  By lauredhel on 2007-04-15 • ( 1 )

  This is why we are content to celebrate a global festival of renewal and new life in the southern autumn, instead of in the spring. My heart feels buoyant. And this is why: Fresh, lush, beautiful rain on the strawberry… Read More ›

• Anti-feminist-Bingo! A master-class in sexual entitlement.

  By lauredhel on 2007-04-14 • ( 119 )

  Edit 18 Dec 2009: I’ve seen this referred to in quite a few places round the ‘sphere as “Antifeminist Troll Bingo”. It’s not called that here, and was never called that here, because that isn’t my sole or primary intention…. Read More ›

  By lauredhel on 2007-04-12 • ( 8 )

  Thanks for all the guesses on the pink-M logo. All is now revealed: Tigtog, Joules, Mel, you were right on with the mummy-marketing interpretation. Tigtog, you win Lauredhel’s Grade-A Cynic Prize of the Week – you were dead right. Before… Read More ›
