CA lifts ban on gay marriage
Just got a text message from my friend Michelle, and I wanted to share the big news: it looks like the California Supreme Court has lifted the ban on gay marriage. Regardless of whether you’re a big fan of the institution itself, I think many will agree that at least it says something about the […]
VIOLENT LESBIANS VIOLATE CIVIL RIGHTS
… Or so the Youtube video would have us think. I know I’m a little late on the whole “hatemonger Ryan Sorba is thoroughly owned by protesters at Smith College” bit, but I just now found this video, which seems to be the longest one of the protest. And, as a Smithie alum (and a […]
CLEARLY NOT RACIST

The quote, from author Joseph Rago, apparently a Dartmouth […]

They mentioned that it wasn’t the first game to feature wanton killing, though - way back in the 1970’s, the game “Death Race” featured cars just running people over, and when you ran them […]
Things I Will Do Between My MA and my PhD
1. Read. I will have almost three months this summer where I’m not working on my thesis, or doing massive amounts of prep for a course I’ve never taught before. The free time is all going into books; fiction, non-fiction, short fiction, graphic novels, I’m reading it all. I haven’t read anything purely for pleasure […]
The criticisms of my students would serve as a good warning to visitors of Seeworthy: she talks too fast, she's too hard on us, she assigns too much work, and you have to be a dyke to get a good grade.
In other words, I'm a big, fat, queer, feminist meanie, and I am totally out to get you. Graaagh!
