Ohio or Bust

  • Nov. 10th, 2006 at 7:07 PM

So, we are heading down to Ohio tomorrow. I am not looking forward to the oh so long drive of 16 hours, but do want to see my family and old friends.  We haven't been home in 2  years-it feels like longer though...  We should be there sometime on Sunday.  Of course I am completely stressed out and worried about leaving my babies, but it will all work out in the end. Ohio here we come!

Sexual Harassement Solution = New Underwear!

  • Oct. 28th, 2006 at 11:18 AM

I truly cannot believe this.  A fire station in British Columbia has had 4 women firefighters say they have been harassed by some of the male firefighters. So, obviously the solution is to make them all wear the same boxer underwear.  Forget about investigating the accusations, or punishment or any of those crazy ideas!  More here...

The bitter cold and snow, yes snow, did not keep people away for the bike ride!  Appearances were made by Scudder Parker (VT's next Governor) and his people powered train, Vt's next Congressman Peter Welch, and various news media.  I am always amazed by the support of men in this cause and there were quite a few there today!  Good time had by all, even though my toes are still numb form the cold snow....

Secret Life of the Maxi Pad

I love Seventh Generation... This video is so funny and it was filmed here in Burlington (where SG is) and at the health food store I go to! Check out theTampontification site too

The irony amidst all of this violence...

  • Oct. 14th, 2006 at 11:10 AM




So, do something postitve:

- Volunteer at a local shelter
- Donate to your local shelter
- TALK to people about DV- Your silence will not protect you...  (Bonus points if you know who said this)
- Be aware of the issues

The big fat elephant in the room...

  • Oct. 14th, 2006 at 10:46 AM

We here in Burlington are in shock because of the murder of a UVM student- read more here...   I think we have a false sense of security here in Burlington that was shattered when this happened.  

The one thing that people are not talking about with all of the recent violence that has occurred (the shootings here n Essex, the Amish school shooting,  etc.) is that it has all been violence towards women and girls.  Why aren't  people making this connection?  Why aren't we having forums/meetings/conferences about preventing this violence against females?  Some say the solution to all the school shootings is to arm the teachers with firearms.  This is so ridiculous that I have no words... Yes, lets prevent the violence with more violence. That's a great idea!  

This should be a wake up call to this country that violence against women IS happening and will continue to happen at such alarming rates unless we start talking about it, and acknowledging that it IS a problem, and coming up with SOLUTIONS- that don't involve guns!

Rant over...


Cooking with Feminists!

I love Stephen Colbert...

Go here...

Or, so says some GOPs.  Hilarious interview with David Rakoff on The Daily Show about what the GOP thinks of our parts and the "gay agenda"... Disturbing..

It won't let me imbed the video, but here is the link

Censorship

  • Oct. 8th, 2006 at 4:36 PM
Reading is love
According to Alison Bechdel on her site, a crazy MIssouri woman is trying to ban her wonderful book Fun Home.  While I think this is more of a compliment than anything, why this book? Is it her father's sexuality, her being a lesbian, or what?  It makes no sense to me at all.  Regardless, you should read this book.  Here is the story in the local paper.

Safe Paws Journal

  • Oct. 8th, 2006 at 2:29 PM

Safe Paws now has it's own journal/blog/site! You must now do these things:

1) Go check it out!
http://safepaws.livejournal.com

2) Tell people about it! (especially if they live in VT or are dv advocates, animal rights advocates)

3) Give me feedback about it- I figured since we are not a full blown organization with no money, a blog would be perfect to inform people

 

  By the way- I am changing the color of the paw to grey because all I could think of when I saw this was Blue's Clues!

Lost related

  • Oct. 5th, 2006 at 8:32 AM

They were discussing LOST on NPR yesterday, mainly about how diverse the cast was. I couldn't agree more.  Where else can you find so many characters of so many different races/cultures on one show?  No, this season of Survivor doesn't count, and that is a whole different subject that I don't want to get into, thank you.  I like the fact that they do not play on stereotypes and even have mixed couples (which is STILL rare on television and movies-hello???)  I like that the female characxters are strong too.  Now, all they need is some gay characters to round out the show!  Anyway, just my two cents on that.  Now, I must go to my volunteer job...

Tomorrow is the season premiere of Lost! I don't normally love television this much, but this is one of my favorite shows-second only to the L Word.  If you haven't seen this show, you must!  Okay, that's it...

Yummy

I know I'm kind of late to the wonderful goodness that is Vegan with a Vengeance,  but, nonetheless, I made Stewed Tofu and Potatoes in Miso Gravy and it was very delish. It was perfect on this cold, rainy, October Sunday.
