Wear Clean Draws  (’coz there’s 5 million ways to kill a ceo)

maybe more later. WRT rmildred’s rant about my looking like an asshole re: restless feminists thread at b.l.
I guess it doesn’t matter what i actually say, but from my vantage point, Amber didn’t come whining to me. She came to me to ask me if I what she’d said seemed racist and worthy of […]

i still haven’t had much time but i did stumble over some of the recent events re brownfemipower, amanda marcotte, appropriation, and racist imagery.
i suppose, having been accused of appropriating for writing the old bitch lab/queer dewd blog, i should be sympathetic. obviously i’m not but i did have to laugh when, recounting events to […]

hmmm. couldn’t resist. i visited amazon and this book was screaming at me to buy it, buy it, buy it. I can’t wait to read it and can only hope i have time! i finished a couple of books in the last couple of weeks and am currently reading Katherine Newman’s No Same in My […]

have only skimmed this and haven’t posted — or worked out! — because i have been way too busy at work. it’s been a mini-whirlwind of the busyness and the craziness and the overtime working 7:30 to 8 or so.
Yesterday, I got up, got ready and greeted a bare nekkid R getting up from […]

It’s interesting, given the way an LBO list member, Charles, keeps insisting that blacks are more discriminated against. For those who say that, what happens when Obama wins? It’s one of the drawbacks of a certain kind of […]

OK. I alluded to this analysis already, but I hadn’t realized I wasn’t very clear until I repeated myself and realized, fromt he response, that it was too opaque the 1st time. Here, I’m showing Obama’s rhetoric consists of empty signifiers. How his speeches are “all things to all people”. What makes white ppl so […]

On lbo, they are having a delightful conversation, first about abortion and how, *sob* we all should just feel horrible that women must choose abortion because it’s just terrible terrible terrible to kill all those undead babies. *sob* and now, because Dwayne Monroe has actually been trying to have a reasonable discussion with someone I’ve […]

note to self: don’t write posts at 6 am. I wrote some of below over course of a few days. Was editing it. Hit Publish instead of Save. I’d intended to put it away and edit it properly. So, very very sorry about the totally incomprehensible material below. Aiyiyiyiyi. will swing by and fix it […]

thinking a lot about home lately as we try to figure out where we should live. i realized that i want to be home, someplace a little more settled. i have moved four times this year and i’m tried of not really having my own place. i’m terrified of buying because i don’t want to […]

Last year, brownfemipower criticized u.s feminism because its rhetoric desexualizes women of color — a discourse that also exists within a wider u.s. discourse where women of color are racialized by hypersexualizing their bodies as well. And this can seem puzzling. How can both be going on? It’s also harder to illustrate, I think, because […]
