Alley Rat

Indiana, Oh Indiana…

I don’t have a blog, or a livejournal, or anything fancy like that; I’m just a lady who gets paid to read books and write papers and teach other kids how to read and write papers. Or at least I’m training for it. So I often read the blogs of my fellow-women in education, and [...]

I know how hard it is to be you

My blog is called Redfish for no particular reason. I’m a student at the University of Toronto majoring in classics and classical civilization. I love everything about the classics program. In fact, I love it so much that I’m aiming for grad school (fingers crossed!) I’ve just started to visit feministe, but I love the [...]

Cheating’s allowed right?

Working under the assumption that the only rule to guest blogging is that there are no rules, I’m going to publish something I posted on my blog last month. It was in honor of my sister’s 23rd birthday. As the NBC promos used to say, “If you haven’t seen it before, it’s new to you!” [...]

Random stuff from the Random Liberal

So. My name is Robert. I actually comment as randomliberal (though I don’t comment anywhere all that often), but I sign my blog, Random Liberal, as Robert. My partner in crime–Joshua–and I had gone about five months without posting there until last week; hence, the dearth of posts. Sorry. We’re slackers. We mostly post about [...]

Open Blogging on Women and Expectations

I’m Erin of the fshk blog, which has recently taken a swing from every day minutiae to politics and feminism because, despite attempts to ignore, I just can’t anymore. (Also, my mom helms the far more famous mahablog, and knows a think or two about where the women bloggers are.) It’s pretty awesome to have [...]

Big & Beautiful

Intro: I’m Trish and I’m normally at Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman. Thanks Lauren for giving us all the chance to guest-blog! I thought I’d take this opportunity to share a link. Leonard Nimoy has taken a series of beautiful photographs of large nude women. Note that this link will lead you to photographs of [...]

Google Bombing and the “Culture of Life”

Hi! I’m Aldahlia. Ms. Lauren’s recent “Culture of Life” series of posts, got me to thinking about a little thing known as “Google Bombing.” Essentially, it’s manipulating enough links to affect Google’s page-ranking system. Like, what (mostly) bloggers have done with “miserable failure.” What I’m proposing, is indeed… a link-based high-jacking of the question “where [...]

another feminist blogger

I just discovered this blog (yay!), and I am way too intrigued by the idea of open guest blogging not to jump in. How trusting! Maybe some day I’ll try the same. My blog: I have been blogging since July. My own blog (knit me more time…) started kind of as a knitting blog, but [...]

Book Review: The Art of Raising a Puppy

I know that Lauren blogs every Friday about her cat, so I thought I would share what I think is a wonderful book on caring for your puppy. The authors of this book shocked me at first, as they are monks from upstate New York! Their approach to raising a puppy uses a lot of [...]

Just happy to be me, thanks. Pass the pie.

Quick Intro: Hi, I’m Poppy. I’m a computer technician with a degree in psychology. I’m also a wanna-be freelance writer and photographer in what passes for my free time. Like Alleyrat, I’m cheating – this was originally posted in my cheesy little LiveJournal account a year ago. I regularly post prose and poetry, along with [...]

If you are offended by sex, or by women speaking graphically about sex, go away now. } In the April issue of Playgirl Magazine ( I get it for the articles!) there’s an interview with Candida Royale.

Open Blogging on Race and Gangs

My name is Lenka, and I usually blog over at farkleberries. I’ve been a fan of Feministe for quite some time, and although I don’t tend to blog much on feminist issues at my place, it is an issue near and dear to my heart. I hope someday I can articulate my views on the [...]
