The Odds & Ends Drawer

In the drawer this time around:

• frog reports on the NZ Women's Weekly's first ever green issue.
• Jess reveals that the Care Bears are next up for a bizarre overhaul; apparently they have too much belly fat and need longer eyelashes.
• Haydn has a guest post at Public Address about the sexual violation allegations against four members of the touring English rugby team, which has resulted in a comment thread that is well worth putting some time aside to read.
• C.C. shares a statement on consent which she re-found the other day.
• Joe suggests Obama put Clinton on the Supreme Court bench.
• finsec writes about an international trade union campaign to end the exploitation of "beer girls."
• Eric and Lyn have two additions to the index of progressive posts about the current abortion debate.
• Anjum reflects on the fact that she doesn't want to spend her last days comfortably reminiscing.
• meganwegan has a collective heap of beauty tips from actual real women. And she finishes up with some pictures of cupcakes!
• kakariki celebrates the 500th post on Radical Cross Stitch, and starts out on an ambitious new project, to record and acknowledge the craft activism of past generations.
• Deborah has a scrummy recipe for Lamb Galette. Drool!
• Frida adds her thoughts on the UN's recent resolution on sexual violence.
• And those in Wellington might be interested in attending the Pretty Pretty Pretty 3 monthiversary party in a couple of weeks!
