In defense of the sanctimonious women's studies set || First feminist blog on the internet

Register for YearlyKos!

Jill

I’m going, and so should you.

The convention is in Chicago this year, from Aug. 2-5th, which is also my birthday weekend (August 3rd), so I can promise a fantastic party with some of your favorite feminist bloggers — I don’t have a full list of who’s coming, but I know Amanda and Jessica will be there. The full line-up has yet to be announced, but so far it’s looking pretty good — Bill Richardson, John Edwards, and Barack Obama are all planning to come, and I’m sure more super-star politicians, journalists and bloggers will be announced as the convention approaches.

Plus, if you register before June 1st you’ll pay $225 for registration; after June 1st the price goes up to $275.

If you can’t make the conference but live in the Chicago area, we will most certainly plan some sort of meet-up that weekend.

  1. I really wanted to make it this year, but registration plus airfare plus lodging is simply beyond my means, especially given that I’ll be making two other long-distance trips this summer.

    Hope you all have a good one!

  4. I’m sorry, I know it’s none of my business, but you seem to post sometimes in the afternoon, although I thought you wouldn’t be posting from work. I suspect my perplexity here is one way or another just another stage in my gradual taking leave of reality, but I thought I would ask about it just to be pointlessly annoying.

    Well good to see how Kos is paying for his world’s tiniest violin lessons.

    Dammit, there’s no way I can pay that just so I can set assholes on fire, this sucks!

    Ha. Yeah, I don’t usually post from work, but I posted that on my lunch, which is unpaid time. I also just started, so I’m not swamped yet. But once things pick up, I will not be posting much.

  10. Never admit that, Jill.

    I swear I only post during my lunch break! I am very very good. And I am doing work! Interesting work! Lots of it, I promise! I just came back from lunch early today and had a few minutes to post.

    Don’t even admit that. I’m serious.

    Elayne, as I understand it, Yearly Kos has taken on a life of its own separate from Kos himself, who’s a dipshit.

  13. Also, Jill, you and the other feminist bloggers there should totally wear those “Proud member of the sanctimonious women’s studies set” t-shirts there.

  14. I’m sorry, Jill, I wasn’t trying to get you in trouble. I was seriously half-thinking that I had either stopped being able to comprehend time correctly, or that I was way off on what hours an average work day covers.

    At least you’re not a friend of mine, who works at one of the major Wall Street firms and sent me an email from work telling me how “delicious” it was to sit in his office and read The New Left Review on his computer.

  15. Phooey. One of these years i’ll get to go to one of these blogger ethics conference things and actually meet all the people i read.

    But not this year.

  16. Hmm…are there any other feminist-types who live in southern Wisconsin and would be interested in a road trip?

  18. Ok, I have to go to this. It’s my anniversary weekend and way out of my price range, but somehow I have to find a way to go.

  20. I live in Chicago too! I’m kinda poor though at the moment, so I might just have to go with the meet-up! But I plan on making a sincere attempt at saving up.

    Also- if you’re looking for a place FOR a meet-up, hit me up and I’ll give ya some suggestions.

  21. Can’t afford the convention but I kinda live in area. Please DO plan a get-together! I know so few feminists here… would love the opportunity to meet more.

  23. Yay! I will be in Chicago too! I don’t know for sure about the convention since I will have just moved, but I’m definitely in for a meet-up!
