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
Via Karnythia at Feminist: Oh, Clinton. I was never a big fan, and I’ve been decidedly less so since your campaign started and you’ve regularly more or less condoned the racist actions of various supporters and members of the campaign.
But seriously? “These are the people you have to win” in order to get elected? That’s… […]

SDSU in the News
It figures that one of the few times I hear about San Diego State (where I’m currently finishing up my MA) in the news, it’s because 96 students were arrested in a drug bust. I’ve never really been big on “the war on drugs,” but it still makes me wonder what others must think about […]

Grand Theft Auto, Old School
Listening to Weekend America just now, a story came on mentioning that the newest Grand Theft Auto has just come out. 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 […]
Fatphobic covering of the MA size discrimination bill in the Chicago Tribune
You had to know the article wasn’t going to be exactly unbiased when it started like this:
In an overwhelmingly overweight nation that worships thinness, many describe prejudice against the obese as one of the last socially acceptable biases. Advocates for the plus-sized, particularly activists in the “fat acceptance” movement, want obesity to become a […]
A letter to my students
Dear My Students,
I have something to tell you. It’s a confession I’m mildly to moderately ashamed of, but hey, I’m only giving you one more lecture so I might as well tell you, right? Here goes.
I have totally Facebooked/Myspaced you. In fact, I do it pretty regularly. When I’m thinking, ooh, she emailed me today […]
Three things
1. I’ve been a big fan of Claire Robertson and Loobylu for years now, so I was tickled to be able to snag one of the prints of “Lily in the Garden” when she sold them on her Etsy last week. Since we’re moving in August it won’t get framed/hung until we’re in The Midwest, […]

Fat comics anybody?
I asked you all a few days ago what movies featured great fat women characters, and there was a flood of people suggesting movies I’d a) never thought of as fat-pos or b) never heard of, period. In light of how successful that was, I thought I’d toss this out and see what comes back. […]
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!
