I can’t believe I missed Pi Day!
I haven’t read any of the “geeking it up” sites in my Google-reader this week, because I have been busy. If I had, I’m sure one of them would have mentioned the nerdalicious celebration of Pi Day on March 14th…. Read More ›
A lode, a veritable trove, of anti-feminist misogyny
The entitlement! The paranoia! The simplistic stereotyping! The recitation of factoids with no cites whatever! Every single post I have read on this blog would be a full week’s worth of discussion classes and an essay assignment in any Women’s… Read More ›

Blogging, blaming and outing or alerting
Hello, visiting Blamers! (and thanks for the emails) So, it appears I am the only person who’s worked out Switchbutt Dorktor‘s identity, or at least the only person who’s owned up to it. Short summary for non-Blamers: Anonymous doctor posts… Read More ›
Sexism always sucks, even when dissing the Coultergeist
There’s always some low-level antagonism towards Ann Coulter going on amongst the socially progressive bloggers, and fair enough too. The woman is a hateful bigot who deliberately stirs up anger and fear towards anyone not fitting into her conservative WASPangelical… Read More ›
