• Eighth Carnival of Feminist Parenting
• Tourism and the Objectification of the Native

– “We often talk about gender objectification on this blog, but we also try to talk about other types of objectification.”

• Starry night

– I miss it too.

• (title unknown)

– “It’s indisputably true that the political system is run by wealthy plutocrats and much of what passes for democracy is kabuki. Same as it ever was, I’m afraid. But that’s not exactly the point. It’s still worth participating, doing what you can, containing the damage, stopping the bleeding, fighting the fight – for its own sake. After all, history shows that humans have managed, somehow, to actually make progress over time. You just can’t know what will make the difference.”
