Check out the WAM online auction. Among items up for grabs:
-A dinner with Maria Hinojosa (who, by the way, was one of my early feminist idols — I used to listen to her on the radio, and read her book Raising Raul in my first Women’s Studies class).
-Sarah Haskins recording your outgoing voicemail message
-Meeting Lily Tomlin, Cyndi Lauper or Tegan & Sara
-Photos by Elon James or Kate Clinton
-Your manuscript edited by Katha Pollitt, Kate Harding or Rebecca Traister
-Posters signed by a variety of feminist authors
-The blazer off of Melissa Hariss Lacewell’s back
-Lunch with Baratunde Thurston and a tour of The Onion
-Guitars signed by Ani DiFranco, Emmylou Harris or Patty Griffin
And much, much more. To make it even better, all of the proceeds go towards a fantastic organization.
I’ve mentioned that I accept bribes, right?
OMG, bell hooks signed poster: do want.
OMG. My girlfriend’s birthday is coming up, I’m definitely going to keep an eye on Melissa Harris-Lacewell’s blazer.
I totally want that bell hooks poster.
Oh, man. If I were a wealthier person, I would bid on the Lily Tomlin tickets and meetup for my parents. She is *such* a cool lady.
