Books

Inspired by Laurelin, may I suggest a dreaded meme? May I suggest that interested parties post a photograph of their bookshelves? Books, stacks, the pile under the bed, what have you. I took this photo with my brand spankin new wide angle lens. Lardy, on top of everything else, now I’m […]

Hopefully more later today on the IWD conference.

Just a quickie

Ilyka Damen has articulated much better than I could what I was going on about yesterday. So check out her post (thanks to ms jared for the intro to Ilyka!).
I’ll be off tomorrow celebrating International Women’s Day at the “Women Braving Violence: Global and Local Perspectives” Conference at UNM, including plenary speech by […]

On Foolishness

There’s a whole slew of bogusness going on in the blogosphere at the moment, in the traditional, non-tarot sense of “foolish.” For example, I was thrilled to see this post of Twisty’s calling out some of the downright offensive crap that passes for political discourse on various lefty blogs. I’ve been lurking […]

Lunch

This is cream cheese & olive spread on lightly toasted Sage sourdough. It would be difficult to exaggerate the role of Sage Bakehouse in my decision to move to New Mexico. In DC, I just couldn’t find decent, yet unpretentious bread. Sage sourdough is really perfect. It’s a little too robust […]

Lentils: More Delicious Than Previously Imagined

The latest cuisine adventure chez My Brain: Lentil & Cheese Gratin. I was perusing the internet for lentil loaf recipes when I found this one, which sounded interesting. (That entire blog is chock full of great veggie recipes and gorgeous photos so check it out!) Of course I made some modifications: […]

Film festival

So, good crunchy dykes that we are, we rode our bikes to the “2nd annual albuquerque social justice film festival: Sustainability in Action,” and here is what we saw.
Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil: This was hands down the best film, in my opinion. One drawback was that there […]

Kya: Before you pay

Read Riverbend at Baghdad Burning on the cover-up of the rape of Sabrine al Janabi. I followed a link from Heart at Women’s Space and found this:
”She might just be the bravest Iraqi woman ever. Everyone knows American forces and Iraqi security forces are raping women (and men), but this is possibly the first […]

Joanna Russ on marriage and capitalism

This is posted for my beloved spotted elephant:

…it can certainly be objected, although women’s work as wives and mothers is not paid for with money, it is nonetheless recompensed in another, quite obvious way. Women are, after all, supported by their husbands. All women? Not quite. After all, the family wage […]

Bonus Cat Blogging: Cuteness Emergency

There used to be only one cat bed. The way I was raised, animals weren’t really supposed to be in the house, let alone on the furniture, let alone given their own furniture. If times had changed enough for humans to tolerate their presence in centrally heated spaces, the floor was damn well […]
