Well, that last post was kind of a bummer.
And I’d hate to end my final day of guestblogging on such a down note. So, here’s some Youtube weirdness, which is my favorite thing ever (clearly). This video starts off seeming all nice and wholesome, with three fetching lassies singing about potato salad, of all things. And then…the bending…oh god the bending! Babies are [...]

Which means the tragic stories of kids left in their cars by forgetful/neglectful parents will start rolling in. Honestly, I used to really think these parents were terrible, and further proof that some people just shouldn’t reproduce. But after experiencing the total sleep deprivation of the first few months of parenthood, I kind of think [...]

I have recently learned of the term “Moo” used to describe women with children (and I think we all remember that 600-comment-long monstrosity of a thread). I have decided to emulate gangster rappers everywhere and embrace the pejorative. I am the Moo of your worst nightmares! Watch as I force innocent strangers to view photos [...]

Miriam Makeba singing on Brazilian TV in the sixties. Is it wrong of me to want this dress? This is pretty good too. (The song and the dress.) It’s The Click Song, though it’s actually called Qongqothwane. I kind of wish I spoke Xhosa.

The Disney Princess Industrial Complex is coming for your soul!
Or, at least it is if you’re a girl below the age of 12, anyway. It’s come to my attention that toys and children’s merchandise in general has become heavily gendered. (Or at least, and this makes me feel like a serious old fogie, since I was last exposed to children’s merchandise.) I offer, as [...]

Okay, so either my router or my modem has taken a serious powder. Luckily I wasn’t supposed to do anything important this week, like guest blog at Feministe or anything, so it shouldn’t be a huge deal. Haha. I’m writing this post on my Sidekick, which is tedious (where’s my scorn for iPhones now!) and [...]

Someone showed me this thinking I would find it hilarious (which I guess I kind of do). Really, though, I find it terribly sad. It’s like all the bad things about America rolled into one. From stupid newscasts to people buying into corporate hype (seriously, the iPhone is a pretty mediocrity, my cheapo-in-comparison Sidekick does [...]
...read moreMaybe I’ll write a real post after the kid takes a nap.
But for now childcare demands mean pretty much all I can get done on the computer is some furtive typing while different Youtube videos load. Did I mention the kid likes Youtube videos? Well, since I’m pretty much a sadist, and since guest blogging gives me a larger group of people to inflict things on [...]

Good morning, Feministers! Thought I’d start out my guestblogging stint with something introductory, although I’ve guest blogged here before and comment a lot so you might already know me. I’m a 29-year-old Ethnology student, mother to a 13-month-old, wife to a Viking recreationist, and long, long, long, time blogger at Plucky Punk’s Happy Land. I [...]

Because you all seem to like it so much. And my cat really isn’t that cute.

A friend of mine emailed this to me today. Is it just me, or is this ad kind of gross? Does everything, everything for women need to involve sex somehow? Is that the only way they think they can get our attention? And the other PSAs for this group struck me as very patronizing. I [...]
