Rats! I missed the what-are-you-doing part - I spent some time with a friend who needed some friendship. I am now in San Jose at the NetSquared conference. As per usual, I have been writing at Make Something Happen. It has been great to go back and see everything that everyone is writing.

Feminist Review just started a monthly interview feature, and the first is with Amy Richards about her new book Opting In: Having a Child Without Losing Yourself. As for what I've been up to this weekend, it's my last weekend in my apartment so I've been selling off all of my stuff.

I seriously love reading what all you gals are writing about. It's awesome. I wrote a few things, but I guess the top two on my grrr list were entries I wrote yesterday morning: 1) On the 270 immigrants being mass-sentenced to federal prison a mere 12 days after their arrest. 2) On Amanda Marcotte saying offensive POC shit. Again.

I wrote about the resignation of Irmo High School's homophobic principal, Eddie Walker.

I have written a whole lot having just started my blog and having a whole lot to say. Please check me out at Uncensored Feminista. What have I done this weekend? Studied. :/ I've had a lot of studying to catch up on so that's what my weekend consisted of. Besides, it's been raining and all around nasty down here in Miami, so there really hasn't been much of a reason to go out.

A few posts that might be of interest to Feministe readers: 1) An upcoming summit in Vancouver on women's economic security 2) Of boys, girls, and the crisis in American public education 3) Care Talk, a blog about the "care sector" 4) Iceland and the importance of paternity leave' 5) The capital gap (a sibling of the wage gap) - but be sure to read the comments, there is some solid criticism of my source 6) A bit about Amy Smith, a super cool engineer and inventor who develops low-cost technology for the developing world I live in Canada, so no long weekend for me, except the usual extended weekend that is courtesy of my class schedule. I spent it studying, and I also rented How She Move, a fun and feminist dance movie set and filmed in Toronto. Check it out!

Well this semester I finished my senior thesis on global feminist, anti-capitalist/imperialist work. Some great groups you should check out are MADRE , and the Ananya Dance Theater . Speaking of if you are ever in Minnesota and they are performing you should go check them out, they are fantastic.

I echo PhysioProf on both lateness and the coolitude of Feministe's Shameless Self-Promotion bits. 1. I wrote a guide on approaching women in bars without being a total asshole, a skill that apparently escapes many, many guys. 2. Classes are finally over, so I read for pleasure for the first time in months! It was glorious!
