Down down down
The skies have been a little bleak lately - and I'm not just talking about the weather. I recently had a job interview (HR Assistant) that completely devastated the slim skeleton of my self-confidence and I'm now clawing my way back to ( Read more... ) -
Feminist Wednesday!
A couple of feminist blogs for this fine Wednesday morning:
Majikthise discusses forced ultrasounds for those considering abortions.
BitchPhD, with guest writer Sybil Vane, discusses feminism and the trend away from collective organization.
Oh yeah, and I've been blogging again as well.
Not to forget I Blame the Patriarchy and Pandagon. -

Ledger Found Dead
