May 18, 2007

This is a guest post from judyb12 at the tween-oriented chicablog. Kids quite naturally think about the big issues as easily as they think about the small issues, and it’s never too early to introduce them to feminism, which is in its purest form a straightforward anti-bigotry movement. It’s a great topic for parents to […]

Sorry, dialup users, it’s another YouTube. This one is silent beats, a student film which won the Princess Grace Award. It’s a beautiful piece about first impressions and assumptions, something like David Bowie’s I’m Afraid of Americans. Video over the jump. community wikipage :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: ::

It will save the readers time and aggravation wading through things that needn’t have been posted in the first place. It will save me time and aggravation moderating, editing, and deleting comments. Win/Win. I will be going through comments once per day and approving/deleting them, so it could be a number of hours before you […]

Here’s another song from Nine Inch Nails (I know, I know, we’re all about the NIN, but what can we say: we’re all about the NIN and besides, you’d be hard-pressed to find a band that writes about these issues quite so well). This particular song has some points that are positive and some that […]

  cross-posted from raincoaster What causes art? In this case, it’s simple: a child’s desire for mutilation. Do 13-year-olds really need to be saving their babysitting and paper route money for breast implants? Cheryl-Ann Webster wondered that herself, when her daughter told her that a friend was already socking away money for the boobflation job she […]
