This isn’t self-promotion; I just couldn’t find any other reasonable place on this website to suggest that Feministe should link to this feminism-and-technology blog I recently stumbled across: http://www.differenceengines.com. Not the most active, but thoughtful.

OMG, totally not trying to spam, but I just made a poll that I really want people to take: Do you feel that there is a significant level of misogyny at work in your heterosexual relationships? I won't post anymore links until next week ;)

Ugh, I should have noted that the last three are not at Change, but at random babble…, my regular home blog. Wev.

My latest at Change: This Just In: Sex Isn't Going to Destroy You! On how any feminist minded person could have told you what the University of Minnesota found out, without a fancy study. Military Just Another in a Long Line of Victim Blamers Instead of protecting her from threats of harm in the first place, the military wastes resources trying to extradite a deserter from Canada. Nolite Umquam Oblivisci is a picture tribute to those who lost their lives at the attack on Pearl Harbor. What Pictures Can't Tell You You can't always tell from a picture what a person's racial identity is. Thoughts on being bi-racial. (photo possibly NSFW) The Power of a Lie is some random babble about how Words Mean Things, and how some will twist them to their own purposes, and that sometimes our best reaction is to sit quietly and wait for the the truth to will out. Because it will. Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

This is Why I Love Prostitutes In response to their local representatives' attempt to thwart a potential bump in business, the Sex Workers Interest Group (SIO) has co-opted the postcards as a marketing tool by announcing that anyone who brings one to the group along with their COP15 ID badge will get to indulge in sex workers' services for free! Why Lady Gaga is Important for Gay Women As an incredible gay advocate and in the public eye in a huge way, Lady Gaga's mere mentioning of bisexuality and embracing of living as openly queer is a great form of visibility. Notre Dame Hires Pro-Choice Catholic as New Football Coach The University of Notre Dame has hired Brian Kelly away from the University of Cincinnati to be its new football coach. Kelly, a pro-choice Catholic with extraordinary coaching skill and success, takes the job just six months after the a strong segment of the Notre Dame community protested President Obama's commencement address at the premiere Catholic university, citing Obama's pro-choice beliefs as its point of discontent. Constructing Feminist Motherhood Although the topic being explored is not a new one, Meera uses her professional training to craft a work that offers a distinct vantage point through which to view this particular struggle. Building the self isn't so different than building a literal, physical structure, and everything constructed needs a solid foundation from which to grow.

The Price of Jumping Class
An Angle of Vision, edited by Vanderbilt University Associate Professor of English Lorraine M. Lopez, is a collection of essays from women writers who grew up in the poor and working classes. The contributors to this book — including Sandra Cisneros, Dorothy Allison, Joy Harjo, Judith Ortiz Cofer, Bich Minh Nguyen and Joy Castro — explore the complex love-hate relationships they have with their current workplaces, what they learned from work they’ve done in the past and how both serve as a kind of binding liberation. The sentiment present in these works remains grounded in the reality that “making it” comes with a price: “dual class citizenship” or an outsider status whereby they do not fully belong to one class or another.
