Muchas gracias to Evil Fizz, Salty Femme and A.H.M.K. for their awesome blogging this week — and especially for keeping the blog going while I was away and not posting very often. You all did a terrific job.
This week we welcome Jaclyn and Little Light:
Jaclyn Friedman is a lying, man-hating whore, and you can buy the tshirts to prove it. She’s also a writer, poet and performer who earns her keep as the Program Director of the Center for New Words, where she is one of the lead organizers of the WAM! (Women, Action & the Media) Conference. She’ll blog about whatever she damn well pleases, which usually includes gender politics, pop culture, sex, media, reproductive justice, and overthrowing the goddamned patriarchy. Her favorite lipstick color is Wicked.
Little Light is practically drowning in adjectives, but suffice it to say that she is a queer brown trans woman with a kind of a mad-on for the study of religion, who comes from a reasonably long line of sailors, guerrilla leaders, and semiprofessional occultists. Between blogging, canoodling, and kvetching, she moonlights fighting crime and volunteers as a street medic, which is often not as exciting as it sounds. Her home blog, Taking Steps, is largely focused on postcolonialist feminism, queer issues, race issues, intersectional anti-oppression activism, the Religious Left, and current events, with a heavy frosting of the personal stuff to distinguish it from all the other blogs written by middle-class transgendered Filipina-Jewish postcolonial-feminist witch-doctors who own their own utility belts and like to get preachy. She has a tragic addiction to those little spicy rice-cracker things, and may or may not be a comic book someday.
If they can write bios like that, I think it should be a very good week.
