• Question Authority

  The hubs and I went for a wog (somewhere between walking and jogging) this morning and I am on my second cup of coffee. I normally only have one, so bare with me… my wheels are spinning. I feel sick over the events that transpired this week. I’m emotionally traumatized over the wound that was…

• Of Self Preservation and Social Media

  I am passionate about a number of things but the big ones tend to revolve around women (feminism), environment and politics. It’s the interconnection of feminism, environmentalism, politics, activism and spirituality – otherwise known as [modern] ecofeminism. My personal soap boxes include reproductive justice (including abortion, birth choice, breast feeding and maternity rights), the right…

• So you’re tired of hearing about “rape culture”?

  Originally posted on Rethink the Rant: TRIGGER WARNING: The following includes descriptions, photos, and video that may serve as a trigger for victims of sexual violence.

• Thoughts on Stubenville

  Yesterday, the verdict for the Stubenville rape case came out.  I was shocked and disappointed in the 1 & 2 year sentences the rapists received. Today I am physically nauseated. I can’t wrap my brain around the reaction and create full sentences. I am stupefied. I am disgusted by the rape culture that our society…

• Fired Up for Women

  Today the Violence Against Women Act passed.  286 to 138. The 138 that voted against it were all Republicans. Remind me again how any woman can be a member of this party in its current form?  Come on Republicans! Take back your party from the right wing nut jobs. They are ruining it for you!…

• Critical Thinking and Run-On Sentences

  Yesterday I read a piece in the Washington Post entitled A warning to college professors from a high school teacher, by Valerie Strauss. It was the reprint of a letter that first appeared in Academe, the journal of the American Association of University Professors by Kenneth Bernstein.  It’s a searing criticism of 2001’s No Child Left…

• Top 5 Celebrity Chicks that Rock My World

  Women don’t give enough props to other women. I crush on girls all. the. time. It’s got nothing to do with sexuality, get your small minds out of the gutter. It’s everything to do with seeing attractive qualities in another. Sometimes they are qualities I wish I had. Sometimes I just think, wow, girl you…

  DISCLAIMER: This blog post is more for my own brain dumping edification than for your entertainment.  Since early college, I wanted to work in/run a non-profit organization. I majored in political communication/campaign management an minored in women’s studies with that intent. I fell in love with Marian Wright Eddleman, Gloria Steinem and Sarah Weddington.  I…
