Beth Ditto = Fat, Queer, Feminist… and Naked?
Paul posted over at Big Fat Blog about Beth Ditto’s appearing naked on the cover of NME magazine. For those (probably few) who haven’t already heard it, this is the cover that’s sparking all the celebration (and some of the criticism):
Paul (as well as the folks on Time Out Chicago) questions whether this is empowering […]
Ellen hating on the fatties?
Sort of. Given the choice between finishing Twilight Princess (I’m not ready!) and watching daytime television, I opted for the latter, and ended up settling the Ellen show. Today one of her guests is Jordin Sparks, the most recent American Idol winner (for those who don’t follow the show). After asking the obligatory “is it […]

Chanukah Blog Tour 5767
1. Quick! You must turn a plate of latkes into an upscale gourmet delight (as if they aren’t already?). What would you add to them to dress them up, flavor and/or garnish them?

Sheana’s addendum to Jenn’s Guide to Gift Wrapping
So Jenn made this kind of extraordinary guide to gift wrapping, which I almost totally agree with. Plus, if you look at her presents at the end, they’re gorgeous! But, tastes will differ, so I’m offering up my, er, tips, in addition to Jenn’s most excellent ideas on wrapping.
Oh, and before I share pictures, why […]
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!
