter how men viewed murders or robberies.”

    Now I’m seeing the passive voice everywhere, and it’s making my teeth itch.
