I wrote about women’s surfing, the NEA’s findings on the paygap between male and female artists, the on-going fight for control of our own bodies, and female directors and actresses in 2008, http://unconscious-and-irrational.blogspot.com/

This month I'm doing retrospectives on the 10th anniversary of the officer-involved shooting of Tyisha Miller. Miller was killed by four police officers in my city while laying in medical distress in her car on Dec. 28, 1998 and was shot at least 24 times and hit 12 times in a matter of seconds after the officers and their sergeant arrived. Then afterward, the officers hi-fived and joked about it and according to another officer onscene, made racist remarks. Like how it would ruin the family's Kwanzaa and they shot her with "black bullets". Incidentally, one officer who made racial remarks is no longer in LE and may be going to prison in connection with a conviction for felony assault while offduty. This posting was one I wrote yesterday. This posting was the first in the series.

Rhode Island does not criminalize indoor prostitution. It is alleged that illegal Korean immigrants are being held as slaves in ‘massage parlors’ A documentary film maker went to the women and asked them about their lives. No one dares to show the film–it does not fit anyone’s agenda and no one comes off looking good.

I'm always a day late! But the anti-equality fundy bigotry has been coming fast, furious, and freakishly stupid this week, and I'll keep mocking it as long as they keep writing it. The first Fundamentally Flawed Reader Challenge: Are you cleverer than a bigot? And I've added a Glossary of Gayosity to the site, defining and linking some of my favorite neologisms unwittingly coined by the homophobic idiots who contribute to my blog! (It's a good intro to the site if you've never visited....)

Alright, I'm shameless enough to self-promote on a Monday - here's what we've been writing about at The Feminist Underground: 1. Vintage Sexism: Pop Science from Centuries Past 2. Sexual assault in ambulances 3. A little feminist moment that made me smile.

I’ve been trying to figure out what’s been going on in Greece this past week:

I finally watched the documentary "Demographic Winter" and am writing a series of posts on it. The film is about how declining fertility rates in the West (and a few "other" industrial countries) could lead to the extinction of certain kinds of people, i.e. whites. The cause of the fertility decline? Progressive causes. The solution? Patriarchy. I WISH I WAS KIDDING.

I made some chocolate cupcakes this week. Mini ones with chocolate icing and classic ones with Bailey's buttercream. On Friday night I went out to see Ohbijou (from Toronto) and The Acorn (from Ottawa) perform. It was an amazing show and I was right up against the stage so I got somr great photos!
