WIMN - Review of Enlightened Sexism →
An excellent review of the book Enlightened Sexism.

This is everything that’s wrong with how most companies use facebook and twitter. This also seems like something Peter would say. (via foureleven) (via frothyparadise)

End of Spring Break
I have officially finished everything on my to do list for spring break! And just in the nick of time! This makes me happy. :-D Now I am going to submit another draft of my thesis (THIS SHOULD BE THE LAST ONE!! AREN’T YOU PROUD OF ME?!) and read more of The Blind Assassin.

Registry
Tim and I WERE going to look at puppies today, but after some responsible thinking it through, we decided to go take care of a few snags in our registry instead. Apparently, Crate & Barrel decided to discontinue our china pattern. And that was the one thing on the registry that I really liked! So we need to fix that and leave puppies for another day.

Book reading is better than thesis editing, right?
I saw today that the next Radical Readers & Feminisms For Dummies book club book is The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood. I’ve wanted to read more Atwood after tackling The Penelopiad two summers ago, so I was pretty stoked about this. Also, I hit the super jackpot because a really nice, hardcover copy of The Blind Assassin was sitting amongst my mom’s books on the shelves in my...

I am frustrated.
I don’t like the paper I stayed up until 2:00 AM writing last night. I stayed up so late that I slept super late and now I have a headache because I’m too lazy to make coffee and I skipped my workout today. Which is bad because I will probably also skip my workout tomorrow. I don’t want to grade, but I have so much of it to do. I don’t want to edit my thesis, but I have...
Wordpress Woes
My Wordpress blog is not cooperating. I had a super awesome pink theme on it, and then I had to take it down because people were complaining that the paragraph spacing was not right. There was no extra space after the paragraphs, so it was difficult to read. I don’t want my blog to be difficult to read, so I’m working on changing the theme now, but I am bummed.

Anonymous asked: What is your proudest moment?
n7-operative asked: I couldn't DM you on twitter and my account is protected, so you probably didn't catch the tweet. But to your question if wearing heels & short skirts & makeup make you unfeminist or antifeminist - my answer is: enforcing a standard of appearance upon women is anti-feminist, no matter what that standard is. Whether you want to wear high heels or army boots, skirts or overalls,...

Everyone stop everything you’re doing to be happy with me!
I just got re-dressed so I can run out to the indy bookstore up the road and buy Karen Healey’s first book “Guardian of the Dead”, and I am so happy because they called me and didn’t laugh at me when I started jumping up and down with…
From one fellow thesis-er to another, don’t let the thesis spoil your happiness! And...

I am at the car dealer, waiting for them to figure out what is wrong with my car (even though I already know) and fix it. Thank goodness for spring break so I have time to do this!
I’m reading Enlightened Sexism as I sit here and it’s really starting to annoy me. More on that later. I hope to finish it sometime over break.
Also this week, I must grade midterm essays from all of my...

I should probably mention that I got those last 4 pictures from this website.

Blogging for Teachers!
Another teacher and myself are going to be presenting at a technology conference at our school this summer. We’re presenting a session on how to blog and effective ways to use blogging in the classroom. I have some thoughts, but would love yours as well! If you were to use blogging as a student or teacher, what would you want to know how to do? What would you want to be able to do with it?...

"Activism" Can Ruin Lives →
Yes, I’m linking from my own blog. But I think this is super important, and want to spread the word and get more thoughts from a wider audience. And I think it fits loosely with meloukhia’s posts about online bullying.
