Shameless Self-Promotion Sunday

Promote yourself.

Netiquette reminders:

  • we expect Content Notes as a courtesy to our readers for problematic content in linked posts and/or their comment threads (a habit of posting only triggering/disparaging links may annoy the Giraffe (you really don’t want to annoy the Giraffe))
  • extended discussion of self-promotion links on this thread is counter-productive for the intended signal-boosting –  the idea is for the promoted sites to get more traffic.  If it’s a side-discussion that would be off-topic/unwelcome/distressing on the other site, take it to #spillover after leaving a note on this thread redirecting others there.

    1. Gender essentialist, much? I don’t know if I’m missing something here, but I’ve known enough people of assorted genders that do a mixture of both or neither of these behaviours whilst in relationships.

      1. You are right, I never intended on implying that there aren’t men or women who don’t do any of these or a mixture of these. The list I made was a generalization based on my own personal experiences and observations.

  13. I wrote this to combat the really bad analogies used when blaming women for male violence – “If you leave your laptop in your car” etc. And also to describe victim blaming in general – what we mean by blame and responsibility, what are the psychological causes of victim blaming, and why victim blaming is wrong in general.
    Arguments From Analogy in Victim Blaming

  17. Unpossible — It’s almost a year since I got married, and I’m still getting reactions like this to my name.

    Dear Troll [CN: fat hate, death wishes] — Deconstructing a “lovely” comment that someone was brave enough to leave me anonymously.

  19. A gay couple were targets of a hate-crime this week in Pittsburgh. Frequent writer Brenden is friends with one of the victims, and wrote about the bad and good ways to respond when you hear about a hate crime.
    After a Hate Crime: What to Say, What Not to Say

    And I wrote about the ways we as women can unconsciously undermine our own self-worth with certain common verbal ticks– constantly saying “sorry” for no reason, or “Does that make sense?” after sharing our ideas.
    Yes, You Do Make Sense. No, You’re Not Sorry.
    (One of my favorite things I’ve written in a while. I would love if you read, shared, and commented!)

  21. It’s been so long since I posted that I don’t even remember when the last time was. Most of that was because I was neglecting Fromage (the blog, not cheese). And most of that was because I was busy with various and sundry things, many of which had to do with recording and releasing the new Lisa’s Hotcakes EP, Hotter.

    I posted Home queer home about the 25th Vancouver Queer Film Festival and how volunteering and attending made me feel very much at home.

    I posted Twice as nice on Bisexual Pride Day.

    Not sure quite why I wrote Serenely raging, but it has to do with the Serenity Prayer and not accepting the unacceptable and probably about my big-zero birthday coming up in a few months.

    And I wrote a series of posts about the Hotter EP and each of its songs, starting with The sum of its parts.

    Guess I’m back in the blogging business.

  23. Sadly, Pittsburgh was the site of a hate crime against two gay men. I wrote about the incident and linked to a planned rally as well as photos from the rally. Content notes: gay slurs, photo of one survivor with facial injuries, description of physical violence.

    Along a different line, I posted an interview with the history of Pittsburgh’s LGBTQ Community Center – the GLCC. Content notes: some references to gay bashing and discrimination

    Thank you for reading.

  24. I’ve been fairly ill most of the week. So my post about Gay Pride will be delayed until my head isn’t hurting.
    OTOH,
    I reblogged J. Michael Straczynski’s Still in the 60s. It says everything I’ve been saying for years.

    And the Sunday Sweet this week is a copy of Alive on the Inside. Warning: lots of creepy pics. And AotI itself is not a horror novel for the faint of heart. There’s all the daily Halloween stuff too.

  32. I posed a question, how do you define feminism? It is the first question I’m asking as part of “Two Way Hump Day.” I’m doing it each Wednesday so I can interact with my readers and see what they have to say about the topics on which I’m writing. Write a response to partake in “Two Way Hump Day!”
