2. This Sunday I am self-promoting my own blog, Xyre. Grad student in classics blogs about language, translation, politics, gender, and other nerdy things. Especially today’s and yesterday’s snow in Vancouver. Whee!

3. This post at Pandagon inspired me to try to include more fresh produce in my diet.

   I have posted some of my favorite easy veggie recipes and hope others will share their favorites, too.

4. A meditation on whether actors can act, or whether directors or the script brings something out of them. Inspired by the sometimes abysmal, sometimes excellent Vincent Kartheiser.

5. The American Life League has a YouTube video out full of lies and distortions about a popular children’s sex education book.

6. I have a post up about being “stuck,” which is not overtly political, but I sure could use some suggestions from fellow bloggers on how to get “unstuck”!

7. A post over at Afropologë about a series in our dumb college newspaper made me think a little about the way some of us deal with feelings of guilt and responsibility in choosing careers in public interest. So I wrote about it a tiny bit.

8. I am mad at the city of Green Bay, Wisconsin.

9. I ask about an ommission in all the talk about HIV testing around World AIDS Day.

10. I wrote about an article in my campus’ alternative newspaper that blamed the “sexed up” “drunk cheerleaders” of the Portland rock scene for the difficulty women have in being taken seriously as musicians.

    The article was entitled, “Chicks in Bands… ism”

11. I did a blog about Richard Dawkin’s article on jealousy. Good stuff.

12. More dismembered female body products and the insidious Manswers.

13. A day’s link round-up on women all over the world.

14. I’m part of a new, mostly-female-written anthology from a new publishing house started by a pair of ladies. Twilight and Thorns is currently available. It’s also very amazing. I’m honored to be included.

    Alos, I broke 50K on Nano.

15. I react to the news that a white police chief thinks that there’s a racist aspect to the way that the media covers missing persons cases.

16. Link to a very moving series of photos connected with the release of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” (1975).

17. I wrote about perceptions of female law students and a Washinton Post article about Michelle Obama.

18. This week, I considered the stupidity of targeting technology to a specific sex and meditated more on The Pink Problem.

19. Emily has a piece on Wonder Woman, and Amy is boasting about her short story which appears in the current issue of Fringe magazine. Click through for the link to the story.

20. i wrote an essay about feminism from a single mother’s perspective, and it has been picked up for an anthology called “what we think”.

    also being published is the fabulous Red Queen!

    it should be coming out in march!

21. I offer you Excitement! and New Additions to the Store!, my posts about my latest endeavor, The Official Steve the Penguin Store!. The t-shirts are pretty cool, if I do say so myself. 🙂

22. For anyone who missed my update on last week’s edition, I made a post last Sunday regarding women who do not want to have children because they are not eco-friendly. I thought this post was rather good. 🙂

    From this week, I tackled the issue of black market mid-wives as well as a great bit of anarchy out of Paris.

23. I posted the “Story of My Body” and issued a call for other submissions. I’m creating an online archive of these stories, so if you’d like to be included, please see the post for details.

24. Awe, thanks Brandann for blogwhoring for me. That was sweet.

25. My last word (I think) on the recent race/IQ blog uproar, where I take on Rushton’s whole r/K reproductive strategy nonsense. Also, a movie review of The Mist and half of 2046.

26. Where animal rights and reproductive rights intersect:
