Hello period!

Thank you for waiting until I was off the plane to NYC to start. You even waited until I was in the hotel room and had access to all our supplies, for which I particularly thank you.

Now I’d like to introduce you to my new best friend, the sponge. The sponge will be our close [...]

Three things: the BADD, the Gentle, and the New

One: The first of May is Blog Against Disablism Day, and although I really meant to participate again this year, I’m operating on about four hours’ sleep, and instead of blogging about ableism/disablism, I’m thinking I might actually take care of my own disabilities and go to bed (sort of) on time. Shocking, I know. [...]

I need a name

No, not that kind of name (I did promise I’d never fake y’all out on a pregnancy again, after all). The name I need is for the anti-kyriarchy/pro-diversity kids’ books review series I’m (finally, after thinking about it for aaaaages) starting.

I’ve asked around on Twitter and Facebook, but for those of you following me neither [...]

Menstrual Monday

It’s that time again, and lacking any thinky thoughts or filking inspirations, I’m using this post to ask you1 about what you use for your period, whether traditional disposable products, something you made yourself, or purchased reusable products, or…?

Specifically, because I had a massage tonight2, have any of you used a menstrual sponge? With my [...]

Open thread: On first periods

My monthly menstrual musings may have misled many of my much-beloved readers. I was not always as forthright as I am now — to put it mildly — and my willingness to talk about menstruation here, and elsewhere online and other feminist-dominated spaces1, doesn’t mean I don’t (or rather, didn’t when it was applicable) buy [...]

“I am a feedback… investment banker?” On language, kyriarchy, and problematic metaphors

I was replying to a question from the inimitable Kelly Diels on “Why do you blog?“, and wrote the following (feel free to read the whole thing — it amuses me — but the part relevant to the rest of this post is at the end, highlighted in bold):

I started blogging because I kept thinking [...]

Commenting problems?

I’ve heard from a couple people that when they tried to comment on my latest post it failed to go through, which, among other things, makes me wonder for how many that’s been true from whom I HAVEN’T heard. Although obviously some comments at least are still getting through, and my spam queue certainly hasn’t [...]

Ignore the woman behind the curtain!

I really thought I would be able to get more content up before the site switch, but I’ve been so taken up by working on the new blog design that I haven’t had time to, y’know, blog.

So here’s how it’s going to happen: some time in the next couple days, I’m going to shut down [...]

A Carnival to read and a Primer to name

Over at Mothers for Women’s Lib, the Second Carnival of Feminist Parenting is up. There are some great articles up, including the call for submissions for the Feminist Parenting Primer by yours truly.

Some featured posts:

Stephanie Rosado presents Motherhood = Feminism = Activism posted at Mothering in the Margins.

Scott presents On Gendered Interests in Children [...]

100th post, and a call to de-lurk

So, I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this, but I have this slight streak of perfectionism, combined with a crazy voice mental illness that likes to pick up and run with any slight hesitations or doubts that I might have, thereby leaving me paralyzed and unable to do so much as “any” much less “good [...]
