I have no desire or intention to police others’ bodies. We can talk about the social pressures that lead to high rates of cosmetic surgery, dieting, body hatred — but to confuse a need for systemic critique with a right to criticize individuals is one of the worst uses of feminism. But. And. So. How we talk about our [...] 14 July 2010 at 2:37 pm | Category: Body, Fat is a feminist issue, Gender, Kyriarchy | Tags: excuses, language, misogyny | 29 comments
Like this? Share it: You know that fabulous class I was gushing over in my last post? Yeah, Day Three fucked my back up. Or rather, my back, injured long long ago when I was twelve, decided it had had enough and wasn’t going to take it any more, and I wasn’t going to give yet another massage, I was [...] 21 May 2010 at 1:18 am | Category: Body, Menstruation, Meta, Privilege | Tags: class privilege, disability, excuses, massage, owie, school | 10 comments
Like this? Share it: I’m in the midst of a maternity massage series — two three-day-weekends in a row, for a total of 44 class hours — and am utterly knackered. I’ve had so many thoughts, so many posts I would’ve given a toe1 to be able to sit down and get out, but have had to get back [...] My parents are in town (WOOHOO!), there’s all sorts of cooking to be done (let’s not even talk about the cleaning), and, as always, my mind is full with far more posts than there is ever time to write. So I’m giving myself a break. Who knows if I’ll actually take it? Last time? Not so much. [...] My parents are in town from out of state (yaaaaay!), so blogging will likely be slow for the next week while they’re here. Tiny updates for the tiny post on the tiny hiatus: The Man had an in-person interview yesterday that went well, but we won’t hear back for another week. Cross your fingers for us. In many ways, unemployment is great for our family. The Man is around throughout the day, which is our ideal. We all sleep in and wake up together, and he gets to experience the joys of first hugs and kisses of the day. He gets up and showers with the Boychick in [...] 27 May 2009 at 4:44 pm | Category: Parenting | Tags: Best Friend, excuses, pictures, well crap | Be the first to comment!
Like this? Share it: I actually have a draft sitting in the hopper that I typed out at midnight yesterday when I couldn’t sleep, which I was really hoping to get up today, but which (because I typed it out at midnight when I really should have been sleeping) really needs a thorough clean up and sprucing before it’s [...] |

In my bathroom hangs a plaque with a picture of a yin yang and the word BALANCE. I can never get it to hang straight. This probably says something deep and meaningful about my life.

Quick update, having nothing to do with feminism
My fabulous mom gifted us with a lovely new/refurbished laptop, on which I have spent the last 3+ hours working on resume creation for The Man (and there’s still 34%/1.5hours’ charge remaining! woohoo!). So, no longer looking for a laptop but still looking for a techie job in the Portland area. Y’know, [...]
