Raising a Progressive-Minded Kid
Thanks to conversations like this, I’ve been thinking about progressive parenthood and what I can do to ease my son’s confusion about the world around him. My boy just turned ten years old (long time readers of this blog, yes, you are old) and he is an absolute joy. He’s still affectionate with his mama, [...]

Have I ever mentioned that I played softball? For like ten years? Because it was a huge part of my childhood and one of the reasons feminism came so easily to me. Spend all your free time in a team sport while Growing Up Girl and tell me that feminism won’t come easily to you, [...]

Because mothers are more than their children or grocery shopping habits, I’d imagine they tend to check their email, conduct business, and make phone calls too. Was that on the survey?

Thanks to the blog troubles I’m a bit late in posting this, but do check out the film reviews of several popular horror movies of interest to feminists at Feminist Themes, including reviews of Carrie, Teeth, Rosemary’s Baby, and Misery. Me? I’ve been working on a comprehensive feminist review of The Craft for like four [...]

Since I started knitting primarily with wool, my hands have been cracking and my nails have been falling apart. My hands look like a cross between an ancient mummy’s and an alien’s. During the monthly jaunt to the health food store, I ran across Badger Body Butter. My hands actually feel human again. And who [...]

Not feeling like blogging this weekend. I finally got a monitor and have procrastinated on setting it up, in part because that means moving the last gargantuan thing out of the office and my foot still hurts after the torn ligament/basement stairs incident. And in part because I’ve been busy knitting a shirt/sweater that ended [...]

Mitch Daniels, Republican Indiana governor, got rather testy today in response to a Democrat walk-out, effectively killing 80+ bills. Some of these bills were completely bogus, but alas, others were legit. Chuck sez: [Daniels and state Republicans are] especially pissed because the walk-out-so-the-chamber-doesn’t-have-quorum maneuver has been employed by their own party as recently as, well, [...]

Since the regular computer with all the music files is broken, I’m resorting to my wee mp3 player in which only fifteen music files are stored. This is the stuff I jog to. 1. The Kleptones – Bite 2. Bone Thugs and Notorious B.I.G. – Notorious Thugs 3. Too Short – Gettin’ It 4. Pharcyde [...]

Alas, no pictures as all my ftp info is on the other computer. But there is quite an interesting development in the Pablo saga. Since Pablo got home from the vet, he’s picked up a rather annoying habit of laying on the edge of the couch, flipping his head over, and scraping his forehead against [...]

Praise be to God who pities wankers and has mercy on miserable bastards. Praise be to God who pours his blessing on reactionary warheads and racists. Krista has the rest.

If you don’t take the “specious marketing survey“, you don’t exist. Take it so we aren’t up to our ears in another debunking campaign in three months. Via Antigone at XX.
