Just like MoreCoffeePlease – Just so I can use “Kiss my 83 year old ass” as a blog title.
That is all.

Handful of links that I’ve been collecting, good reads, just not much I can add. Jump on over to read these.

It gave me a little thrill to see this article from Michelle Obama appear in my reader – I’m excited at the level [...]
Yellow
Posted in Because GRRLS Rock! on July 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The word yellow wandered through his mind in search of something to connect with.
–Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
The quote, of course, is from the scene in HHGTTG where poor Arthur wakes up, extremely hung-over, and spies a pair of bulldozers outside his home. In his post-inebriated state, the facts of the situation [...]
Primal Pleasures: Food and Sex, and how they relate
Posted in Because GRRLS Rock! on July 17, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I came across this in my morning trawl through feeds. This is all theory I’ve read before, but somehow, this made me think (briefly, in that half hour I get to myself before I have to lever myself towards the shower and onwards to work).
Her[Susan Bordo] essay “Hunger as Ideology” was included in the composition [...]
Another Case of the Smelly Female Body
Posted in Because GRRLS Rock!, Perversity Abounds! on July 9, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I’m sure if you add up the number of scented and de-scentING products for both men and women, women would only have a slight edge. After all, the personal care market markets to men almost as heavily as to women about the smell of the natural human body.
This may just be the one thing that [...]
Against a Wall as a Feminist Photographer

Up against a wall
Originally uploaded by foto_bob
In the last couple of months, there’s been several things about my hobby that have tweaked my nerves one way or another. First, there was the shoot in May where I walked away with all of 11 pictures – and most of those were set-up test shots – because [...]
“Change Policy or Get Off Our Land” – Philadelphia to Boy Scouts
Posted in Because GRRLS Rock!, Perversity Abounds! on June 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’m impressed by this, and I hope it ends well for all parties involved – which it could do with just one very simple change in policy.
Evidently, the Boy Scouts council in Southeastern Pennsylvania raised funds 80 years ago to build an office for their council – on public land. The city of Philadelphia agreed [...]
Does having breasts earn fewer NYT Reviews?

One of the various blogs I glance at now and then is Tamara Pierce’spersonal blog. Tamara Pierce is my absolute favorite YA author, and as it turns out, she’s as violently liberal as I am. Reading her take on current events is often entertaining.
Recently, she called my attention to an editorial from the Guardian, titled [...]
Why I don’t have kids
Posted in Because GRRLS Rock! on July 7, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I was at my brother’s birthday party this
evening – he’s 27, but that doesn’t stop my mom from wanting to
bake a cake and feed everyone. A couple of his friends came, with
their respective wives and sons. Two little boys, generally under
the age of 2. I think Garrett is about a year and Dylan is about
7-8 [...]
Cluelessly Privileged
Posted in Because GRRLS Rock! on June 9, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I couldn’t help but laugh when I
translated the upcoming comment into the terms of the discussion at
hand.
To wit: the discussion centers on the raised levels of awareness
(i.e., hypervigilance) that women are taught – and to which I could
provide examples if necessary. When a young tadpole by the name of
Ryan bursts on the scene with this [...]
