Lactivists take to the streets
Really, what is the big deal about breastfeeding in public? Good for these “lactivists” — a public display of breastfeeding is just what we need. Babies need to eat, and breastmilk is whats best for them. People need to get over whatever sqeamishness or fears they have toward a lactating breast. “We’re all told that [...]

In preparation for this summer’s Mixmania!, I’ve been compiling songs that scream summertime to yours truly. I envisioned my playlist as what would make me sing out loud without shame at a stoplight with the windows down. Summertime usually means that three major genres are represented in my CD player: reggae, rockabilly, and synth-pop dance [...]

[UPDATE III: Amp spells out some more details brought to light since I last read the articles that make this situation much more troublesome. In this new light, I am reluctant to defend the young man in this case.] Two scared and stupid teenagers devise a homemade abortion and the boyfriend is sentenced to life [...]

It’s downright amazing to me that in such a short period of time, the same theories of animalistic violence that can’t be controlled have been dusted off and moved from black people to men, but this time the exact opposite conclusion has been reached. Instead of men’s supposedly inherent violence being used as an excuse [...]

Don’t put eardrops in Doug’s ears without rubber gloves, rubber pants, and a rubber jacket. Line walls with plastic sheeting.

After a long night of knitting and homeworking, I am about to curl up in bed with a book I’ve been looking forward to rereading for a week. In fact, I managed to line up a good deal of my summer reading in one fell swoop. Nostalgia crept over me when I passed the discount [...]

Because a select few find it prudent to post abusive and/or inappropriate comments to my blog, I have a quick note to all the newbies sent here via Amanda’s radio stint:

The women disgruntled with the dKos marginalization of liberal women have started their own sounding board free from the “frat boy” mentality that seems to rule the dKos site. See this particularly interesting conversation on the parallels between the now-infamous dKos argument and the second wave as a splinter of disaffectation with the 1960s left. [...]

So over the weekend, certain segments of the community have erupted in anger over the TBS ad for their reality show, the Real Gilligan’s Island. Apparently, having two women throw pies at each other, wrestle each other in a sexy, lesbianic manner, then having water splashed on their ample, fake bosoms is degrading to women. [...]

Well, its looking like my internet access in Sardinia is going to be slightly more limited than I thought (I also cant find the apostrophe on this keyboard, so please just pretend that its there in the necessary places). But I will try and post as often as I can. Im having a great time. [...]

Link to me, or the Bible gets it! Alright, people, I’m gonna get tough. You know what I want, and you’d better give it to me. I’ve got a bible here, and a 44oz. Diet Coke…lots of liquid containing a diuretic, to boot. In about an hour, I figure my bladder is going to be [...]
