the radical notion that women are human beings: a work in progress
I think we may be counting feminism wrong. I understand the idea and the need for third-wave feminism, in recognition of the fact that second-wave feminism (Steinem, Friedan, Abzug, 1960s-1970s movement) focused too much on the issues of white middle … Continue reading

plants fear me
I think I’ve just achieved a new record for blackness of thumb. Most people content themselves with killing plants on an ad-hoc basis, but I have just managed to pre-emptively kill an entire garden. I went to set it up … Continue reading

of semi-famous women
I’ve been thinking yesterday. You know what would be fun? Creating a chapbook of poems in the voices of women who didn’t get to speak for themselves or who should be better known than they are. I already have the … Continue reading

creating ritual, with love

bye!
It’s kind of a sad day today; for all I know this could be my last day here (Taipei and Linkou, Taiwan) ever. It’s not unlikely I’ll have business trips back to Taiwan but they could be to another city. … Continue reading

some observations from Taiwan and a couple short reviews
Man, it’s nice to be able to go to bed with my husband every night, and to know that isn’t going to end at the end of this week!!! (Italics and exclamation points fully justified here.) It’s been kind of … Continue reading

speaking up from a different perspective
The following is an expanded version of what I posted on Facebook today, and in a comment to my original post. (Facebook statusesuseses can only be 420 characters, so I had to cut a lot of what I wanted to … Continue reading
