moominmuppetHowdy-hey folks, I am BACK! Sooner than expected, thankfully, so now it's time to catch up on everything happening outside Knox County! Just a few today, but more to come as I catch back up.
Feministing: Monday Morning Feminist Fix: MHP Show on Michigan anti-choice super-bill (“vagina” included)
Guardian: My vagina monologue: what Michigan GOP lawmakers didn't want to know
If Michigan Republicans think they have the right to control women's bodies and reproductive rights, they can hear me out
WashingtonPost: Silenced Mich. lawmaker, playwright treat thousands to ‘Vagina Monologues’ on Statehouse steps -- Rock On!!!
ONTD_Political: The woman who orchestrated a series of photographs featuring mothers who served in the military breastfeeding their children has been fired from her job. Chrystal Scott, the spokeswoman for military mom support group Mom2Mom, said she was fired from her civilian job as an X-ray technician after the initial uproar over the images, and she told the online news program Right This Minute that the two active-duty women in the photo had been reprimanded by the military for their involvement. The publication of the photos triggered a heated debate over what qualifies as inappropriate behavior while in military attire.
WashingtonPost: University of Virginia asks rector, vice rector to resign after president’s ouster
NPR: Rodney King, Whose Beating Led To LA Riots, Dies
ColorLines: Last week President Obama issued an executive order to grant work permits and end deportations of young people who would be eligible for the DREAM Act, offering a two-year reprieve to people under the age of 31, who were under the age of 16 when they first came to the United States. Colorlines.com Publisher Rinku Sen appeared on MSNBC Melissa Harris Perry show to discuss immigration, the economy, and how closely US policy matches up with our values. -- the Melissa Harris Perry show is my new weekend favorite, btw. Totally worth checking out if you're at all interested in serious in-depth discussions without all the shouting.
ThinkProgress: Report: Military Can Provide Female Troops With Better Health Care
unknown designer, probably Chinese
For the show "Artificial Beauty", Shih Chien University, China (Fall of 2010) -- Science geek fashion?
Cunts for Fags
Demystifying the innies of the genital world
a detailed introduction to the vulva geared towards gay men -- Oh, neat! If anyone wants to run something like this locally, I would totally volunteer to model for it.
Queer presenters, live models, a safe space to ask questions… this workshop is the perfect opportunity for gay men to learn about vulvas, vaginas, clits, cunts, g-spots, inny-holes, bonus holes, cooters, tranny boners, clit boners, or whatever you call yours.
So, for anyone who plans to be a dad and wants to learn a little more about the inner workings of a baby-maker, or ran into a smokin’ hot trans man at a bar and is hoping to impress between the sheets, or is simply sick of not knowing what’s going on when your roommates start talking about tampons — come to Cunts for Fags. You’ll leave knowing more about vaginas than the vast majority of straight boys.
