  My son is officially addicted to I Can Has Cheezburger?, with all those cats-with-slogans postcards that are now generically known as lolcats. He keeps sending me his favourites, which do make me laugh, and is now beginning to ask for… Read More ›

• River leaving Baghdad

  By tigtog on 2007-04-27 • ( 2 )

  I remember Baghdad before the war- one could live anywhere. We didn’t know what our neighbors were- we didn’t care. No one asked about religion or sect. No one bothered with what was considered a trivial topic: are you Sunni… Read More ›

• Righteous Rant of the Month

• Your guess is as good as mine

  By tigtog on 2007-04-24

  From GetUp! , regarding their campaign to ensure that deceptive “pregnancy counselling” services are legally required to be honest up-front about their anti-abortion stance: When GetUp! and Reproductive Choice Australia began this campaign last year, nearly 20,000 of you signed… Read More ›

• Sex and stereotypes: What’s wrong with individualist fluffy-feminism

  By lauredhel on 2007-04-23 • ( 48 )

  I love those blog posts that make me shout, “Yes!” Infinitethought has posted a biting critique of the bulging strawfeminist-packed closets of the so-called “sex-positive” individualist feminist, the second, larval stage of the embryonic INAFBer [1]: Trotting out the tired… Read More ›
