I wrote some stuff: "You've got a gift, my friend. Don't hide that in a bushel basket." featuring videos of Wanda Sykes and Jim Gaffigan. Hot Pockets! I absolutely love Murder, She Wrote. I really do. Apparently The Boston Globe has never heard of HBCUs., about black people and educational expectations. Enjoy!

Over at Yes Means Yes Blog, I put up a piece on the trend of charging teens with crimes for "sexting," and especially charging young women with child porn offenses for distributing their own image, titled It Became Necessary To Destroy The Town To Save It. I crossposted it to Feministing Community, where in a discussion I threw out an exemption to the federal child porn statute that would prevent young women from being, in effect, charged with exploiting themselves, which Harper Tobin of Polymorphous Perversity liked and posted, so I put in up at Yes Means Yes here.

As an atheist, I was asked to be a part of a panel on religious oppression for a class at my university. However, it seems like I was duped, with it turning into a debate about beliefs…and I was the only person who didn’t know about this.

I reviewed the latest two episodes of Dollhouse: Man on the Street and Echoes. I also replied to Ann Bauer's Salon article about her autistic son's violence. Finally, my poem Others Dream of Dawn won a contest on Feminist Review.

I wrote about Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz's breast cancer and advocacy. I also wished Gloria Steinem a happy 75th birthday.

I wrote a post about the linguistic validity of Ebonics, and how feelings about ‘talking white’ are much more nuanced than the common claptrap about verbal laziness regarding ‘proper speech.’

In Vegans Against PETA, I write about the fact that Germany has (belatedly) banned the vile Holocaust on Your Plate campaign, and even though PETA once apologized for it they are apparently no longer sorry.

And another one, in response to an article in the Sunday papers: The New Domestic Goddess: is happiness found in a rolling pin?
