I really hope that you needed it more than I did. Enjoy the Ani Difranco, Fiona Apple, White Stripes, Adele, Electric 6, Cake, CCR, Jessica Hoop, Kate Nash, Lily Allen, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, Peggy Lee, Regina Spector, Queen, Dr. Horrible Soundtrack, the boatload of classical and the tons of other various artists that [...]

I’ve decided to try and seek out people with opposing, but polite views, and try to address them with views that are just as polite, as a break from the general snark that most of my blogposts are. Since lately, we have had quite a few MRAs, I thought that was a good a [...]

I love the internet, particularly the blogsphere. I love how easy it is to pass information back and forth, how I can connect with people with different ideas, but more importantly (for me) is how I can connect with people who have the same idea. For me, the main thrust of the feminist [...]

Today I went through the wedding gifts, to send out the thank you cards and to cash the cheques (hey, I’m a starving law student). Or rather, I should say that I tried to cash the wedding cheques. I discovered that I was unable to cash a single, solitary cheque. Why? Because [...]

Posting Pictures

The last post seems to be fairly unanimous: people want to see wedding pictures. This makes me happy that people care, but it also makes me a little bit nervous.
I have never put pictures on any of my political blogs before. Even back when I was on live-journal, my avatar was always something [...]

Wedding Day, Redux

The wedding is over: the dress has been worn, the sand has been poured, the party has been danced. We had a blast, and while there are some things that we wish we could do-over, all in all it went pretty well.
Since I don’t know what the level of interest is on the blog, [...]

Wedding Day!

I cordially invite all of you PunkAssers who are in the Minnesota/ North Dakota/ Manitoba area to come to my wedding on Friday, September 19th. Please send me an email if you are available, in the area, and would like to attend.

Clothing: *sigh*

I keep hitting mental road-blocks when I try to do my law school assignment, so I figured I would try and contribute to my blogging duties.
This weekend, I went to the dreaded local temple to capitalism (otherwise referred to as a “mall”) with my friend PE.* I needed to find some clothes that looked [...]

Over at Feministe, there is a very interesting post and discussion about labor unions, and some of the common arguments against them (and the rebuttals). I recommend the post, because it is fairly interesting, but I would like to point out one other reason why you should unionize when possible: if you unionize, you [...]

Promises, Promises

I just got done reading Lisa Kansas’s post on prostitution and how it relates to the Edwards case.* I was just going to put a comment, but I realized it was starting to turn into my own manifesto, so i thought a separate post might be more appropriate.
As far as her questions one and [...]

There are oh so many myths about rape that I would like to kill, bury, and then dance on the grave of naked, but I think the number one myth is that rape is something that “Just Happens” to victims (more likely women), like it is a force of nature. In order for rape [...]

Can’t Sleep

Occasionally, I’ll get bouts of insomnia and then I’m stuck watching late night television until I fall asleep out of sheer boredom. After watching women’s gymnastics (Go USA), there wasn’t much left on to watch on television, so I started to channel surfing.
Clicking randomly around, not really paying attention, I suddenly heard a male [...]
