Well, life’s been crazy making lately… getting this paper done, traveling, making life choices. You know, the usual. I decided to head back to the original school, I’m actually really stoked about it. I was looking over Estelle Freedman’s course offerings (yes, I just got to type that, how amazing) and I’m really excited to [...]

Thank goodness for the feminist and FA blogsphere. It all keeps me sane. Thank you thank you thank you bloggers. My local network of allies and feminist friends is pretty sad… people “get it” but don’t really…. thank you. It makes me feel so good that we’re all here, talking, caring, getting it, working on [...]

This article is sad proof (again….sigh) that women in sports are token additions in the sports world, which is totally a masculine arena. And that its ok to sexualize and commodify female athletes bodies because that’s what culture does to women’s bodies. A few quotes in this one floored me…

The following conversation ensued after I called my boyfriend (C) out for expressing interest in playing GTA 4. This friends, A and B were there. A knows pretty much nothing about feminism, B and C are both straight and white, and know plenty. Sigh.

Just wanted to briefly note that I thought NPR’s Thursday story was much, much more insightful and well done than their piece Wednesday. I’ll post back with more thoughts. Way to redeem yourself, NPR.

Now, I am no expert when it comes to gender issues. If there is a weak spot in my feminist education, that’s it, issues of gender identity, sexuality etc. But even I, silly “straight” girl (what does that mean anyway?) know that the story NPR just ran was chalk full of gender idiocy.

1) NIA- check it out. Hippie dancing has never been this good.

3) Marianne Williamson speaking last night
4) Job interview (never knew [...]

First, I ran off to Portland for Friday night. Then came home to coach on Saturday. I’ve decided its not Portland for me this summer. Great city, nice people, but too small and too close. I’m feeling antsy. Lots of stuff has been coming up, lots of clearing out, dealing, figuring. Oh life!
This morning I [...]
